Baylor is getting a QB/DT. Would love to see a QB play both ways esp. at DT. I think it means dual threat (as ESPN has devolved into putting pocket passer or dual threat) but I

Only problem with LVH is its off the strip and fairly far if I remember correctly. It sits on a nice golf course but you'll have to make a day out of visiting it although I've heard only read good reviews.I've heard the Las Vegas Hilton book has the biggest selection of props.

I looked for props and they aren't nearly as widely available as online books.
I did read an article about a book trying to break into the prop market as well as live betting. I think it's a live casino but run like an online book...they have software in the casino that you access with a machine as they don't have room to post 500 props on a football Sunday

You go into a casino every single day and extract their money, they are going to notice. Or they are not doing their job.If you hit big enough to fill out the tax forms, sure. But otherwise...

Ahhh, I found our disconnect.Ideally, you don't want to go to the same place every night. Which is why I was wondering how many places have what we're looking for.You go into a casino every single day and extract their money, they are going to notice. Or they are not doing their job.

The Monorail goes right to the Hilton now. You can get on/off at the Flamingo, Bally's/Paris or MGM. Pretty easy. I stayed at the Hilton my last trip there and it was no problem at all getting to the Strip.Only problem with LVH is its off the strip and fairly far if I remember correctly.

First time I went to Vegas many years ago, I tried to go into every casino. Literally. Every one. I just wanted to get the vibe from each one for a few minutes. After the first day, I made it to about 50 of them. I have never been so tired. The next night was the Adult Video Expo, which just happened to be in town that week.

Anyway, if y'all are looking for the best combination of relaxed atmosphere, elegant surroundings and sexy cocktail waitress uniforms, might I suggest Bellagio.

The prop options in Vegas suck, IMO.
Be there in a week though.

Did the same thing my first trip there ... walked up and down the Strip and gambled at least $1 in every one we passed. I think we made it from NY/NY up to Stratosphere and back down to MGM. At least it was only about 104 degrees that day.First time I went to Vegas many years ago, I tried to go into every casino. Literally. Every one.

I'm sorry to hear that.I'll bet these places don't realize the spike in
business they would have if they listed every SB prop.

I was at Cosmo last month and tried to get down on some gr props but the only ones on the board were really jacked up in price already. I thought because it was Cantor gaming that it might be different than a lot of the sports books, but no. I remember reading some article about how Cantor was going to be cutting edge on live betting / props, etc. but I didn't see it. Cosmo is a small book though (satellite office I guess) so maybe they only offer a limited amount of ####. Speculating here, someone else will know...Ahhh, I found our disconnect.Ideally, you don't want to go to the same place every night.

I'd be dead in a year if I lived in Vegas.
The only time I have seen a bunch of props is for the SB. Imperial Palace had a huge whiteboard and some old guy would just walk around and adjust the lines. 2001 Super Bowl the Pats beat the Rams they had a "rams score a TD or Punt" prop that was +185 for punt. I put $300 on that prop and that was back when betting $300 was a lot for me.

Wow - same story. We started at the Paris and decided to WALK to the Mgm at dusk in the middle of July. My pals got smart and called it the night early. Me and one other guy crossed the street to NYNY, follow some who-ha's over to mandalay bay and then waked all the way down to Caesars and then crossed the street and walked back to Paris. On the way in at 6:30 AM my pal stopped at the desk and bought us a cabana by the pool and we went back up and woke up all our pals and I slept by the pool.

Back in the olden days when I was a more active participant in the first iteration of the wagering thread, we used to have some sort of Bowl Game Rules that would appear in the thread. I can't recall what they stated about teams with interim coaches taking over for a coach who left for another team, but am wondering if there is ANY value in taking Minnesota ML today? Is Texas Tech really 13 points better than Minnesota?

RB has their lines up (thank you Kurt!) so i made plays on most of these. Halloway isn't up yet, and i didn't play Johnson yet hoping his line comes down. the current line is -220 nor something which is too much right to play that with. I added playing Dos Santos, and Perez, and for those who like to bet on guy's who look like they could kill a small army, feel free to take Todd Duffee. Line is too high for my likingi think so too. J-Lau is a strange one though, he has looked good in spots. But Jim Miller is coming off his loss to Nate Diaz and should have a big chip on his shoulder. Only concern is J-Lau has funky BJJ, but he was only ever sub'd by Diaz, so he should avoid getting stopped. lot of rambling here, sorry about that, but yeah, Miller at anything around -200 should be gold.it's a tough betting card, lot of close fights. i know bloody elbow hasn't mentioned any picks yet so i can't copy from them (), but i'm leaning Belcher, Boetsch, Leban, Halloway, Johnson and Wineland for now. haven't looked too much into the card yet, but if the odds are close to even with those guys i like them.
FWIW, stayed at the LVH (former Hilton, and biggest sportsbook) and the only detailed props they had were for the SNF and MNF games. IIRC, they did have team totals for the bigger games
It's abosolutely no frills, but is the best place to gamble on sports IMO. In addition to the huge sportsbook, they also set up their theatre for NFL games (and I assume they do this for march madness), where they have every game on a huge screen plus mobile betting windows and $2 draft. Also, they have a smaller side room (seats about 30) with comfy chairs and is no smoking. we watched the college games there on Saturday all day and it was great.Only problem with LVH is its off the strip and fairly far if I remember correctly.

Yes, they do set up the theatre for March Madness. It was great. I enjoyed being on the sportsbook floor on Day 1, but after a while I couldn't take the cigarette smoke any more.It's abosolutely no frills, but is the best place to gamble on sports IMO.

Any thoughts on the Independence Bowl? UML -7 and O/U 60.
Having seen Ohio in person, I'm still not sure what to make of them with all of the injuries they have had. Leaning the over ... hate playing games right on the 7.

Ended up taking Ohio +7 and the over 60. I just think Tettleton finally is getting healthy after being banged up most of the season, and Blankenship is a tough runner.
Good luck, all!

Was going to bet Ohio with the points but then did some reading and talked myself out of it and took ULM instead. Oof.
