WVU was only picked to win by 2 points. Looking at VT schedule in detail, their strength of schedule was extremely weak. While WVU's was pretty good. I felt like Vegas was looking more at Wins and Losses, then the strength of schedule or circumstantial instances...
I had a very strong feeling WVU would win and do so in a convincing fashion, so Ive never bet on a sports game before, but I took out $3k and made my way to the casino.
For some reason they would only let me bet $2200, not sure why.... Its not like I was trying to bet $3k on a parlay that would pay out $50k...
Honestly, whats the fkn point in having a casino if you dont take bets. My guess is they intentionally keep it low because they will get a different type of sports better... and not one of the better kind... It kinda rubs me the wrong way, so I think I may open an account online so I can at least bet $5k if I want...
When I approached the counter, the woman initially couldnt find my game. After a few mins she finally found it... Saying usually they only take bets on the day of the game, which I thought was strange. I mean, if I cant bet on a game thats tomorrow, thats just weird...
Then when she found it, she said how much would you like to bet. I said $3k.... and you would have thought I said $3mill... She asked for ID confirmation which I gave her, then she took my card behind a door without asking me permission. The ENTIRE process was shady as fk, and this was at Mardi Gras Casino... She had to get approval for the bet, which after 5mins of waiting her manager finally gave her the thumbs up. Then when she input my bet, the computer recalculated and would no longer accept a $3k bet and would only accept a $2200 bet... I mean, I know its not the Bellagio, but its $3k.... $3k on a approx 190% payout... If the casino is that hard up, I imagine they have some shady business practices and shty customer service...
I dont bet often, Ive never bet on a sports game before in my life. I made 1 futures bet, and this one.... Thats it... What are the best platforms online for sports betting? The most real-time spreads, highest max, and no issues when it comes time to cashin and withdrawl?? Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations, experiences, etc??
I def wont be going back there again... Unless its to play roulette(I only pick Red or Black, and double my losses, so I switch the odds in my favor because Im betting Ill win 1 out of group of 9. So Im not betting against a single bet, Im betting Ill win 1 out of 9. Ive never lost with that strategy, I always walk out with $800-$1500 in a 2-3 hour stretch. I only go when my brother comes in from Cali around the holidays. My career is like betting, so I dont do it much... BUT..... when I do... I dont want shty mins, limitations, or sketchy business practices..
What a game tho! Its great to see us finally play a full game! Obviously still a few things to clean up and improve, but def needed this one before UT... Which will be a tough one... Its good to see them get a W.... You could sense the team & staff really needed & wanted it after being so close...
LETS GO
