Default Vegas Sportsbook Question
Does anyone know that if there is a big fight out there (Mandalay Bay) will the other sportsbook purchase the fight for others to watch? UFC has a huge match when I am out there, and I am going to unload on Ortiz to smoke Shamrock, hoping to watch it...I am praying for a Pick Six carryover that is huge somewhere for that Friday so I can play it, hit it for 50k and then take everyone to the fight ringside and get sloppy drunk and start fights of our own. Guessing that won't happen, I want to watch Ortiz whoop his behind......

Not going to have the loot for that type of ticket....I am going to play some pick six out there, a $220 ticket or something and hope to hit it so I can go to the fight.

Ortiz is -550 on Pinnacle, that is lock city, I wonder what he will be out in Vegas

I'd put my money on Ric Flair. 19-time champ.

I like The Undertaker. (hee hee, is he still even around? Seriously though, I thought Ric Flair was dead?)

If it's a pay-per-view fight, I don't think it will be on in sportsbooks. However, some of the hotels may have it in a ballroom and charge $50 a ticket or something like that.

Scavs laying 550 to win a 100 is a quick ticket to the poor house. You have to be right every single time laying that kind of wood. Never and I mean never would I bet that.

I know Randall, not doing it...Even though Ortiz is going to retire Shamrock....I will consider playing it if for some reason the Bellagio has it at-200 or less......Never bet boxing/fighting, never plan on it

Wow you've got me by far on the old names. A couple are familar but "the thumb" or "coconut head"? I'm more in the realm of The Iron Sheik or Bobo Brazil.

When I was young we always used to say to each other "Hi, I'm Earl Schieb and I'll paint any car any color".
