When you come to Vegas why do you bet more than at home?
We have all done it.
Bet 100 a game at home...get off the plane in Vegas
and now betting 250 a game...?
Why do gamblers do this?

I bet bigger because I expect to win and offset the cost of my food, clubbing, drinks, etc. I like having the cash immediately. I either go home buried or up a little $.
Last time I was there I put a big bet on the Sunday Night MLB game to pay off my whole trip. Was sweating that shit but Tigers came back to beat Reds.

vegas lines suck.
only good thing about vegas that is slightly better is the payout process

Depends where I have more money, when 90% of my cash is offshore I bet bigger online when most of my money is in USA then I bet bigger in Vegas or about the same

I bet more because I usually go for plays I picked ahead of time.
Also I don't play bacarrat online. Load up in Vegas.

because it is real money, cash money buddy. And it is vacation - all winnings go to good times, not always to more action.

Isn't that against your religion to have premarital sex?

I bet let for the same reason Bronx does, I can't hand over hundred dollar bills, but I can surely push a few buttons.

Why would you have to pretend to be big time Gold? Your easily one of the recognizable heads in the industry!

I agree. I've been to Vegas twice... won both times there... 2k and 2.5k... and I actually played more conservative... more accurate than online.

i will get a lot of bullshits on this but I have never had a losing trip gambling wise in vegas.
only sports book action. I don't play table games
but every time the trip is over i kick myself in the ass for not betting more
very easy to push a button at home once the money is gone. hurts much more walking up to the window handing over 2 or 3 dimes.
I never have more then 10%-15% of cash I bring in action at any one time

It's the bigger stage of gambling there, Slick. Got to step out on that bigger stage as a gambler sometimes.
