Not a high roller by any means. Last time I was in Vegas was 2007. At that time I couldn't get more than 1 dime on a college basketball game in the major conferences. I came to Vegas thinking they would take any size bet and realized quite soon that it wasn't the case unless I wanted to lose weight and get my exercise walking, which I did. Later made up for it at the buffet. Let's just say that I am playing with house money on this wager after a pretty good college football season and feel pretty confident with the pic.
I do this for fun. Not professional. I admit to being a square, but it made me feel a little sharper when my limits were lowered this year. No thanks to Cris/Bookmaker route. I feel it would be easy to get money in but might be a challenge to get the money back in a timely manner. Hate taking foreign checks to the bank and feeling like a crook, waiting weeks for the check to clear, getting flagged by moneygram and western union, waiting weeks to get my money with endless excuses, etc.. No doubt these books are reputable but a major pain in my ass that I can avoid by traveling to Vegas. I just feel that the US Government has put the offshore business in a tough spot. The convenience and ease of betting at home has been offset with funding nightmares. Small wagers are still ok to make offshore, but wagers of this size...now way IMO. Besides living in the deep freeze the last two weeks here in the tundra, a little warm weather might do me good.
Don't expect too much warm weather. It's about 31 at night and 55 during the day. (I'm sure warmer than anyplace east) If you spread that bet around you will probably have moved the line by the time you get to the next place. They all tend to move together in this town unless you spread it in smaller chunks. I would suggest 3k in 4 different spots then put the last 8k in at LVH. Venetian is a Cantor book so factor that in. Good Luck
My truck this morning read the outside air temperature at minus 6 and the weatherman tonight on tv told me it was warmer in parts of Alaska. Bring on the 50's. Thanks for the info on the line movement. Would ideally like to get one line and never thought about that possibility, but it makes sense. I can move fast when I have to, but probably not that fast!
