A Vegas Baseball Betting Question?

[oldmantime]

What are the standard limits on sides for major league baseball game betting in Vegas?

I'm thinking that since it's the easiest game to beat the limits might be low. I'm not talking the World Series or playoffs. Just your everyday games?


Fish??

I have been out of the loop in Vegas for 2.5 years so I think it is best to let someone else answer this at this juncture to gain a more accurate answer.

I think a lot of books in Vegas only take $1,000.

At $1000 a game and with the number of books in Vegas; it would seem to me that there are at least a few professionals that earn a living playing the bases.

oldmantime- Just as Fish said, I have been out of the loop as well and really don't even talk to anyone that bets in the sportsbooks here. The sportsbooks here are yesterdays news since Las Vegas got out of the gambling business a long time ago.

The dogshit casinos here are fine for the rube tourists and the local squares betting their six team $5 parlays but anyone considering betting more than $100 on a regular basis and wants a wide betting menu should have offshore accounts. It's really that simple. You can still get down decent amounts here but you have to spread it around. These casinos are incredibly inconvenient to get in and out of and when you mix in the traffic nightmare that Las Vegas has become, who would even want to bother?

soccerbob---that's very discouraging to read.

It's true ! Your best bet is a lot of offshores, If you have Vegas lines (consider it a bonus ) You don't have to live in Vegas to bet ! In fact it may be a minus, technically illegal there !

Traffic a problem, but a Fezzik could make it worthwhile, we aren't all Fezzik's. My opinion !
