    seems like $3K really shouldn't raise any eyebrows...

    Thanks to San for breaking me even minus juice.
    No, thank you.

    It seemed too good to be true so I needed you to agree. I might have passed otherwise. It felt so weirdly like a gift. Thus, the guilt.

    Nobody is putting their body in front of a 90mph puck during an exhibition game.

    First, I don’t do business with the big box chain stores. I play with the independents. Westgate, SoutPoint, Circa etc.

    Fuck Will Hill on principle.

    What I know personally is that KYC is a thing that is drilled daily. It’s a part of the culture and frankly probably just good business to befriend (know) your customers.

    The independents have more to lose cause it’s their money. The public houses like Caesars are just inept and who the fuck knows.

    4BET was probably a victim of an overzealous employee fresh outta the daily meeting.

    Facial recognition is gonna solve all of this real soon.

    Also, I’m sure Harrahs sucks

He says yes, So I ask what is it? He says show your ID first, I say you cant tell me the betting limit? He says no,LOL, I tell him to get bent I will take my action elsewhere, So I walk away saying a few choice words on my way out, Mind you this whole time they were acting like I was trying to rob the place, As I stood there with a small stack on 100's just wanting to make a bet
    are you sure you weren't at a property that was owned by caesars entertainment...that sounds like some dipshit stuff that they would do...

    and not that $3K is a small bet by any means, but if you are sweating that kinda action as a book you might want to close up shop...
    Yes 3k is a good size bet for me also but give me a break 3k to a casino sports book should be peanuts

    It’s all KYC but not finance - it’s risk. To your point they don’t do this shit in the pits.

    Thanks for this. I heard it was hit or miss depending on where you go. I thought I remembered someone saying there was an Italian/Venetian themed place that was the place to be?

    And that shit wasn’t reverse racism. Don King and Spike Lee could have walked in there and tried to place the same $3K bet and they would have asked as well. It’s not so much about this 3k bet, it’s the 6th one after you go 5-0 they worried about. It’s the new normal.

    If I find out any of you give action to a local book like this I’ll drive to your house and let OSA give you a good ass pounding.

    Ahhh the wonderful world of being a shady bookie.

    Total result of 126: the outfit keeps all money wagered.

    But the kicker is they are not even paying for this freebie: assuming equal action, this outfit will make ~13% on all bets (and they don't have to worry about sharps either with their 15 cent lines).

    “The house” has only lost money on 5 Super Bowls. I wouldn’t have guessed it was 1979 that was #1 (in % terms) but reading on some of the promotions they were running and line movement it made sense.

    Two years after the movie “Black Sunday” hit theaters in 1977, another Super Bowl disaster played out in Las Vegas, where books were buried by bettors who middled the Cowboys-Steelers showdown.

    Pittsburgh opened as a 2½-point favorite over Dallas, and the line closed at 4½. It landed on 4, and virtually every bettor who had action on it won.

    “That game was the biggest losing Sunday for the Super Bowl that ever was,” South Point oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro told the Review-Journal in 2017. “That was the first big loss I took as a young aspiring bookmaker with black hair who could stay out late at night. Those days are gone.”

    Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, the inspiration for Robert DeNiro’s character in the movie “Casino,” ran a promotion at the Stardust offering bettors the chance to lay 3½ points with the Steelers and take 4½ points with the Cowboys. When it was over, the line of bettors cashing tickets reportedly stretched from the Stardust to down the Strip.

    After Dallas tight end Jackie Smith dropped a sure touchdown catch in the third quarter, Pittsburgh scored two TDs in 19 seconds in the fourth to go ahead 35-17.

    But Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach threw two TD passes in the final 2:27 for the backdoor middle. After his 7-yard strike to Billy Joe DuPree cut the deficit to 35-24, Dallas recovered an onside kick. Staubach then hit Butch Johnson for a 4-yard TD with 22 seconds left, and bettors everywhere rejoiced.
