    Do you guys have a self serve type kiosk, Will Hill style, in the book and if so, would you mind telling me if you guys are watching the folks that hit it regularly ?

    Let's play cat and mouse here. I'm guessing by the risk managment you worked up to, it's less lines and limits, and more observance, etc. I could be wrong. I don't know you.

    Are you in Nevada? Mind telling not where, but whether your at a small outfit or with a conglomerate? Do you, or anyone above you, have the abilty to change a posted line at your specific book, if needed, for risk management?

    What's your status as far as catering to a few regulars and familiar faces?

    I'd like to know more about kiosks too. A couple times I was asked for ID as soon as I starting betting on a kiosk. I stopped going to that book for the next 6 weeks. Lately they haven't been bothering me. I would rather bet on a kiosk even if I have to bet smaller tickets. Want to avoid the approval screen.

    I was in Indiana for the SB. I put down about 6k all spread out on probably 30 bets. The supervisor would not let me bet unless I gave him official ID. This happened when I went to Pittsburgh too and bet some futures last year. In Indiana, they claim to make sure you don't owe child support and don't have any warrants out for arrest. I think there is more to all of this reason to need an I.D. Indy guy said over 2k bet he would need my ID. This is how its all going. Eventually, no paper currency, social credit scores, and ID just to cross the street. No joke. This is what they are working on.
