    Do they take Teasers?

    Do they take Moneyline parlays?

    Do they take multi-sport parlays? (NCAFF + NFL)

    Do they take mix parlays?(Spread + Moneyline)


    Going to visit a buddy who lives across the street from Red Rock Casino, wanted to place some bets, but i know online sites have a more wide array of options for betting than vegas does. Any help, answers, or feedback would be great, thanks.

    They take all of those. Do you know why? Because your vig is even bigger to overcome than the straight bet 10%. Only bet straight if you want to win in the long run. Sorry. You asked for help as well as answers.

    You realize Vegas invented all of those forms of wagering, right? Online books copied Vegas books... not vice versa!

    Wiz, Those home money lines could cost more than 70% in money if you bet blind. Also, money lines always not available for double digit favs.
    I am like Knish in Rounders. Grind out 55% in long run.
    Gabe, I'm on Md, but prob Over USC.
    GL to us all.

    Appreciate it guys....I mean im not rookie, been betting for awhile, College basketball is my thing

    never been to vegas to lay down bets before, so i didnt want to go looking like a total fool 

    @Wiz thanks for that heads up. was going to look at buying the hook for NotreDame but I guess i will just parlay it. Something about those hooks that get me, but online and local you can buy the half point. 

    Right now my betting notes look like this

    NotreDame -3 (Buy the hook, its listed at -3.5, but see if you can buy the half point. If you cannot get -3 just play ML)

    -ND QB last took ND undefeated and to National Championship. He has the skills and poise and love the way he commanded that offense last week. Mich showed good signs but also offensive struggle when trying to spread the ball to open up the defensive zones as opposed to man defense. ND likes to play MLB zone and do not think MICH has the capabilities to throw consistently down the numbers and hit their WR's. Could see ND DEF create pressure and force atleast 2 turnovers which will be the key

    Pittsburgh Steelers ML

    -Browns sucks 

     

    Teaser (4Points) or (6Points) **whichever they have, 1st preference is 4pts

    Kentucky -13 (-9) (--7)

    USC/STAN Under 55 (59) (61)

    Jets/Oak Over 40 (36) (34)

    Car/TB Under 39.5 (43.5) (45.5)

    Jets -5.5 (-1.5) (+.5)

    Pittsburgh Steelers -7 (-3) (-1)

    Maryland -12.5

    -USF defense cannot hold up, can see Maryland outscoring USF by a touchdown each half

    USC/STAN Under 55

    -both teams playing to come out the PAc-12 and play in that final 4 spot. usually teams facing off this early with this implications tend to play a tight game. usually those tight games are in the mid 20's or lower in total team points. with the above average skill players and defense, i think it will be like a 23-20 game,

    NotreDame -3 (Buy the hook, its listed at -3.5, but see if you can buy the half point. If you cannot get -3 just play ML)

    -See Above

    Pittsburgh Steelers ML-

    -Browns sucks
