    Half the point of the El Dorado acquisition was to out source the book to Hill....

    They wanted to get out of the stone age and get online so you get William Hill to do that but that only gets you to the on deck circle. To get in the game and take a swing, you need to own William Hill altogether. They are now one of the major players in the market. Before they were trying to figure out how to operate a sportsbook online.

    Not likely. They are playing from behind and William Hill does not offer what it takes to dominate the industry.They will have to buy out somebody else to dominate which they may do. They will not do it on their own.

    The General is on the money here. We're still in the nascent stage of legal (near) nationwide gambling in the US, but if folks like JJ Gold are right and everyone is going to make us pay -115 or even -120 juice instead of the standard -110, we will indeed buy the action in order to avoid jumping through all the hoops of offshore shops. I will grant that my wagers are absolutely recreational, i.e. small potatoes, but at what dollar amount is someone considered big-time? It's a ways up there, and all of us below that threshhold will indeed pay a bit more in order to feel more secure about our elusive payouts.

    Caesars as far as Pennsylvania has the best money lines meaning the Tightest money lines

    It’s in house book not run out of Europe Not live betting on everything just big stuff, More of a traditional Las Vegas book

    Bettors come in lay 15 or 20k whatever price. You'd think these guys would want the best price, but not so.

    Pricing will become very competitive as this baby grows. These corporate ppl don't know what to do yet, but as ppl like me grow into legal mgmt roles, things will change. These corporate ppl really don't know how this chit work in the small towns where legalization is taking place.

    Gold, I'm not talking down on the corporate ppl. I understand where they are, but they were learning how to do a photo shoot with a a slot winner when me and you and walker and Weitzner were taking on the offshore sportsbook elite. It's just true.

    I can think of 4, I think, ha. Vaccaro at SouthPoint, WestGate, Circa, and Caesars. I don't think Station Books are hooked in with any I listed.

    Above I have accounts with, also MGM. That is 6, I leave anybody out?

    I'm part of the communication chain with Caesars and the plans aren't nothing to ignore. It's going to be a fun ride. I hope I'm part of it for a long time. Hopefully, in Casino sportsbooks are here to stay. (?). Online betting is the chit already.

    Caesars has dime lines up to 160 I believe in the USA

    Most of those other books can’t touch that

    This is a win for bettors because Caesars has the largesse Hill never did.

    Whales will feel more comfortable and the action will be steamier.

    Will William Hill lines replace Caesars soon? Anyone know how long? Will it be the whole betting menu, straights, RR, parlays, sweetheart teasers? I'm wondering more on the sweetheart football teasers, which WHill offers 3 team 10 and 4 team 14...

    I haven't seen this in Caesar's casinos outside of Vegas though. For example, that one by chicago (Indiana?) I think it's called horseshoe doesn't have William Hill lines or kiosks.
