THIS WEEK'S ARTICLE IN GAMING TODAY

Cantor Gaming.....The M, The Venetian, and The Pallazzo accounts for 15% of all of Nevada's sports betting revenue.

As much as I like Cantor, even that one is hard to believe.

I wasnt buying that one either

I am not too sure about those numbers either?

Could be because of the size of the bets they take that no one else will. You hear that The M is running a pick the pro's where the buy in is $100,000 a man?

VG - There's a ton of people that give you props on this site. I'd agree that you do provide good info on a lot of different topics. I just gotta know man, what's the deal? Are you just a Vegas resident and pretty well connected to the gaming/hospitality scene, who happens to also enjoy the covers forum and giving info?

I guess my question is "Who are you?"

I'll be out there in a week. Might wanna chat with you on a couple different topics.

BC.....I'm just a guy, in the industry, who enjoys this town and the people that try their best to earn a living.

The gaming industry has tons of rumors..and minimal facts; It's run, for the most part, by people who have been here for eons and are very protective of what they know. The last people in this town that I would try to be an "insider" with are those people.

So, to answer your question....I look at things as an outsider, am objective and honest with what I say...that way you are not getting some BS from someone who has an "agenda".

I'd be happy to " chat about topics"....why not ask me in the open so all can be part of it?...If not, that's cool...just come out and enjoy what LV offers.

I believe it...anytime you're making an effort to be first in the world to open the line you're gonna get a lot of action...they had their college lines out at 3:30 on sunday last week.  I've been very vocal about vegas being box's over the years about just following the offshores but the M and the wynn are starting to get their lines up real early

Maxx...

As I have mentioned here before....Cantor Gaming, which is The M sportsbook (as well as The Venetian and Pallazzo ingame and will run The Trop, Hard Rock, and..probably...Cosmopolitan) purchased LVSC, Las Vegas Sports Consultants BEFORE The M hotel even opened.

The "sendout" is controlled by them...a brilliant move. They, obviously, can and will do whatever it takes to be the dominant force in sports gambling in Nevada.

VegasGourmet- did you ever bet at the Gold Coast? I worked in the Sports Book there for almost 5 years. As per the topic at hand- I can say that it is quite possibly true. MGM, Harrah's, Stations and Boyd properties are afraid to take a bet. It would be real interesting to see the % of revenue from the South Point/Palms/Cannery/Rampart group.
