WHAT ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT... WAKE UP

Don´t you guys see what he is doing, it was an amazing move... He played UNDER 8.5 when the line started dropping to 8 at some books. Now he goes and puts 50k on OVER 8 and is guaranteed 50K and prays that the final total is 8 which will give him a push at the bookie and a 100k win on wagerline. He is hedging, but can still walk away with 100k if they score 8 runs. Now you see it is a very good play?

those teories all go down to one question: DOES HE HAVE 50k FOR A HEDGE? if no, then he capped the game and really sees it to go under, if yes, hes doing what you saying... maybe we will know tomorrow

hahaha! If only he really did that. v ||lie.gif' border=0>

That is true, if he does have the 50k it was a smart move, if not he might be in trouble because I see this game having 8 or 9 runs.

A push in Vegas goes to the casino doesn't it? I am not familiar with hedging...

first of all you cant bet 50k in vegas unless your a whale meaning high roller . the most you can go is 10k.

and in most casinos 1k -2k

bazooka u clown, there are at least 10 well known casinos in vegas each of them will glad to take your 10K bet don't even think about offshore books

kshifrin, you tell me what casinos will take that kind of action other than march madness or the superbowl . ive only lived here 20 years and went to several well named casinos including bellagio to hedge a for 40k. noone would take bet. ill be waiting for your foolish response

Pushes in Vegas don't go to the casino. I hear Binions is the only place that a bet that large.

just ask the sportsbook manager in any casino, 5-10K not a problem for them

I correct myself...Binions will take any casino bet...not sportsbook.

TOTALS on MLB are capped at low limits!!!||paint_help.gif' border=0>

Vegas sportsbooks are scared of action, esp. on MLB totals, since they are lightly bet. Hedging his bet would require a visit to at least 25 different Vegas casinos.||an_light.gif' border=0>

whats to stop him putting down 10k in 5 diffent casios???

I know for a fact that most large casinos will take a 20K bet but it has to go through the book manager. I'm not sure about anything higher than that

wizard of oz said it all and correctly

Does anyone know why whales or high rollers use "runners"? its because what bazooka and wizardofoz is saying....they use the runners to place the action all over town because bets like this is low limit action You can place some larger action if you are more well known, and "graded" (casinos track you w/l) and they see the action in their favor to keep taking your money. Believe it or not, casinos CAP some players...

Yea.. casinos can do whatever the f they want. Personally I woulda taken a hockey -120ish fav on wagerline and hedged in vegas on the + side. Easier to place bigger bets on a hockey playoff game than some random baseball over/under. That said I doubt I'd actually follow through with a $50K hedge but would at least do $20K. Hopefully freight hedged some.
