Do Vegas spoortsbooks ban or lower limits like these shady offshore books do?

[RickySteve]

you are joking right? i go at least once a month. more during football season the last year..

i know you can lay a stack on mlb totals at hilton, venetian, mandalay bay, Lucky's for sure because i can remember when i did at these places.. and i am just 28 years old wearing a baseball cap and a t-shirt.. i didn't need approval any of the times..

Like i said i laid over 2k on a UFC fight..

the only time i have ever needed approval was when i laid a bet on the dolphins once for 1500 bucks and the line had just moved .5 a point and i wanted to buy the original number..

at a real vegas book you can get at least 1k down on pretty much everything.. i am sure smaller establishments might give you a hard time.. try the mandalay bay.. they have pretty high limits on everything..

Lucky's has a pretty f'ing hard $500 limit on MLB totals, so if that's what you define as a "stack" then I guess we're in agreement.

Yes, Hilton and MGM are two places that generally take larger-than-average wagers.

Venetian I can't really comment. I rarely go there because they aren't on the screen. I'm guessing they bum-hunt pretty hard just like the Wynn.

So that's 4 books, can you please enlighten me about the remaining 13? I only bet here every day but you come once a month so I defer to your expertise.

just speaking from my personal experience not trying to get in a pissing contest with you as you have pretty much said i am partially correct..

[Darkside Magick]

my question would be how much from a vegas sportsbook can can a person drain a week before anybody say something...$ 5000?...$10000?

[thezbar]

I was refused a dime bet at Caesars. They said since I wasn't staying at the property my limit was fifty bucks.This happened about 7:30 am. I returned ten minutes before game time and a different supervisor took the wager. This was on a Saturday, Final four weekend in March.

The M casino will take all size wagers Period on all games.

Small problem thu a couple of their ticket writers have been pinched before by the Feds and work as RATS FOR THEM. This is a 100 % Fact.

Any book in vegas if you beat then long enough will Run you out not to mention they all have limits on wagering. The days of any one person coming in laying-off 20 and 30 grand wagers are DONE.

Any sharp worth his weight in Gold plays off-shore now Period Case Closed.

And even they are not safe from bullshit ......... Q the largest player in the world got beat by an local agent from Pinnacle for 1.2 million.

Needless to say Pinny has lost his business for good.

paw

Thanks for the laugh.

Anyone who says that the Barbary Coast was ever relevant in Vegas Sportsbook circles knows nothing about Vegas.

It's obvious you know absolutely nothing about Sportsbetting in Las Vegas.

Jack Franzi who ran the Barbary and Gold Coast in the 80's and 90's is probably the most well known and successful bookmakers next to Bob Martin to ever run a book in Vegas. Jimmy Vacarro also ran the Barbary Coast at one time and Michael Gaughan has never been afraid to to take large action in his books.

I forget exactly when Barbary Coast was bought by Harrah's and changed its name to Bill's (I think 2006?), but I recall from 2003-2006 that Barbary Coast seemed to have the sharpest lines on CBB totals, so I didn't place too many bets there.

I run in to the most problems trying to buy points.

the management says to me "we dont allow point buying because no one can afford it".


one point is always a struggle but i do get it usually at the harrahs properties. two points, forget about it.

Man the stuff that went down with him when he went before the gaming board in the late 90's was great. I miss old Vegas, mostly because I was too young to take advantage.

if you want to enter a contest in las vegas , do you have to be physically present in the state at all times, or can you fax in your picks, i know you can't wire in money,

Generally, you'd need a proxy (a Nevada resident who enters your picks for you each week). Usually, they charge a fee and/or a percentage of your prospective winnings.

I am not aware of any contest where you would be able to enter your picks from out of state. In fact, I believe it would be against the law.

There is a lot of crazy stuff in this thread.
It's not hard to get money down in Vegas. Just go to different books. And don't bet the max at the local books. Bet big at Hilton and Cantor books, you won't get limited, guaranteed. You could go bet $500 at 5 books along the strip and it would take you about an hour and every single book would take it with no hesitation. $2,500 down right there. Not hard to get down money.

[RickySteve]

Sorry, is $2500 a lot?

Hearty eLOheL deep from the belly @ Hilton/Cantor not cutting limits.

ahahaha. If you have a $250,000 bankroll, or a $125,000 bankroll, which you probably do, just get some runners. If they cut one of your runners get another one.

For the 99% of the people out there making less than $3,000 bets you will be just fine...

[RickySteve]

Why have I never thought of such things?
