    Need to make a decision in the next two hours.

    Do I fly to Vegas on Saturday?

    Touchdown 8:30am local time and leave 1am next day, I'll be there for the entire day of hoops and football. Is it worth the little extra buying the tickets so late for the chance of winning some money?

    On that same note some of you give me some locks, bringing $1400 and hoping to come back with $2500 or more.

    Don't go there if you need to win. My advice is to get an education get a high paying job and go to vegas for fun. Win/lose

    Oh I hardly need to win, I have an education and can afford the luxury of planning something last minute like this. I'm hardly in the position where I need this money.

    I hate them and they look like complete toilets but this team beat the Pats and the Saints with refs help. They will get the favorable flags again on Sunday and beat the Raiders.

    asking a chit chat room full of degens if you should go to vegas and bet all day, pretty much answers you're own question.

    Was hoping I'd get more picks, so far I feel good about OKST ML and I'm wondering why La-La is a 3 point dog in their matchup that night, I would have thought a pick.

    i would put a little something on a 5 team ML parlay

    Mizzou ML over Auburn

    Ohio State ML over Michigan State

    Arizona State ML over Stanford

    49ers ML over Seahawks

    Saints ML over Panthers

    The one i'm least confident in is Mizzou but love the other 4.

    1400 isn't much unless you're just going to sit on your ass. Regardless, I wish you the best.

    Service girls- not hookers but everyday single real job girls are likely on prowl looking for a guy to hook them up during holidays.....work them. Talk big, hit it, bounce.

    Bet Islands of hook ups.
