From your own experiences in Vegas, what are your favorite books and why? Have you ever experienced books trying to limit your action yet?

Quote Originally Posted by desertspade: Hey Sean, don't pay any mind to the haters. I did the same thing at the beginning of December. I doubled my bank with NFL betting paired with a Falcons futures bet that I hedged for the Super Bowl. A few people had their nuhtsax in their mouths with that. I did end up losing some of it back during NBA season but still came out ahead by a good bit. Honestly though, many people will say it and it's true, Vegas is a real crap town. The Strip is very expensive and there are usually pretty annoying tourists, a lot of women are gold diggers straight up, there is a good bit of poverty and crime, void of much culture, no ocean, there are a lot of @$$holes etc. etc. The best part of Vegas, in my opinion, is convenience. You can go out to a bar and meet someone from any corner of the world at any given moment, there is top grade food, it's pretty much a 24/7 town blah, blah, blah. My advice to you is the following: -I would go a bit lower on your unit size. $660 would still be aggressive but not overwhelmingly huge for a 20k bank. -Bet selectively. By that I mean the 4-5 games that you really have a good lean on out of the week. Quality is better than quantity in the long run. -Don't move to Vegas at all. Move somewhere offshore where you can open several accounts at reputable online books where both the odds and the juice will be better/bigger limits. You'll still have to pay taxes due to foreign account tax compliance but you'll rake in much more over the long haul. I'm currently in the process of moving abroad for that last reason. There are other perks with that too-- cheap cost of living, better weather, better women, less stress. I know you are in school, and I don't discourage you from that (unless you are taking out substantial loans to do so which that doesn't sound like the case) but I'm telling you... the odds in Vegas are highway robbery and what's even worse is that they seemingly want to track every move you make if you are a successful bettor. It's an industry that is very biased towards the casinos in basically every way in Vegas. Maybe if you are trying to break into the industry LV is the place for you though. I dunno. I just see it as investment ultimately. Anyhow, I wish you luck all the same. Keep your wits about you and don't go overboard with the distractions. Thanks for taking out time to reply man.... Literally everyone online saying vegas is a crap town is quite discouraging haha... As for my decision to move to Sin City is pretty much a lock. House is nearly purchased, gonna be signing up for courses at UNLV so there really is no turning back now. Luckily 90% of my family live in LA so I could visit anytime I want. Just like you, I view sports betting as investing. This is my version of stock trading, and I truly feel like I can do this in the long term ( even though it doesn't appear like it). But unlike most people, I am fortunate to have a support system that take away the pressure of having to pay bills at the end of the month.(they're paying for school too). Honestly couldn't do any of this without the help of my parents and I am forever grateful they're in my life. Even though I've only been betting officially for 1 year, Ive tracked my betting picks for three years now and I've still finished year at a profitable rate. If I didn't think I would do this, trust me. I would've already spent that 20K on something else. If I don't pursue this, I'll forever question it to the day I die. Better to try and fail when Im 21 and single , then to fail in my mid 30s when I have wife and kids to support
