Ok, I understand Vegas really doesn't like sportsbetting, but I'd imagine they still are ok with football (it being the sort of "acceptable" sport to bet on).
I know vegas has shit limits as well but if you really wanted 100K on a NFL side couldn't you get them to let you place it there?
Or would they just not be interested?

I'm not really sure what they're taking now, but I think 10 K is HUGE in Vegas.

Not really, it's all about offsetting the action. Such a hit on a side would allow you to offer a really nice attractive number the other way. You would then write action for the next 5-10 min, until you balance the books. Moving the number to neutral ground again. Just to start all over again. Big books handle BIG numbers.

WALK...........hell i shouldnt be talkin i wont take much more than that on bases................lol..
but seriously, the powers to be at most large books....if they deem you to have more money than you know what to do with, and arent sharper than the average joe.....will put you on for whatever your sweet heart desires.....(talking about footsies)

DPO:
True. And it has got to a point where sharpies will behave like sharks around a piece of bloody meat (this is obvious for the focused eye, just by watchung rge screen) . They all want a bit. The key is to take advantage of this dog-eat-dog situation. In the end is more difficult to make money off of sharp guys, but when they are beating each other to the number, there's always a chance to book.

Don't know what a normal limit in Vegas is, but it was all over the news back in February when Jennifer Lopez bet $ 400,000.00 on the Tampa moneyline at the SB ... won $ 650,000.00 if I am not mistaken.
When I was still playing at SBG they said they would take up to $100k on a bet, and a friend of mine said that they would go way higher than that for preferred customers.
One thing I've never understood is why offshores sometimes have vastly different limits for online bets vs. phone-ins. Never has made sense to me.

Does anyone at this forum know the real identity of "The Linemover" who was chronicled in all those articles a few years ago. (I am sure if you did you wouldn't post it anyway.) but...with the Vegas books supposedly having these "lookouts" with pagers to alert every one of bets he makes, how the hell can this guy keep his identity secret??? Seems like the offshores would know this guy inside and out and put limits on him and his "team" of cappers and computer geeks. Would love to always know his plays ahead of time though. Also I wonder what the hell his winning % is most years during football?.
