I am guessing the lack of responses means that there is no place to see what the lines are on games for M or for Treasure Island.

Don Best.

Pretty sure T.I. is still MGM despite the recent sale, could be wrong for I have never been there.

I didn't realize this until your post, but I see that M, Venetian, and Golden Nugget are all no longer included on the VI site.

No line service for TI, and they aren't MGM. No line service for Cantor or Venetian. VI has Strat. DB has everyone else.

I talked to the VI guy last week and he said M (or Cantor Gaming if you prefer which also has Hard Rock and Cosmo) pulled the plug and he indicated that those guys down there were pretty arrogant and hard to deal with. It sounded as if he did not anticipate them coming on line again any time soon.

Also some interesting news around Vegas for those of you interested it looks like Riviera is switching from Leroy's to Lucky's. And even bigger news is that William Hill supposedly bought out Leroy's, Lucky's, and Cal-Neva and will be controlling all three within the next year pending approval by the Nevada State Gaming Commission. This actually is not good for line shopping as these books all have dime lines and give you three chances to get the best line. Who knows what William Hill will make of them. The only good I could see is if WH implemented some form of intrastate online gambling like you see with Station's Casinos SportsConnection or with the Blackberry App at Leroy's.

Who is running the TI book? I know Phil Ruffin bought them. He used to own the Frontier. I always thought the Frontier did their own booking, is that what is going on at TI?

yeah wojo TI is an independent book. they use 15 cent lines for MLB. well actually lines with similar break points to the Wynn I think. 10 cent lines up to like -130 or -135 then 15 cent lines up to like -165 or something like that then 20 cent lines for a stretch. The problem with places like TI or M that don't show lines is that it is hard to justify a trip in to the place if they aren't going to have any lines that are for sure the best in town. still it is nice to have them as an option i guess. just wish there was a way to see their lines online somewhere. it is actually surprising that you can't see cantor gaming online somewhere for any of the online books they are part of.

Someone please hold me while I weep. Within two years there will be 5 outs, tops. Time to dust off the resume for that assistant night manager position at KFC.

It's a micro limit clone shop. Safely ignored.

Sounds like the New Frontier.

Stations still take your action Ricky?

I've been here for roughly 2 months and they already told me not to come back.

Yes, whether they like it or not. They did cost me a night in jail though.

Yes. The same people who ran the New Frontier book are now in TI. I wouldn't call them a clone book, though. They'll take an opinion every once in a while (although it may just be that they're willing to move a line more than others in order to get even action).

I bet that is an entertaining story.
