Vegas odds suck

ctc in ftmyers : 7/24/2016 7:09 pm
for the Giants to win the Super Bowl.

12/13 to 1 is the norm. One place is 18 to 1.

Buddy of mine just called me up from there because I gave him a C note to throw on them.

Apparently they think we have a chance.

Just imagine if

Really? Nobody in Vegas has that. Got the call less than an hour ago.

He is staying with his body who lives there.

Those don't suck, those are great if you lay a Hunski on it

I go to Vegas the end of August for a work event  
pjcas18 : 7/24/2016 7:35 pm : link
every year I always put $100 on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl.

Only because I hate them so much if they win it would soften the blow.

2014 (season) they were 8 to 1 when I bet it, so I'm around even.

at those odds I may bet the Giants too.
2006.....

I placed $20 on the GMen at 35-1. Despite how shity on paper, and how pre-season and the first half was, they got it going and were road warriors till the end. Thank you Giants! Anything can happen!

"his body in Vegas" better. With the gals there and all..
I'd put $100 down at 25-1 to make super bowl  
SGMen : 7/25/2016 3:34 am : link
This team has as good of a chance as any in the NFC to make the superbowl. I don't like to gamble because when I did in the past I generally lost. But $100 at 25-1 just for fun I'd do if I was in Vegas.
Heading to Vegas today and  
Jimmy Googs : 7/25/2016 8:03 am : link
will let you know the best odds I find.
who else to throw some money away besides the Giants?  
I Love Clams Casino : 7/25/2016 8:21 am : link
Maybe Vikings?

Bengals?

Odds probably suck for those guys...but what about a dark horse?

Bears?

Jaguars? THAT would be a nice payoff, the Jags....Honestly, I don't know very much about them except to say that their defense should be exponentially better than it was last year.....
In 2007...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/25/2016 8:54 am : link
I put $20 on them at 30-1. Paid for the plane trip back to collect! But I was also going to Vegas for work about 4 times a year, and I think you have 12 months to collects on winnings, so I just waited until; I was out there the April afterwards.

So take the bet  
Giants2012 : 7/25/2016 9:06 am : link
Who wants good odds if you believe in a team. Honestly, with that DL the Jets bet isn't too bad if Fitz comes back.

I mailed mine certified and insured mail and they sent me a check. Cost me like $50 to send and insure it, but for $800 it was worth it, I just didn't want to wait, so you know, in case you didn't, I think all the casinos will do that - my bet was at the Venetian.
Yeah..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/25/2016 9:11 am : link
I could've sent the ticket in, but figured since I was going to Vegas so often that I'd just turn it in then. The Hilton has been a lucky sportsbook for me. Think it is called the Westgate now, but the sports book is still one of the best in Vegas.

I'll be at the Venetian the end of August (great time to go to Vegas) /sarcasm (for work). You know Vegas, so you know the Palazzo is connected to the Venetian and in the basement of the Palazzo is Emeril Lagasse stadium, it's a small sports book with tons of TV's and great food. and never very crowded. Last August I was there for a Mets Rockies series and bet all three games and watched them there and won all three, and then I bet the Mets to win the NL before leaving (and the WS which I obviously lost). But I made out really well for the trip.

This year I'm betting the Patriots to win the SB, maybe the Giants if those odds don't change, and some baseball games.

My favorite sports book is Caesar's if I'm watching football, but otherwise Lagasse Stadium is great.



I've never been to Lagasse's Stadium..

even though everyone raves about it. I keep saying I'll go and then between work and poker, I just never find the time. Mainly because I usually am staying at Paris or Planet Hollywood, but I play a lot of poker at the Venetian, so it is convenient.

This was the fist year I wasn't out there for the WSOP in June or July and I probably won't be back to Vegas until January.

My standby's for sportsbooks are the Venetian, Westgate, Mandalay Bay and Caesar's. Was out in Vegas in April and Caesar's has been completely redone where the sportsbook and poker room were. I didn't like it as much.
Well the big rave  
pjcas18 : 7/25/2016 9:39 am : link
is it's less crowded, close to the TV's and a lot of them, and the menu is great.

and my work events are always at the Venetian. So it's convenient.

I'm not sure if you weren't in the Venetian already it would be worth it. but since you're there might as well try it out.

that's too bad about Caesar's I used to get there really early for some bloody mary's on Sundays if if I was out there during football season (my mother lives there).

MGM sports book was good too.
Don't diss Caesars...they're my client!  
Jimmy Googs : 7/25/2016 10:18 am : link
Seriously, I don't favor their Sports Book either versus some others, but we just added a nice new Cigar Bar so hanging in there with plenty of sports on is not a bad option. And the sports book is just down the hall if need to walk back to place a bet.

Lagasse's is nice but I have typically found you need a reservation if anything big is on sport-wise.

never been to Lagasse's on a weekend. Only weeknights, so that makes sense.

And got 35-1 at Caesar's, which was the best I found on the strip. It was 45-1 the week before. I bet $100 on the Giants to win the super bowl

From the outside looking in,


Rookie Head coach

Injuries have killed the Giants, does Macadoo's regime fix this ?

Giants signed free agents to fix the defensive roster, which rarely works historically.

Spags - will we get Spags of 07 now that he has pass rusherS ( in theory ?)

Right side of line is suspect

There is no proven #2 receiver on the Giants

Cruz likelihood of being Cruz of old ? or even 75% of that ?

Too many new faces

in the organization top to bottom. Another long year even with all the good additions. That sucks but that how I see it.
All depends  
OC2.0 : 7/25/2016 7:16 pm : link
When you place the bet. I got 30-1 for SB & 20-1 for NFC in Reno. I always do it. Made out huge the last 2 SB's.
