? for Fishhead

[VegasPlayer]

Can you tell me if any of the books in town offer daily props on Baseball? Trying to save myself some running around to find out. Thanks

[Fishhead]

Been out of LV for 5+ years.

Most of the props have terrible VIG in Vegas anyway.

Try the LV HILTON or the THE IP...............

Sorry I cannot be of a bigger help.

When I was part of the oddsmaking team at the old Sands, we put up an array of props daily that were unique and only featured at are establishment.

I'm sure some Vegasites will provide the info your looking for in this thread, take care.

Props are a waste because of high juice

LV Hilton, Imperial Palace, or Palms.

Most Vegas books are scared of props.

i'll nevr forget when i was in Vegas in 1994, most sportsbooks had 20 cent lines..then i walk into this book i'd never heard of called Barbary Coast... and i thought i was dreaming.. they had 5 cent lines in baseball. back then, almost every bookie here had only 20 cent lines.. and here i was playing into a 5 cent line.

i ended up hanging there for my whole trip.. i loved it.... right on the main strip next to a McD's..

i wonder if that book is still around with 5 cent lines..

Have spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours in the joint..................lots of memories.

[Sam Odom]

Barbary Coast was one one the main stops for 'runners.' Even those riding bicycles

[MonkeyF0cker]

The McDonalds isn't close to Barbary Coast. It's by Harrahs and Casino Royale. Barbary Coast was a Boyd property but was bought by Harrahs and is now Bill's Gambling Hall & Saloon.

[Sam Odom]

Barbary Coast was ran by the Gaughan clan.

[CaneDawg]

it had a san fran theme right

i think ive been there

Wrong

Back when Nicky was there MCD was down one floor from the main casino floor at the Barbary.............

[SlickFazzer]

Drank a ton of cheep beer by the bar right beside the book at bills gambling hall.

[Sam Odom]

Barbary Coast used to give me a free limo ride to El Cortez, another Gaughan property, so I could play 25cent craps all afternoon and drink free Budweiser then a free ride back to the BC drunk as hell. Those were the days!

[Fishhead]

The Barbary also had a nice $1 bank of progressive video poker where yours truly ran worse than anyone when the play turned +ev because of the progressive........never hit a single one in about 9 tries and on one incident it was a complete nightmare.......(after playing 14 hours, five of us pros had to draw straws and the loser had to leave so they could make room for a Barbary Coast whale..........of course, I lost).




ps- There is now a new nevada gaming law in place where this is illegal for a casino to do(at least that's would I heard).......and rightly so.

Also spent many hours at the bar there with the late great SAM ANGEL, a true LV legend and icon.

[Nicky Santoro]

wow, thanks fishler..i guess my memory is still great.. i do remember a McD's just outside it.. i remember Barbary Coast as being a little ugly old room not too big and it looked like a hole.. it wasn't classy looking like Mirage, or caesar's palace,etc.. and i remember the casino floor was small. it had only like 6 BJ tables...boy, what great memories of 94 there at barbary coast.

Does anyone know if Vegas still have a barbary coast style casino, like a reduced juice sportsbook.. they must because if barbary coast had 5 cent lines 15 yrs ago, when reduced juice hardly occured.. then i can imagine today there must be one, or maybe even a 2 cent line book..

there's gotta be at least 1 in vegas, no?
