A couple of reasons...
First is the town itself (not related to gambling). I stayed at Venetian, as I have for the last several visits to LV. I always get a rental car. When you leave Venetian - you are instantly in meth central. And I have seen more of these neighborhoods in Vegas than in an average city. Admittedly, it is a totally limited experience - but I haven't seen the beauty in Vegas until you get far outside of Vegas. And the traffic.
Second- for gambling - for what I do - it is virtually impossible. I have to get the best line at the exact right time. This is close to impossible in Vegas. I was out for the SB, and just getting from sportsbook to sportsbook is a nightmare. Then getting inside - and try to make any bet of size - and you have "do you have a players card" followed by paperwork. Then when you collect (I didn't unfortunately on the SB), more of this. Wanna bet more than 1k on a big European soccer game? Some will take it, but most wont. They look at you like you have some fix information about a English Premier League game because you want to bet 5k.
Then throw in that you are always paying more than you should (-110). So logistics and limits make it not only annoying, but make it unprofitable long term for me.
I realize these are personal reasons. But since you asked - those are my reasons.
I understand. But in order to get a CG account - you have to turn over your SS number and your DL. I assumed from the discussions in the thread that that was not a preferred option.
And BTW - CG app sucks balls. It is downright terrible. Not saying that should stop you because you are right - you can bet from your house - but why cant they put out a decent app?
I did not get out "just in time". I got out like 3 years ahead of time. And anyone should have gotten out 3 years ahead of time - WSEX closing was a very slow burn.
I can read between the lines at your skepticism - but just read my past posts here. I never once said play at beted or oddsmaker or bovada or sportsbook. In fact, I have never recommended a book that closed. That might just be luck - and I am sure I am not immune to it because anything can happen - but you cant compare Beted to Pinnacle. You just cant.
And I have no idea what your last statement means.
Your going to need a bit more deductions than that to overcome the 10.5 g personal exemption or so it is this year,filing Single..Did you file 2014 yet? Think about what you are going to state as occupation on next year's return? And aware that low reported income affects your SS payments down the road (If still in existence whatever year you could 'retire'?)
Hope it's not a splash of cold water on the face but don't darn with the IRS.They are nicer nowadays.you pick how and when
Have a great ride into LV
