hedge thought -- where can you even get 50k action in Vegas?

I think you would have to go to almost every book in vegas and wager 1k - 3k at each book to get 50k down on the other side. ||sleep2.gif' border=0>

I can guarantee the Wynn would take it... And if they wouldnt take the whole 50k I am sure they would take 25, and after that I am sure you could find 1-3 other sports books to lay the other 25K at.

you can bet big amounts at alot of places...... there are people who bet 100,000 + a game... how do you think Barkly lost Millions???????

Barkly lost millions...harilous!||an_shake.gif' border=0> I think a total stranger walking into a book even to lay 15k or so would get questioned by the man.

It is a lot easier to get heavier action down on a side than a total, and since it's the playoffs, it wouldn't be too difficult to get down decent action at several books.

Why would he bet 2/3 of what he would get after taxes? If he is Canadian he would be taxed for even more. $20,000 would be a little more reasonable.

I agree with basesloaded197. It is very difficult to wager a large bet without being questioned or rejected. In '04 I bet a dime on the Red Sox to win the World Series at the Imperial and had to go through two managers before it got approved. I doubt it very much if a larger wager would have been approved. By the way, the Imperial had the best odds for the Red Sox at 9 to 5. I went to 6 other casinos and all were at 7 to 5. Good luck Tuppy! I would definitely hedge what I could afford to.

As a Canadian i would pay no tax

no tax i'll drink to that!||an_cheers.gif' border=0>

all you need in vegas to put down 50k is 3 verifiable id's. drivers lic, major credit card, foid, bank statement, telephone bill etc, etc............. and of course, 50k. tuppy's got all of the above. just listen to his responses. hes not a jerk and hes been around the block a few times. good luck tuppy||an_cheers.gif' border=0>

That will be a first Tuppy--I know that after paying my income tax and getting taxed 15% on everything we buy in Canada about 50% of my income is going to taxes. I will have to win the $100,000 so that I finally get something tax free. Now I know why you didn't have a big toothy smile,you are probably like me and lost a couple of teeth playing hockey.Anyone gives you a hard time we can grab our old Sherwoods and tune them up.

Questioned?? What are they going to ask him? whay are you betting so much? He could answer "it is a fucking hedge!" 50,000 is nothing on a NBA playoff game.... especially at a high class Hotel!||jumpy.gif' border=0> ||an_shake.gif' border=0>

limits have gone way down since Alan Boston schooled their asses betting on college hoops. Read 'The Odds' by Chad Millman.||quiet.gif' border=0>||peace.gif' border=0>

Casino's in Vegas will take a walk in up to about 5K to 10K. Most limit there action at the desk. If you are known and have placed a few wagers and lost a few, they will take 15K ect. Most limit there action to even known bettors with the manager approval to around 30K. If you are a celeb and the house thinks they have a better shot than you at winning the wager, you can go behind the door and get upper limit action, but you have to be WELL known. This is no secret. There was a guy in the NFL forum last year saying he just saw a guy put 500K on a game at the Bellagio and even misspelled the name. lol All you need to do is lay action at several houses. No big deal.||Peace_5.gif' border=0>
