    Checked it out tonight. Decent spot. Really nice bar on each of two-levels and tons of high quality viewing screens throughout. Not nearly enough seating for big days, but probably by design. More geared to upper class clientele looking to dine, drink and wager not degens going wild over $20 bets, particularly upstairs which has a VIP area. Lots of homies standing outside the arena at the entrance to the book smoking weed on the street watching the patio tvs and going inside to bet at the machines. Interesting dynamic. If nothing else, history made by being the first of many to come in Arena Sportsbooks.

    Thanks for the update. I'll actually be there tomorrow. I was there in the fall and there was nothing there but teller windows.

    No complaints about their retail sportsbooks. WH online betting is a joke.

    If I'm banned from William Hill online, can I play in the physical book?

    Decent lines but they want a players card for even $500 bets and they don't like winners.

    What caused your being banned online? Too much winning?

    They did the 2nd floor up pretty nice but it will be overrun on football weekends. It's pretty small.

    Officially they'll never tell you except to say "it was a decision by management and their trading/risk department". I suspect they closely profile players and boot anyone that appears to place +EV wagers. The actual amount won was quite small -- just under $700 according to my spreadsheet.

    No wonder Philly got hosed down the stretch. They had to get the first game there with a live sportsbook. That late charge on Tobias Harris wasn’t even close to a charge Gafford was moving both feet, wasn’t set and wasn’t even square with Harris. That other foul on Danny Green on the defensive rebound was absolutely COMICAL. There was also a layup late by I think Melton where two defenders, both with feet in the restriced are made contact and no and 1. Simmons gets tackled mid air and no flagrant. Should of never even got to Simmons embarrassing ft shooting.

    Can you imagine if the sports book was up when Jordan was playing.

    We could find MJ at the book during half time getting in his 2H wagers.

    I always wonder if life long elite sport star degen gamblers like MJ and or Pete Rose ever thru games personally to cover spreads they bet on? Or influenced the out comes in games at some level?

    Family members and close friends would know this.. I'm sure Petey and MJ had them place the bets if so. Buffers.

    Can't be proven but I heard Wade Boggs was a bit of bettor too.

    Ever notice the alpha competitor athletes are the ones that caught up in the sports betting?

    William Hill will BAN if you win too much from their brick and mortar shop. They will also BAN if you WIN online.

    We shall see how William Hill evolves. Now fully owned by Caesars as of very recently. Hard to imagine they will be competitive in US Market if they play that game here. Already starting with sub-10% market share. They paid big bucks for it, and with the taxes, license fees etc. all books will need big handle to turn a profit.

    Yes, it will be a show. I believe you will need to be "seated" to get upstairs for big days. Not gonna let a bunch of guys stand around scream at TVs without at least a couple hundred $ tab.
