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.

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.
