Vegas betting question....I'm totally ignorant on the subject

so just want to get that full disclosure out there from the outset. I'm going to vegas this weekend and wouldn't mind putting down some bets. However, I don't know squat about baseball or anything else currently going on so I'd prefer to put some bets down about college football. How would that work exactly? Like if I see some lines on games or something else I want to bet on, I just put my money on it, I get that. But then when I leave and go back home, what happens 3 months from now if I end up winning? Will I have a claim ticket or something to mail in and they'll mail me a check, will it be direct deposited, etc?

Bet on the Dawgs to win the east.

But place no bets on us to cover any spread. CMR never does this

They will give you a ticket when you place the bet, if you win you can mail it in and they will mail you back a check.

Thanks. I was hoping it would be something that simple but didn't know if having to send money across other states would have weird restrictions involved or something.

There probably aren't any spreads yet, since games are still 2+ months away. There are futures bets though, the Dawgs are probably 1200:1 to win a title, so you got that going for you.

I don't know if these are "official" or whatever, but there are definitely game spreads out there for a lot of the bigger games. I think lines for about 8 of UGA's games have come out.


I wouldn't bet on/against UGA anyway. I would just rather bet on cfb since I know at least a LITTLE about it, unlike baseball where I know nothing.

Mississippi State over 7 wins is the best bet in Vegas at the moment. At worst you're looking at a push

hmmm not bad. they've got 5 essentially guaranteed wins, so they woudl only need to go 2-5 in their other games to push.

You may need to ask for a print-out of the lines. They probably won't have a lot of them on the monitors.

Depending on where you're staying, the sports book might be a great place to hang out and kill time during the day. I've spent hours betting $2 on whichever horse has the shortest name to show. There's a decent amount of time between races, and they keep bringing around drinks.

Put it all on the Vols over 7.5 wins. You're welcome.

Spurs to win the nba title at 9/2 is a good bet. Rockets are 15/2. If you're feeling really groggy the pels are at 33/1

Every ticket will have space to enter your name and address should you have to claim any winners. Be sure to make a front/back copy of any winning tickets before mailing.

It typically takes me about 3 weeks to receive a check by mail.

Lots of them don't have lines out this early but the Golden Nugget does have them for individual games (not futures).
