Oh and I would really be here in this sunshine living in nice apartment then anywhere in the country. Regardless if I was betting or not. Obviously that's the main reason I'm here but I love the other aspects of being here too

Like others have said, you'll love it now but those summer months are gonna be rough. Living in Tempe was the same way. 7-8 months of the year it's absolutely perfect. Those other 4 months are no joke though.

BOL Man! Rooting for you.

Have you seen any ncaa or nba player props out there? Curious if vegas casino's offer them or if you plan to pick those too.

Ok good to hear. And like these other guys are saying you might as well start preparing for the heat so you can take it on when the time comes.

Thought 'braska might pull out the unlikely cover there late. Great start in Vegas. I'll be tailing the entire way through

I was on Kentucky and Wisconsin. Nice call on LSU…but yeah, Nebraska was lucky to even keep it competitive. Keep the videos man, they are entertaining and keep everyone connected. I'm on Nuggets late (not looking good) and pondering a 2nd half play there. Get that money buddy.

You are doing it.

95% of the guys out there talk the game, and never pull the trigger. You pulled it. Lots of respect for that.

Whatever you do CG, don't go tout if you get on an amazing hot streak. Touts are scum

Ucla Bruins -8.5 (-110) $550/$500. Bruins are 11-1 at home and I feel Oregon State has overachieved a lot this season and will get blown out tonight by an angry Bruins ballclub after Saturdays loss at pathetic Cal

Rarely will I play 3 games on a weekday but I happen to really like all three of these. I checked vegasinsider and made sure I got the best lines available for all three games. I happened to be able to go to my closest book to me also which was nice. Bol fellas

Yea bro was researching all the lines here all morning. Good luck to you too tonight brother. Got the cable company coming today to hook up my tv's and that might have ran into gametime for a few of my games so I wanted to drive to casino to lock in early so my bets r pending regardless of how long that takes

Good work, best to establish good work habits early. Bol on the 3 I'm not involved in any of those.
