I'd be surprised if anyone is.

And if so, I'd be surprised if they'd take more than $50 or $100.

Pinnacle is taking nickels, by way of a reality check. No one anywhere is going to give you more.


(Incidentally, the owner of the company I work for is going to fly to Vegas and try to bet 51k).

The biggest bet you could make is $50 or $100 to win $35 or $40 bucks???

That is a reality check...

Incidentally this guy is worth millions....$50k is not that much money

Doubt he can get any action in Vegas. If he's serious, he should look into going to London to bet it

Vegas has always been very weak as far as betting options. "Never under estimate the lazyness of a Vegas linesmaker" Your best bet is a non american based offshore book.

The exchanges in Europe are probably the only place to get that amount down.

Pinnacle is taking $5,000 and I'm sure you could bet it multiple times after they've moved the number. Sportsbook.com also has it up, but I'm sure their limits would be around nickels. They do have Romney "will he win the republican nomination" with the Yes -600. As long as Santorum and Newt split the conservative vote, Romney's a shoe in to win it, IMO.

It is illegal to bet on anything in Nevada not decided on the field of play via vote. The only exception is boxing. So your answer is nowhere.

Pinnacle IS taking 5k on the winning party, my apology, and thanks for the correction.


Currently Democrat -204, Republican +187.

If the OP is serious, his boss could bet it once, let the line resettle back to (very close to) where it is now, rebet it, etc.

PS - Even though the LV sportsbooks COULD take action on different events than they could previously, they are showing their usual lack of imagination and not doing it.

Thank you Scooter,
Good stuff. I remember Poker bets were a huge point of contention and it if you know the poker world you will know that many people have "pieces" of other people, thus making legit bets a bit questionable.

I have personally bet and backed offshore poker tournaments and seen where there is a conflict of interest in betting interests.

Albeit, a presidentail election should be above beyone reproach or conspiracy (lol, Fla. 2000) and with lowered limits Nevada books should take this no problem and get rid of antiquated rules.

The poker stipulation got put through with the Harrah's lobbyists and is hardly a template for future bets.

Oscar, Grammy, etc. bets should have a parimutuel pool but the fact they are too lazy to keep up with it and still take a profilt on something with a huge house edge is embarrassing.

Only one place in Las Vegas to bet on this stuff.... (Apologies to Zevon and Yoakum)

Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Koval Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand

Good song. "Carmelita" YouTube. Prefer Yoakum.
