hmm so they cut you and they mark all your bets to -140. So you could do the FFWAT folks good by betting opposite of what you like while we gobble up the good line at even? Then we share profits with you?

Hey, any of you guys ever get a marker at the MGM Grand in Vegas?

I ask because I just got approved for one, with a "No sports/race book usage" policy. I called and asked for a clarification, and was told that to use the marker limit, I would sign a marker and receive chips when I want to play at a table or a slot machine for X amount. But, these chips are strictly prohibited from being cashed out to clear the marker, so as to prevent from use anywhere besides a table game or slot machine.

Is this for real/any way around it? I was thinking, sign marker at a Blackjack table, go right to cage and cash out (settle later if I needed to) and use cash at the race/sports book all day. Apparently, if you try to settle the chips like I just mentioned, they cancel the markers, and won't give you cash for sports/race book/anything else unless you're up...and you get the net.

relating these to bodog saves props.Ryan Miller (BUF) 30

James Reimer (TOR) 29.5

Michal Neuvirth (WAS) 29.5

Marc-Andre Fleury (PIT) 26.5

Frederik Andersen (ANA) 26.5

Of those looks like Fleury U might be a play? Maybe Miller O?

Mainly because the lines were so far off, I played

Miller U30 (SOG prop was at 28.5 when I bet it)

Reimer U29.5 (SOG prop was at 27.5 when I bet it)

Neuvirth O29.5

In general, the Bovada save lines are sharper than the SB SOG lines but I never saw SOG set 2 full shots lower than the save prop like this.

I have Miller projected for 29 saves (on 32 shots, might have said wrong # earlier), Reimer with 28 (on 30 shots), and Neuvirth with 31.5 (on 35 shots). In general, I play smaller edges on save props than I do for SOG props. None of these are great but I like Neuvirth the best of the bunch.

Sabres and Leafs are both playing B2B and 3 in 4 so I'm expecting some dead legs on both sides which I think probably keeps the shots down. Both are terrible at generating shots but also horrible at preventing shots so it's hard to know what to expect in this game.

Caps are playing B2B and 3in4 as well plus they give up a boatload of shots typically. Pens should have a shooting gallery on Neuvirth so just need him to keep enough out to keep the game in reach I think.

Is Fleury at 26.5? I had the line set at 25.5 so it was a no play for me but I have him projected with 26 saves so not sure I'd play it there either. EDIT: Actually had an error in my spreadsheet. I have him projected for 24 saves so he'd definitely be a play for me at U26.5.

EDIT again: I see Fleury U26.5 (EV) now. I played it. Someone must have hammered the other side as these don't usually move that much.

It wasn't hard to get one. Every casino has an application that you can fill out on their respective websites. I filled the MGM one out, and was contacted by a credit manager. They initiate a three-way call with them, yourself, and your bank(s) to confirm that you have the funds to back up your marker limit request (and specifically make sure your bank accounts have been in place for over one year, they must have said that 10x, must've gotten burned on this in the past). They check your credit history, and let you know if they're going to extend you credit. I was approved for my request, which is great since I didn't want to deal with ATM machines all weekend.

Now I'm being told they're basically going to do everything in their power to make sure I don't use the marker I was approved for outside of a table game or slot machine, which is making me furious since I want to basically set up shop at the sportsbook all weekend and not worry about ATM limits.

Pull out the max, lay that #### on black and collect. What could go wrong?

 
ugh, those that played the UFC plays, sorry but we just got robbed again. Every single site i have checked had Ortiz winning that fight, and it seems like the only people in the world who didn't were 2 of the 3 judges :bs:

 
Oh cool...my buddy just dropped a dragon hand on me in Standard Chinese poker

Edit: that's a natural 13 card straight

P.s. Anyone else have that app?

I have a crush on one (1) girl at my school. My last two classes for the week were today and I still had not seen or spoken to her since the break. I was starting to think she graduated. But she walked into my last class right before the doors closed tonight. And by the end of class we were in the same group. I went from thinking I may never see her again to group work with her every week for the next 14 weeks.

 
If Vegas was ever on the phone with my bank I would be screwed. The old lady that works there already has it out for me. She is way too old-fashioned and she runs everything there.

 
I'm gonna atch the Mavs game and take the best line at the half - comparing where the line closes before tip off. Cheers brohans.

Don't like a whole lot in the UFC tonight but card starts early (4 or 5 real time, not that west coast b.s.). Right now I got light plays

Dillashaw -280 1 unit

Ortiz +2-something (played last night and I'm on my phone) .5 unit

Tavares +180 ,5 unit

:bs: 2-1, and still not happy because we got robbed with that Ortiz decision. Really should have been a clean sweep here

 
7-1 on hockey props in here so far (well at least before the line moves at SB)

:hifive: ?
