Betting at the sport book is a time consuming job if you are serious. The real pro's do not go around bragging about their wins. As one person said the sure bet on a horse race is when the horse tells you it is going to WIN!. One other ironic thing about Nevada they have no race tracks horse betting is done on tracks in other states so the media should focus on that not where the betting takes place in a state which it is legal to do so. I just find it ironic how a media decides to do a story about gambling they run to Nevada to exploit it and make it look like all of us living here have horns and tails and a pitch fork Same is true for the other vices like LV has more hookers than Washington DC From my own experience before I moved here the area in NYS I was from the people asked me some stupid questions about what my life style would be in LV. I tried to explain they were incorrect about their information but they argued they saw shows and news information on TV and they were correct even though they had never been to LV. SO! the power of the Media influences many gullible people that is why more people buy the National Enquirer each week than any other published newspaper in America

More ridiculousness. Watched the latest episode and they show the board with the games they supposedly bet. Anyone who has bet in a casino knows when there are no betting numbers next to the game it means the game has started and no more betting is allowed. Well twice in this show the players go up and bet on the game and the cashier supposedly sells them a ticket! This show is so full of staging its incredible.

I am amazed at the amount of people who visit here and claim to know how to bet or gamble. When they get to the sports book they look like a deer in the headlights lol and playing poker or table games they think they are back in the kitchen on Friday night at home playing. They do not understand slot machines or how they pay off so it is one big magic show for them lol and the size of the casinos overwhelms them along with the bright lights. Marketing makes it look so easy to visit LV and win money and we do know the difference !!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree but I like the show anyway, mainly because they seem to go to some off-strip places to watch the games and it gives me a chance to see places in Vegas I haven't seen (I don't live there, but I have two friends who do).
Also, Paula is hot.
