    Vegas vs offshore

    I am moving to Vegas and just wondering do Vegas books adjust their lines slower than offshore usually? I know it is best to have both offshore and local vegas books, but wondering whose lines are sharper vegas or offshore and who adjust the quickest. Thanks

    Vegas follows the offshore books.

    While you are in Vegas make sure to give us a weekly update of how much money you spent that week on strippers and whores.

    You're going to enjoy Vegas; no better feeling than walking up to the window knowing that you're going to get paid immediately.

    Don't trust JJ. Just live in the suburbs and use all the sportsbooks apps to place bets.

    Most notable differences between Las Vegas sportsbooks and online that I can think of (these might apply to all American sportsbooks compared to foreign ones):
    -online has higher limits and has a global market
    -Las Vegas sportsbooks will usually follow the global market, but only after taking action on whatever they have. But it doesn't take much action. On the small markets I like max bets are often as low as $300; whenever they're different from online books, they'll adjust after one bet.
    -Scalps and arbitrage are available everyday.
    -Las Vegas is regulated, they will pay with virtually zero issues. That's obvious, but extremely important. And while they do give heat and backoffs, it is hard and a rarity for them to completely kick someone out.
    -Most Las Vegas sportsbooks have to answer to a casino and most of them have to answer to stock holders. They want the same consistency from the sportsbooks that they get from table games and machines. That means they would rather win $100,000 two weeks in a row, rather then win $300,000 one week and lose $50,000 the next.

    AC is just as bad. At least Nevada has lower taxes than NJ.

    New Hampshire is about to legalize sports betting and casinos.
    NH is nice but cold in the winter, doesn’t assess taxes on personal income taxes, has no state sales tax too.
    NH also has a wicked low crime rate (just stay out of Manchester)

    Also if you live in NH you’re in driving distance to Mass., Rhode Island, and Connecticut casinos.

    Drawbacks to living in NH are higher property taxes and exise taxes on thing such as alcohol.
    Nasher is seriously thinking about retirement in NH, Connecticut is not an option.

    Not really, the taxes are low, it’s blazing hot and dry, good for people with joint problems though.
    Crime rate is high.
    I was looking at Nye County too, that’s no prize either.

    Why the Vegas hate? Not saying I’d want to live there but for a couple weekends out of the year it’s awesome.

    Agreed, live music and shows for all ages and tastes.
    Two weekends a year is fine.

    JJ is just bitter about Vegas because he lost while playing slots. Newark NJ is worse.

    That you are going to find out for your self - a posted limit and getting the bet down are two different things. Get the phone apps in Nevada and things will go fine.

    Walk in with 10k for the Patriots game - no players card - not staying at the hotel - no front money account - a lot harder task.

    Going to live in Henderson and stay away from the strip. Married with children will keep me in the burbs. Is it better to use the app or walk up to the window? I figure better to walk up so they can't track you and cut your limits?

    Use the apps - sprinkle the front money - tremendous convenience. You know there is a downside in dealing with cash all the time. Ask for big chips-leave it there in a front money account. They can track you whether you give them your name or not. That town invented face recognition software!

    It's too hot in Vegas and you will get fat from the unhealthy food. And you can't score with women if you are a fat gambler.

    Listen fellas, if you were sweating your rooster balls off on the overpasses selling bottles of water then sleeping under the overpasses, with one eye open so that you didn't get a rooster fukked... you would hate Vegas also.

    Don't think so.
    On an NFL side, can get down $100,000 in Las Vegas. Might not even have to go to more than one place. On the smallest / slowest moving / softest markets, most places are $300 to $500 limits on accounts. Anything in person will need approval over those amounts and usually be denied if it's a good number.. Westgate will go up to $1,000. William Hill just kicks people out. Some places on the strip might be little better, haven't done too much with those guys. TI was great when their app first came out, then started to suck, don't know anything about it now. MGM has 20 cent lines on baseball (heard their app is better but haven't confirmed), Wynn almost as bad. Which is another major difference. Online has much lower juice. Not always a bad thing to bet at higher juice -- fewer people want to bet into it, so they aren't always as sharp. Cantor want their books balanced everyday, sometimes lets players bet a lot on certain things, other times won't let you bet anything on their best numbers

    Bookmaker advertised $5,000 on those bets, Pinnacle even higher, Matchbook however much you can get.

    What if you lose your ticket? There is a value to the players card at that point!
