Anybody remember the Barbary Coast and their $.5 line. Back in the day this casino was getting heavy action on this Sport. It seems like yesterday running back and forth, sweat running down my forehead to other casinos with bulges of Cash in my pockets trying to secure my Arbitrage bets. Those were the days !!

I prefer to sit on my ass in front of the puter and make more money easier. The access to information is power. Humpi it up and down the street for the numbers was just execise. I have a wife for that. In a way I miss it. Just from the interaction of the regulars, the know it alls, the squares. Was sort of a circus. Stand in line for lotto on openers. It was like a competition. This is how it evolved, I just go with the flow. Try that arbitrage now, if they let you get down for any amount, and then for how long. If that is all you could do, your food source became extinct, and so did you. Know a couple of players that could not or did not make transition. Gaming got so far up their cracks it was just not worth it. Even if you do not messenger, you are suspected of it. Nope, it is just a memory, pleasant, but past...OF

Whenever I go to Vegas I still play all my teasers there Red Eye. They still have pretty good odds. If I had been there when they had nickel lines I woulda been doing the same. lol

Yes Red Eye, I remember those days and I wonder if the nickel lines were at the other Coast properties as I always was running down the strip like a wild deer LOL Seems like I remember running into you more than once !
