I spent more time in vegas than i should have, i was doing the poker-sports combo in vegas 1985-95, sometimes 3 day benders sometimes 30 day benders
Then why do you call poker players scum?

Just left Sporty after dining at The Stratosphere, a hotel-casino rebranding to "The Strat" this summer.
Sporty is a good guy and a smart guy.
Bill O'Brien, Ron Boyles and David Dineen also dined with us.
For those who have yet to meet Sporty, he's level-headed and forward-thinking.
Every word from his mouth is measured.
If he gambles like he talks, he has a chance to survive in Las Vegas without a 9-to-5 job.
I think he can win money with his skills and opinions.
Because he lost.Then why do you call poker players scum?
Would have enjoyed being at that table.....
I'll see you in early August, Arturo.
Westgate. Wtf. They shut their Buffett down at 2pm. Does not reopen for dinner.
What a clown who decided that was a good business decision.
At the Wynn a poker player is a dealer there. A big time former player who had plenty of ESPN time back in the day. I believe he ran into some money and drug issues from what I recall from his story. He would be the exact profile of a poker player based on railbird's description of what scum is. He was a good dealer. Quick and kept the game moving.
Excellent guess. Right time frame but think younger at that time.Layne Flack?

Scott Fischman, final answer.Excellent guess. Right time frame but think younger at that time.
Lol. I'm glad you dont agree that all are gay n scum. There has to be an outlier out there right?Scott Fischman, final answer.
Also, I’m not in agreement with Railbird that all poker players are gay or drug addicted and typically scum.
The poker has been small wins. Have even stayed off the tables after a few sports disasters.Keep the faith, sports. It’s a marathon. How’s poker? Have you played any plo at the aria yet?

I'll get on the poker tables more as we get closer to wsop events. Might sit 10-14 hours at the cash games during that time.
Better over the last 5 days. Had to cut my play amounts in half due to a bad run along with some bad bad capping.
I reevaluate my wins too. I win a lucky bet and sat "dont fkn do that again" . Also with losses. Afterward I ask why did I make that bet and would I again. If I like the play I move on quietly.to me this is key...dont kid yourself about it being bad luck etc....the handicapping was bad and admit it....I have a long resume of sports bets like that....in racing people convince themselves they lost because of a bad ride or fixed races etc when it was simply poor handicapping
I've learned to not bet against a streak. Yes it shouldn't continue based on law of averages.Nice update sports, keep the marathon going.
Mr Poison not sustainable you obv know that. The greatest lifetime message board fades are betthemdogs, okie and jets over at bt. Their opinions are consistently so poor and square it’s basically a monthly annuity.
Fml story.
Thurs. I place a 3 tm f5 moneyline parlay with kc +170 balt +200 reds +147
Win all 3. Cash out +950
Go bet Friday morning. No issues.
Go bet Friday afternoon. My account is locked. My parlay was reduced to a 2 team parlay since the pitcher they listed for tb was chirinos instead of wood. I have no idea when chirinos was listed as I had wood from the overnight listing.
Had to pay back $667 as that +200 dog boosted the price quite well.
A slight kick in the ball sack.
Watch your listed pitchers in case the sportsbook fuk up.
Lesson learned.
Westgate gives comps for sports betting. Places that dont I dont use a card. Aka cgtFFS don’t use your players card when betting at the window

I have to say more times than not the scratches do not work in my favor. Most of the time books don't give much time for an adjusted line as most of these take place within an hours' window of first pitch.You're right. Listing pitchers is another hurdle for MLB. I had many Dog winners in MLB...only to check later + see that my pitcher had been scratched for No Action.
Salud if u can hit those Moneyline Dog parlays w/ any regularity. The payout price multiplies thru so quickly.
I just saw this. Didnt play but tha is for the winner.bet on macky mac in tennis. to play tennis go on top of westgate and tell billy derang o I semt u
Yes 1/2 and 1/3 nl is my game. My normal rooms are Caesars and Wynn. I normally buy in for 200 with another 100 behind depending how the table is playing. I've noticed the nicer the room the bigger the fish. Have only played aria once and belligio twice.Hey Sports two things.
1. Congrats on the move and it seems you are happy! Huge kudos.
2. I am sorry I never checked this thread out before tonight. You can use my number same as always during football season.
Here is my advice as a poker player who plays too much and also backs even more he shouldn't. If you are playing small NO limit games (I believe you are from the amounts listed I could easily be wrong) target games and rooms not listed on bravo.
MGM, palm's, Caesars and even stratosphere all have 1-2 games also red rock and south point have terrible regulars.
If you are playing limit mix or hold em stay away from Orleans and go to aria for the mix and Venetian LHE 4/8 or 6/12 when it runs and if you are a local find a way to Bellagio (don't pay for parking it'll kill your hourly) during the late nights or early mornings and find the tourists playing the 10/20 or 20/40 you'll usually be the only player sober or that cares at those times.
Wsop I can give specific advice once you tell me cash games, times etc you plan on playing. Feel free to dm on Twitter walls_edward if you have any questions that you think I can help with.
Goodluck, Eddie
