Betting with smaller books

[CharlieMaxwell]

Despite limited resources, the smaller Las Vegas sports books continue to take customers away from larger Strip chain properties such as the Mirage and Caesars. More sports gamblers are boycotting the big chains, and with good reason. Other books offer better odds, more betting options and an overall superior gamble.

Fezzik basically says to stay away from the MGM/Mirage chain of sportsbooks. I agree, they suck.

 

[Brock Landers]

Allt he vegas book are a JOKE compared to the likes of Pinnacle...

Its like comparing apples and oranges!

they have ONE advantage, you get your cash when the game ends...thats it.

Well LV books really have 2-3 things that offshore does not.

Instant Settlement, in Cash.
No Paper Trail
Usually Softer Number

I agree, been to 95% of Vegas books and the MGM & affiliates are the worst. Las Vegas Hilton is tough to beat in my books.

One surprise is that the Venetian sportsbook in Las Vegas has posted NFL Win Totals. Major kudos for that as no other book has them including off-shore.

 

[Fezzik]

I don't know how properties like Ballys/Luxor keep customers

:money8: Mind boggling how indifferent they are to customers. A $2 race bettor gets priority over a $2,000 sports bettor at Ballys. At Excalibur/Luxor guys sit around, no manager is even ready to approve big bets AT POST. The Board is often wrong.

Screw all that. Bet anywhere else.

Worst sportsbook in Nevada

Silver Legacy in Reno hands down.

 

[ChuckSims]

The Palms is the best sportsbook in Las Vegas in my opinion. No NBA lines though.

I'm going to LV next week for the DLH fight... where can I place some bets on the fight... total rounds, etc...??

Anywhere. Try The Palms for the fairest odds, and probably a few more props offered than dumps like the MGM/Mirage chain of shit books run by that weasel Robert Walker.

Thanks Chuck...

Barbary Coast is the best option on the Strip, although the Coast books too aren't quite what they used to be. They do have offer overnights and decent numbers, although certainly you could find better online.
