I have finalized my decision to move to Vegas

**Vesuvius** · 01-17-11, 09:16 PM

25K bankroll? You will need a miracle...

**jjgold** · 01-17-11, 09:19 PM

Nothing wrong with trying something but when it involves gambling and family your making a huge mistake.

There Is no reason to go there when you get better odds offshore and have a job

This makes zero sense

I really couldn't agree more. Especially with a small bankroll, how much do you plan, or wish to make a year? Can't be much with that bankroll. Would be much better off putting 5K in a different sportsbook.

Step into my office and please lay down on my couch:

The OP probably doesn't realize it but betting on sports is not the real reason he is moving to Vegas. Sports betting is on the surface, but his real motivation lies deeper; that is, he's moving to Vegas for primarily psychological reasons.

The guy seeks to go on this journey because at his core he is unsatisfied with his daily grind of work, marriage, etc and he is seeking an exit from the daily stress of his domestication.

This is not to suggest that his marriage is not strong or that his work is not worthy, but that deep down he wants more: he wants to board a ship, sail to the New World and walk into the forest with naught more than a knife and his wits.

He is motivated to make this journey not to bet on sports, but to bet on himself.

He's willing to risk his career and marriage for the chance to win the battle against his discontent.

This is not that necessarily a bad thing.

This journey can be cathartic and he can learn and grow and move on -- he can "win".

Verily, his "bet" on himself must win, or else he will remain unsatisfied and his marriage and career will fail.

Luckily for him, his winning his bet on himself has nothing to do with the amount of money he wins or loses betting on sports, but rather if he can gain perspective. He needs to realize that his happiness must come from within himself and that the discontent he feels that he needs to escape from can be dispelled from within his own mind.

That's why he is moving to Vegas. (and if his wife is in tune with his real reasons, it is probably the reason she is agreeing to let him go.)

This is brilliantly wise, and 100% true.

You need a minimum of 100,000 to do this and plus 6k a year for a professional line service

LV Bound does not have the experience nor the money to even attempt this

Family relocation is ok if your going to get a job as long as it does not involve gmabling

LV Bound you will lose everything plus 10x more in credit

**Killa** · 01-17-11, 10:35 PM

JJGOLD how much money do you have to your name.

**jjgold** · 01-17-11, 10:37 PM

So your gong to bet baseball and bet Yanks at -149 in Vegas where as at Pinnacle you can get -140 and even so betting one side to a game means getting fukkin destroyed

Now if you put 10K on yanks and another 12k or or so on other side looking for a scalp then you would have a chance but you need to do this day and night with 5 books or more and a $550 per month line service

This thread is fukkin comical

Question for op: why does your system have to be run in Vegas? Strictly for legal reasons?

**Extra Innings** · 01-17-11, 10:38 PM

See in you in the winner's circle

The only this +EV in this thread was the mention of a pension.

Even if you cannot do the programming yourself, a third party can knock up an application to compile/display xml feeds for a fraction of that.

**Deuce** · 01-17-11, 11:21 PM

As much as we bash the bald asshole, he has been there and done that. He knows the ropes better than most here. Guy is serious. I think LV needs to rethink his adventure and actually call jj to have a real conversation about someone that knows the ins and outs of Vegas and sports betting.

**FuzzyDunlop** · 01-17-11, 11:29 PM

Best of luck, what kind of hit does your pension take if you go back to being a cop?

**Vegas_bond** · 01-18-11, 12:21 AM

"He´s ready to risk it all, and transform himself into a Vegas hustler. Armed with only his brain, and an ambitious plan. He assaults the Casinos on a scale never seen before. This is the true story of LVBOUND, the genius family man who threw all away for a chance to win millions at Sportsbetting ..."

BOL.

**windwind** · 01-18-11, 12:31 AM

good luck, but ur crazy, u moving to a desert?

**Al Masters** · 01-18-11, 12:50 AM

Gl Matt,I'm sure you remember my opinion on Cops, glad to hear your leaving the gang to follow your hopes and dreams.

The trick is to be smarter then the rest in many categories, been doing it playing poker for many years.it's a tough gig buddy.

well said

JJ is dispensing some invaluable information in this thread

**clip1** · 01-18-11, 01:02 AM

one thing i got to tell you don't do it

**Wade Dwayne** · 01-18-11, 01:05 AM

Quitting a Government job With the current US unemployment rate is very risky. You may want to chase down the resignation letter.

**thezbar** · 01-18-11, 02:15 AM

I won't judge. I went this route long ago. Lasted three months. $ was made but there was costs! Namely low self esteem and poorer health. It seemed fun at the beginning, at the end it was a just another dead end job. I moved on and found employment in the public sector. The money earned those three months was just too much hard work. Its wasn't as glamorous as it appeared.

**kingdom** · 01-18-11, 02:51 AM

I plan to do the same. But not to get rich.earn a modest living doing what I love.with a love of gambling and poker,vegas is the mecca for that.the gambling will be supplemental and not main income.if true, you have a plan b of returning home in 6 mos.so go and have a hell of a time with plan a and I hope to see you there.gl.

**bogbat** · 01-18-11, 03:13 AM

Why not become a LV cop and gamble on the side there. Or even move to Australia, where you can bet on sports legally and they are in desperate need of police, and it is much safer there.

**tblues2005** · 01-18-11, 04:14 AM

LVBound,

I am glad to see you taking a chance at this. I do think that if you play your spots you will be fine. I see that you are going to be doing baseball come baseball season. I would shop around lines and get the best line when you are there is key to you doing well. If you play it smart and not get greedy you will be successful. I do think you can make it if you play it with a good strategy.

I don't know if I had a chance to meet you at the bash but most of the guys that I met there was very cool. I do think that you may need to know that things are pretty expensive there and I would look into getting a hotel that you can stay at for a monthly rate would be the best route for you at first. Just look online at craigslist and you can find a place that will be an affordable price. One other thing I would like to tell you that food is expensive out there and that is what I seen when I went to the bash was food was outrageously expensive. You just be careful out there and you go with a strategy and don't get off of it and you will be in good shape.

As far as finding a job out there that will help you get by should not be a problem. I would first go to the temp places there and they probably will find something for you.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get to be very successful on this. I know Fishhead will tell you that you can do it but you have to take your spots. If you didn't get a chance to meet with him you should. He is a total cool person to meet.

**hanziman** · 01-18-11, 05:45 AM

I honestly don't understand why people feel they actually have to live in Vegas to do this as a full time "real job" other than using it in arguments on internet message boards and being all "dude i live in vegas" when u argue over the line movement of a game.

The greatest thing about offshore gambling online is you can continue your normal life and bet just as much as if you were in Vegas. Or just live where you are now and do it full time online. There are plenty of good high roller sites out there.

There's no "edge" to living there and gambling on sports. It's the same shit as when u sit in front of your computer capping games which you would still do there.

If it's the allure or going into an actual sportsbook casino on a daily basis and handing over cash to a man behind a window and he gives you a ticket, then OK but to me that's all it is.

Totally keep your day job and that pension. It will only burn you out worse than being a cop. I can honestly say you will regret it.

Vegas also is on of worst places in fukkin world to live

Vegas cannot wait for a guy like LVBOUND to come into town, they have seen guys 10000% sharper and take all their money too

LV Bound stay home man because your making a big mistake, I am here to help

Odds your at the fukkin blackjack tables soon after you arrive are like -160 or so and odds you have markers for $50k within 6 months -170

**bobbyfk** · 01-18-11, 06:50 AM

LVbound,

Best of luck to you, keep us informed of how you are doing. Could you answer me one question please, why not become a professional sports bettor from your own home?
