2016 Vegas odds re-visited

Vig = pay up front just for betting

$7.00 = bottle of water

soon we'll be paying $2.00 for a damn napkin on the strip

I'll blow this ****ing place up one day

You only pay the squeeze (juice) on losses. I dont pay my bookie till my wager is final. Nothing is paid upfront persay.

Let me explain it so hopefully everyone can understand it.

The vig isn't the odds at all. It actually represents how the public is betting and nothing more.

If a vig raises up to say +150 that means all the money is going the other way. So what does Vegas do? They lower the odds which is the win or point total.

The book is chasing the money looking for even bets so they can collect their vig. If you see a line that says +155 -115. That simply means that the publics money is one sided and they will keep changing it until they get equal bets coming in from both sides.


If you know anything about gambling then you should know how it actually works before you try to look smart trollers.

Odds aren't odds

Starting an LLC means never paying taxes.

Manilow is gay.


I'm pretty sure one of these is true, and I think i knew it was true 30 years ago.

I learned a couple things too. You don't know s**t about gambling or an LLC. You can go ahead and pat yourself on the back about Manilow though. Good job, nice call.

I mean this is just getting silly. He is a "seasoned gambler" and we are "rookie trolls," yet he is completely wrong. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and dropping it. The fact that he is continually going on when everyone who has read this thread knows he is 100% incorrect is just funny to me.

Mods should just lock this.

If you want to seriously gamble go to Laughlin. For play that will barley get you free drinks in Vegas, you end up with free flowing booze, steak, crab and lobster dinners comped, and higher end free rooms. The only drawback for a single young guy is the age of the women. There aren't any 20 something super models running in packs in Laughlin Nevada. I never cared about that, if I am in a serious card game, betting horses or dropping $500 on an NFL game the opposite sex does not exist.

This thread isn't about moneylines you goof. Its about totals betting. Like I said you don't know what you are talking about.

I use a bookie and place bets through a website. Its very standard.

Is there any place where you can parlay win totals? I haven't found one.

No, I wish. That would be nice.

Never said it was but it's been part of the conversation.

No one really knows what this thread is about. Your thread title talks about odds but you don't give the odds.

Then when someone posted the money line odds you said they were not the odds.

lol
