Ill be in Vegas from DEC 9-14. I have a $5,000 bankroll.

I will be doing 4 things with my bankroll.

1- NLHE. 1/3 to 2/5 and taking a shot at 5/10 if all goes well.

2- CRAPS. I tend to play table min and placing max odds behind. Min bet always in the come.

3- UFC 194. I plan on wagering on 2-3 fights.

4- NFL. I plan on wagering on 4-5 games.

So my question is how much to allocate to each facet of my trip.
I have never been to Vegas and would like some advice from those who have been and have maybe done the same sort of thing.

Depends on your poker playing ability.

for 3) and 4) suggest $100 bets and $200 if you are a couple of bets up, can't do worse than $1k if you brick the lot.

For 2)depends where you play. At a $10 minimum table placing full odds, you can definitely go through $1k pretty quick, so maybe $2k budget for pits and $2k budget for poker, change it around if you prefer playing poker to pits or are getting better results doing it.

That assumes you have separate $$ for f&b and walking around. If not, take it out of the craps budget.

I think it completely depends on how much poker $$ you want. You could do anything from a $200 buyin at 1/2 to the $1k max 2/5 game at Aria. If you decided to just have a weekend of 1/2 buyins, it leaves you a lot more for the rest.

Seems like there will be a lot of us out there next weekend.

Bet 1k on Aldo at +150 or better. That'll cover all the money you'll lose on dice and the NFL. EZ game.

Where are you finding this at +150?? I was taking +130 for both Rockhold and Aldo.

I got it at that price 2 weeks ago at the Westgate. If you can't find it now wait til it gets closer to fight night. All the public will money will come in on CM IMO.

IMO the Aldo fight is very close.

I recommend betting on Alves and Court McGee to win. Not as sexy as betting the main event but far better ev. If you win those bets then use some of it on betting on Aldo. Aldo's price will get better probably closer to fight time as Irish money comes in right before fight.

Aldo should move back to +130ish by middle of card. The public thinks he's a big pussy and lots of money will go on the big hype late.
