i would guess if it was a big sportbook and the game was in the NFL or a top 20 matchup in college football or b-ball, that they wouldn't blink an eye, but if you were throwing that down on some obscure game it might raise a flag. my brother was in vegas last fall for a UFC fight and he told me about going to bet on the fights when he was in line at the counter there was a guy in front of him laying 50g on michigan in football, and he said he seen some people laying 10g or more on those UFC fights.

Seriously, I would find five or ten people who I could trust and take them to Vegas and have them all make bets at different casinos. If you're sure it's a winner, why not have an all expenses paid vacation. Five or ten people betting $10-$20k each won't be a problem at all. No raised eyebrows, no problems, imho.
