Lets put it this way
If you want to place a wager that is about to start but odds have been taken off the board.

the ticket writer has to get permission from the sports_Network Director 
Catch my drift.

not only a fact, but a regulation, set forth by the State of Nevada, and the Nevada Gaming Commission Control Board

You've used tomato cans three times before where I commented  Dementia setting in pops?

I'm guessing very,very few.
Stop guessing, stick to tomato cans gramps

Maybe things have changed but my first visit to Vegas, 1994? I was at the Flamingo sports book in the morning cashing my $10 3 team parlay winner from the night before. I was behind a gentleman that was taking for ever to cash his tickets. I was annoyed until I heard how much. It was over 70K. They specifically asked him if he wanted it in chips and he said yes. Just adding my 2 cents

There are collectable chips out there (obsolete) that state Sportsbook on them.but from years ago..All high value also so it was an option in the past.

Thank God a voice of reason. I was worried the guy who knows everything would shoot me down as a liar.

tomato cans....

to each his own (fabled) imagination...the Flamingo for a fact never paid (sportsbook winners) in chips in 1994. the NGCC regulation went into effect in 1988..your story has no merit, and is classified as a very mis-informed observer to a payout to a phantom winner other than yourself, grab a copy of GamingToday.com and educate yourself...enjoy your attention, that's all it is....attention, from the inexperienced...

Sports,the guy is a joke on knowing anything about casino chips..according to serious collectors sites..and the market for new buyers is not growing as the older guys die off.Kids with IPhones don't even get into coins..

Check out the CC+GTCC convention in June at the South Point or look at the website and also the chipboard if you have any chips or collect yourself..

Only chips I'm still holding are are rarer of rare ( 60's) and Playboys from the Palms that hold big value overseas..

yep Sports network you got me. I'm looking for attention. Just giving you actual facts that happened but I will bow to you because its obvious you don't seek attention. You are right it never happened, i was just trying to look cool by making that story up. God I was excited by my $60 win on my three team parlay, Or did i make that up as well. Right, the Flamingo didn't offer 3 teams parlays in the 90's. You are a true amazing poster. I cannot wait for more insightful information.

Here is an idea SN, pick up Michael Konik's book the smart money and read it. I realize he is only one of the most respected writers on gambling and you are an amazing cover's poster. So who do i believe? God this is a hard one. Let's see....something i witnessed in person and is written about in an actual account in a book by a well respected writer or some blow hard covers poster? Someone give me a line on this.

don't hold your breath,  and btw, what on earth are you now stating?"The Flamingo didn't offer 3 team parlays in tha 90's" what does that even remoteley have to do with this discussion?

it's now clear, you're a delusional troll, continuing to seek attention, who else on the planet would give a reply that ludicrous. I  am hanging up the phone, take your clown act to another circus. by which Iam sure you'll encounter 666. you both can compare notes, and exchange 'tomato cans' enjoy your stint, most likely will be your last....

I don't read fiction, and I surely don't read the bullshitt hat Michael Konik produces in reference to the gaming industry...get back on the grid, you appear to be distraught, and argumenative over absolutely nothing but the true facts as set forth by the NGCC ....based on your response you are now classified as a clown, deserving of no further response...as I have stated to others, simply" pick up the phone", is that to difficult for you to comprehend?" or does the little boy want to continue to seek attention? actually.....GFYS, you've become annoying with your ingnorance, go play somewhere else that can accomodate your nourishment for attention;;;IN OTHER WORDS; "it's the law azzwhole, is that to confusing for you to understand?

If you don't comprehend  the procedures of betting sports in Nevada, and actually strees yourself out about "how you're going to get all that winning money home" simply go to the Cashiers cage, and ask, that's what they're their for...not a Covers forum, that gives you opinions, and half truths, (some that are justifield, others that are beyond believe....and btw, that 10k figure is totally mis-concieved, and highly mis-understood, a player would actually have to 'snitch' on himself to comply, with this regulation as default...be creative, that's all I'm saying..the best to all, and to each his own...

You do have me confused with Tomato can guy but I understand that. It is a hard job you have posting on countless websites. We all know that guy, the one who just yells and screams his point because he has no real world knowledge. You know him too he is in your mirror each morning when you get up at 10. Please get out in the workforce and be a productive part of society. Oh the 3 team parlay thing is called sarcasm. You would probably understand sarcasm if you would get out a little and interact with people But I'm not here to give you advice, you seem to know it all. Peace brother.
