    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?

    big problem i have always had when i go to vegas

    you ship the money offshore and its gone. you might as well be betting fukkin m and m's

    its hard to hand that cash over to the clerk in vegas.

      probably the opportunity to be paid out immediately.

        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.

                                              I do to show off

                                              I love flashing money in a sportsbook to everyone and show I am big time even if shark or bank money

                                              Nothing like guys whispering behind you or in a book that your a big timer

                                              love it

                                                  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

                                                        basketball 200-400
                                                        baseball 250-500
