What are the betting limits for college basketball totals?

In Vegas?

Depends on the sportsbook and your "reputation" also....

Could be a max of 1dime or a helluva lot more....

ON a total with CBB, most books take a dime, some might go to 2-3dimes, depending on their action; I have seen a lot more; but the bettor was known to the book and was not part of a larger betting operation....large bets are taken, in this town, many times as a convenience to the bettor because they want his business at the craps table or baccarat....

 

The limits are much higher than you can bring.

 

No, theyre definitely not, smartass. Especially if  what VegasGourmet said was right. I bet 5 times the limit he wrote.

on average, prolly 2 dimes

It depends on the book and your rep as VG said.

Be sure to have a players card at the casino and most likely your bet will need to be approved. If you intend to bet a great deal at the MGM or Bellagio, save yourself some time and just go to the Mirage, because MGM/Bellagio will call them for the approval. I made this mistake a few years ago on a 5k wager and it took me forever to get approved at the MGM.

Well, I have never been there before so I have no rep. You mean to tell me I cant even bet an NFL game for over 5k?

You can. The most I've ever wagered was roughly 15k. Just be sure to have a players card.

 Do you know which casino you want to place the wager at?

from what ive heard you need to talk to them and with that much money i think its all on your reputation. if you make your wagers a couple hours ahead of game time you can spread the wager out a little bit. i have heard of aria accepting huge wagers, way above whats being talked about in this thread, but thats nfl where theyll take more money 

Betting 15K is usually not an issue...but at an MGM property, it is approved by The Mirage, so betting there does make sense. You should seek out the manager on duty or even ask to speak to Jay if he is there and tell them ahead of time what you would like to bet. Have an MGM players card...the new Mlife card...be prepared to give them drivers license and ss card #...over 10dimes, it's the law....not for taxes; but money laundering...The more that you cooperate and are personable, the easier your bets will be taken...perhaps no change in juice for your bets....and, while the sportsbook cannot comp you directly, they can provide "backup info" for a host if you are looking for something...tickets to a show, dinners, etc....

I saw some guy put 75 DIMES on the Cowboys a few years ago.   It won.  

Call a casino and speak to a host in casino marketing.

I havent seen anyone on this thread in the CBB thread, but ignorance is abound with regards to CBB total betting.  ANd Im not talking about just Vegas but buddy I dont look at offshore lines when I pick games I look at the Vegas books only the Hillton is putting up totals and they dont havge them up until an hour before tip.  If you walked in at 830 am yesterday and wanted to bet the total of a night game youd have to wait a few hours.

 

VG has covered how to place bets over the stated limit. 

 

MGM does not put up CBB totals for games not on TV. I cant bet O/U's with either my local or on bookmaker which used to have everything and be the first up. 

 

A picking service cleaned thier clocks on o/us last year and noone will take them.  Very easy thing to be profitable at if you have patience to wait for the right games.  Last year they couldnt drop the number below 115 ever and you were able to clean up on games that were always going to be in the 40s with both teams taking a full 35 a possesion.

Your gonna have to go to the Hilton.

 

If you have a players card that shows taht you are not profitable and are guaranteed to give back whatever you win they will take almost any bet, obviously over an amount the ticket writers get approval and it may take a few minutes.

 

I dont respect O/U plays anymore causeyou cant get tehm down.  When I see an idiot posting up a 

under 123 for 3 unites on matchbook

you know its some nicke and dimer betting small amounts.

ITs like you matchbook clowns always get the numbers you want you always get the game at -3 and not 3.5 or 4 and can bet on random first half totals most places can't take.  Anyone who can bet things like this shouldnt be taken seriously.

 

NOONE TAKES CBB TOTALS ACTION THESE DAYS!

WestHam...seeing more totals lately...Books have to prepare for next month and need to gauge some of the response...still not 100%...Cbb has the worst info out there, books are very cautious....

2k at venetian on hoops

Any thoughts on limits for NBA finals?  Also, vegasgor\urmet - did you say that you DO NOT get comped for play in the sportsbook?

Jelax....Some local sportsbooks will comp a very small amount for sports bets so that they can get the locals to play their slot machines.....It's not enough to even care about....

As I have said in multiple threads....If you just recognize that you will receive nothing but a bottle of beer for your sports bet, pretty much regardless of amount, then you will not be disappointed. Every sportsbook in this town..with one exception..is run as a convenience to their customers who gamble in the casino.

The sportsbooks lost some money on the superbowl..and their casinos took that money from the Packer Backers later at night....It all works out for Vegas.

PS: That "exception" I mentioned?.....Cantor Gaming.

Thanks for the insight.
