#4I know there's a delay between t.v. and live action.but how do the books always know the outcome of the play before it happens on live t.v.? Do they have a different feed where there's no delay or do they have a person in the stadium of every gameComment -

They probably just kept giving him money to keep him happy since they knew he was just gonna blow it plus a lot more.Comment -

Doesn't pay much. Game ticket plus $50 sort of deal I think.
This dude sounds like a likely type!
Antar is a convicted fraudster who faces the prospect of additional prison time in November for a scheme in which he cheated friends and relatives of money he used to feed his compulsive gambling habit. In the most recent case, he has pleaded guilty to theft by deception.He also is the nephew of Eddie Antar, who founded the Crazy Eddie electronics stores in the 1970s and 1980s, who defrauded investors out of more than $74 million. Eddie Antar died in 2016.
In 2013, Sam Antar was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for taking $225,000 in a fraudulent investment scheme.
“I’ve been in prison once, and I’m probably facing prison again, and it all had to do with me not being able to admit to myself I was a compulsive gambler,” Antar said in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday. “When I look at what I did, I’m sick about it. A lot of people have this problem and they need help.”
In his lawsuit, Antar claims he alerted numerous employees and officials with the gambling companies to the fact that there was a serious, recurring problem with disconnections, but that they knowingly kept malfunctioning games available to the public because they were too profitable to take down.
He says his complaints were made to local supervisors and VIP hosts, an online complaint portal, and even to the president of the casino and the CEO of its parent company.
He also claims the companies paid him near-daily bonuses totaling $30,000 a month to keep him playing and to entice him not to report problems with the games to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
I hope if he wins the fine goes to a safe gambling fund and not to the player.
Not good for bettors or the industry if degens can turn this into a game where they lose everything and try to claim it back later. Has made for a mess in the UK system but not tolerated in many other jurisdictions thankfully..Comment -

Those girls outside the horse book gave me a 1k free bet with a 1k deposit. I bet the 1k on a hockey game which won and the other 1k on a basketball game. Both won. They let me cash out the balance and it was available at the window when they opened the next day.Comment -

In Vegas, MGM gives you absolutely NOTHING and MGM owns Borgata.
Perhaps if you didn't carry any comp balance, then you can ask for something and they will give you something but for someone like me who carries a few hundreds in comp balance asking them for anything is just a waste of time as I will get nothing.
I played 8 hours just two days ago with the average bet of $100+ with the max bet of $2,000 a hand and I got only $33 comp dollars which translates to like 4% of the average bet size. When Boyd ran things, it was an automatic 15% of the average bet amount and I would have gotten $120 in comp dollars.Comment -

#28Why would you think that Borgata gives you good comps? Ever since they took over fully from Boyd running the casino operation, their food comping rate went down to less than 1/2 of what it used to be; more like 1/3 if anything. Now, it's even worse.

What do you play at Borgata and what's your average bet size? It has to be in hundreds to get 3 comped nights a week.
Also, I can only guess that you lose a lot, too. But then, you bet big enough you can win a lot, too.
Don't you have to use your comp dollars for food and drinks?
Or, does your host comp all your expenses? It's probably this.Comment -
