This is an article I NEVER thought I\u2019d write, but it is the new reality \u2013 big corporate Las Vegas casinos are closing their doors on \u2018gambling\u2019. \u00a0 Sure, they will take your sucker bets, but they are scaling back and ripping off customers like never before.<\/p>\n
Sad Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n Venetian LOWERED odds on blackjack from 3-2, to 6-5. \u00a0This FLEECES players. \u00a0 This is a $35 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY who decided milking players for a 2% edge WAS NOT SUFFICIENT, they needed 4% \u2013 PER HAND!<\/p>\n Wynn ELIMINATED 3-5x odds behind the line in craps, only allowing 2x odds. \u00a0 The higher the bet behind the line, the better your overall win rate as its the ONLY fair bet in Las Vegas. \u00a02x used to be the Las Vegas norm, but it went to 3-5x to give players less of a negative edge, no longer at Wynn.<\/p>\n Sports Sad Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n Caesars Palace GOT RID of NFL teasers for the AFC\/NFC champ week a couple seasons back. \u00a0 Why? \u00a0 Because they were losing on them during that playoff. \u00a0 Tony, the local bookie pulls that move, not a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY.<\/p>\n MGM uses 20 cent baseball lines. \u00a0 One reason to bet baseball is casinos usually entice players with dime lines, ie, both teams -105 in pick\u2019em, not -110. \u00a0 NOT AT MGM! \u00a0 Looking to milk their fish\/clients for the max, they charge TWICE the odds of their competitors.<\/p>\n Online sportsbooks are where its at<\/strong><\/p>\n Pinnacle Sports will take a $20,000 wager from ANYBODY on a random NBA game. \u00a0 You CANNOT bet $5,000 on one at ANY Las Vegas casino unless you are a known whale who has dropped 5x that amount on BJ or craps.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n For those who can bet online, open accounts and do so. \u00a0IGNORE tweets\/comments from Vegas as if they are \u2018experts\u2019 for they are mere marketing machines now. \u00a0The brightest minds in the industry are focused where the real betting action is, and that\u2019s online, not in Las Vegas anymore!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is an article I NEVER thought I\u2019d write, but it is the new reality \u2013 big corporate Las Vegas casinos are closing their doors on \u2018gambling\u2019. \u00a0 Sure, they will take your sucker bets, but they are scaling back and ripping off customers like never before.
