    Is Vegas an option?

    The Matchbook situation, combined with a local yokel who owes me 5 figures and is putting me off, has me seriously considering moving to Vegas. Problem is, I have a young kid who lives on the east coast, and no way his mom is going to move. So I'd probably be traveling back at least once a month.

    My questions are:

    Do most Vegas sportsbooks allow you to have phone accounts?

    If you are a Nevada resident, and have a Vegas cell phone number, can you call these books if you're out of state?

    Very few have phone accounts along with a low daily max you can bet.

    No you can't call from out of state.

    The current enforcement of the “wire act” from 1960 prohibits phone calls from outside NV.
