Somebody thinks little brother has a decent chance...


Oh yah...and I took $100 to a $10 craps table here last night and left 1.5 hours later with nearly $2100...guess who's paying off his car loan early?

As much as you are in Vegas, you should go ahead and buy a second home there.

Doesn't the points coming down mean that to much money is being put on the Sooners? Don't gamble enough to remember.

Backwards I think - doesn't putting a lot of money on Oklahoma State winning lower the spread because people think it's too good of a deal to pass up?

Yes, that is what that means.

I stopped betting sports (especially OU) after the UCLA debacle in '05. Blackjack, Craps and Pai Gow poker are all I play now...

Oooh, I love playing Pai Gow poker. :)


.. and nl hold 'em. The last time I was in Vegas, I paid for my trip that way.


I am trying very hard not to be extremely envious of you right now SSC cause I haven't been to Vegas in about 2 years

Congrats on the good run at the craps table. I always seem to hit those things when they're cold.

Yah...I'm gonna take another $100 tonight and see if I can somehow repeat...

Like I said earlier, about 75% of my winnings are going to pay off my car loan early...the rest (minus the $100) is going to Christmas shopping here for my hawt wife.


Oh...did I mention I'm coming back out here in Feb/March for Red Flag?

Sportsbooks 101: The sportsbooks want equal action so they can collect the vig, or the juice, that magical 10% of winners money. You lay $11 to win $10, on that scale. When you win, you only get 90% back. Meaning if you bet $110 you're only getting $100 back with your original $110. When you lose, you lose it all.

The spread moves toward the team who is getting more money. This action is to induce people to wager on the other side. OU opened -7.5. Tons of OSU money came in dropping it to -7 in hopes to induce OU action to even out the money being bet. Vegas and Offshore Books do not like money on just one side of the game, because if OSU covers then they lose big. They want OU backers to come in and drop some cash.

I would like to meet the one person in the world that loses in Vegas, for he is supporting the winnings of everyone else that goes there.

How Vegas stays in business I have no idea.

Update:
Went down earlier this afternoon and took them for an additional $195...just got done giving $95 of it back to them...

I'm done gaming for this trip. We're going to dinner at Le Cirque tonight before getting out of here early tomorrow to head back home...then drive down to my parents for Thanksgiving (my mother finally gets all her kids back together for the first time in two years...and we're not gonna be at each others' throats for a change).

I have never bet on OU in anything...There are more Cons than Pros...If OU loses, then as a fan, you lose twice as bad...Yah, OU is a safe bet and most of the time they will cover, but it is not worth the down side...

Any way we can put this with the upside down "hook-em" suggestion?

Update:

Here's at the Horseshoe in Bossier City, Louisiana, they've got the line at 7.5 and rising. Some guy in front of me at the sports book just cashed his entire paycheck to go attack the penny slots.

I put the over/under for teeth in his head at eight.

I am figuring it will be either 8 or 8.5 at kickoff

HOLY ****! Boomtown is off the hook!

I'm going to make my millions at the 3-card poker table just as soon as I get back down from the room, where I'll be making sweet luv to my hawt wife who was born in the same decade as me.

Funny I can't find ANY Coepoke fans willing to take the 7,they all want 14-21.Of course they will all say they knew oSu would win if the UNTHINKABLE happens.Then again they will crow if they stay within 10 points of OU.Like 12-7 in 2000.38-35 in 2004,27-21 in 2006.

If I were betting on this, I would actually take OSU +7.

But now I'm sitting at the airport...so I can't.

Oooh...and I actually got a 1941 nickel in change this morning...I looked at my hawt wife and said "Look hun, it's a piece of money that's even older than my parents!"

Originally, I thought I would take the points but decided that, if OSU stays within the spread, it'll likely go under. I doubt they could hold up in a shootout. I just got down at under 74. ;)
