Haha dam did I say that I didn't mean to. It's a game of variance and Lady Luck wasn't on my side is how I meant to say that

Anyways I did call the cops on aria because they robbed me! After the PLO loss I dropped 1400 on bj. Yada yada yada doubles vs sixes didn't work. You know the story.

We headed back to the V to watch some cfb and en route picked up the rungood let's gooo!!!



Still having a great time and I'm walking easier without all that heavy money weighing me down 8/31 - 9/4/2016 Vegas Semi-live TR

There is really no explanation. For those that know the game, losing 500 on pai goe is hard to do. Dam!

Had some awesome sweats that turned out! ASU and Hawaii over 70 are much needed injections to the bankroll. Stadium looked rocking too

Aahhh I forgot about Boise state dammit

Just read this TR so far, and loving it. Keep it coming! So ...

"PS- crazy to think the 24 hour challenge would be just wrapping up right now. No way I could have made that"

Joe should have waited you out! (But, hey, I AM rooting for you!)

So you mentioned an in-door gun range in your start. Free advice, YMMV -- There are a lot of options. I did one on my last trip (this is an unpaid endorsement!) -- Battlefield Vegas. I did the Private Ryan Experience, which has all the US WWII guns, and added German Lugar and MP38 (or MP40, whatever submachine gun they had). Also a vet picks you up in a Hum Vee, and has water for you.

Finally, next time at the V -- Grand Lux Cobb salad FTW!

Ahh yes we were looking at battlefield Vegas, sadly I think it's gonna go on next trips to do list.

Cobb salad I will try to get as I need to use these comps up! Those juices they didn't accept the comps. If I remember*

The lo carb Monster (light blue) is my go to, but those coffee ones are super yummy but I seem to drink them way too quick and feel like bricks in my stomach afterwards.

“Sharp” suggestions were good! Generally a good sign when someone wants to bet derivatives.

Poker didn't last long last night as on my 3rd hand I lost with AKo to AJdd on KQ5dd Kx 7d and I bet bet jammed into his nut flush. Called it a night, then this morning caught my flight back home. Overall it was a great trip and although the gambling could have gone better, I had a blast and wouldn't change a thing.

I did place some season long sports bets, here they are:

Bama wins CFB championship @ 11:5 bet $100
Auburn wins CFB championship @ 12:1 bet $20
LSU wins CFB @ 50:1 bet $20

Superbowl champ is from NFC South @ 6:1 bet $20
Panthers win SBowl @ 38:1 bet $20
Saints with SBowl @ 13:1 bet $20
Bengals win AFC Championship @ 40:1 bet $20

Raiders under 8.5 @ -240 bet $100
Eagles under 10.5 @ -150 bet $100
Buccaneers under 6.5 @ -145 bet $100
Ravens under 8.5 @ +105 bet $100
Bills under 6.5 @ -290 bet $100
Browns under 5 @ +185 bet $100
Cowboys under 8.5 @ -135 bet $100
Broncos over 7 @ -160 bet $100
Chargers under 9 @ +165 bet $100
Saints over 9.5 @ -140 bet $100

Until next time Vegas, and thanks for reading/posting!

Thanks for sharing. While I have been burned out on Vegas myself, I do love reading good TR’S. Nicely done.

Hi all,
At about the half way point through cfb and NFL so thought I'd post an update. My buddy Mike and I have locked in a 3 day 4 night trip to align with the first weekend of NFL playoffs and the cfb championship (aka alabama's coronation).

We'll be staying at park MGM (my free rooms at venetian have expired) and plan for copious amounts of sports betting, golf, pits, and poker, with good food and drink mixed in of course.

An update on sports bets:
Bama wins CFB championship @ 11:5 bet $100 - lock of the year
Auburn wins CFB championship @ 12:1 bet $20 - VIP #1 to the rip up party
LSU wins CFB @ 50:1 bet $20 - VIP #2 to the rip up party after losing terribly just now to bama in Death Valley

Superbowl champ is from NFC South @ 6:1 bet $20 - alive and well, got 2 potential playoff contenders
Panthers win SBowl @ 38:1 bet $20 - contender #1b
Saints with SBowl @ 13:1 bet $20 - contender #1a, big game tomorrow vs the Rams
Bengals win AFC Championship @ 40:1 bet $20 - still alive. Hey, miracles happen

Raiders under 8.5 @ -240 bet $100 - pay me
Eagles under 10.5 @ -150 bet $100 - pay me?
Buccaneers under 6.5 @ -145 bet $100 - please keep playing jameis
Ravens under 8.5 @ +105 bet $100 - still alive
Bills under 6.5 @ -290 bet $100 - looking solid
Browns under 5 @ +185 bet $100 - this would be a joy to win, bet is live, really hoping the recent firings deflate them and don't inspire them
Cowboys under 8.5 @ -135 bet $100 - still alive
Broncos over 7 @ -160 bet $100 - needs help but I'm optimistic. Trading demaryius doesn't help but I've still got hope
Chargers under 9 @ +165 bet $100 - we'll learn a lot about the chargers over these next few weeks. They've lost to good teams and beat ****ty teams so far... schedule isn't a lock and chargers are known for colossal **** ups
Saints over 9.5 @ -140 bet $100 - PAY ME let's geaux saints!!

See you in January!

Heading out tomorrow morning, arriving at 1p Vegas time. Have tee times at Bali Hai and Vegas National (Saturday and Monday mornings). Super pumped to golf, catch up with Mike, sports bet, eat and drink, and gamble! Hopefully more poker and less pit games.

I am coming off a somewhat nasty head cold but am feeling a bit better everyday. Tomorrow the goal is to not drink too much to make sure I'm all good.

Depending how busy the trip is am not sure if I'll do a semi-live or just wait til I return for a proper TR.

The roll (no 50s)

Shoes are same as before
