Sports
Gambling Introduction
Sports
betting is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands visitors to Las Vegas
each year. If you've never tried your hand at sports betting
before, we hope that this introduction will help you get started
in this unique and exciting gaming opportunity - sports wagering.
Wide arrays of betting propositions are available to players. They
vary from two dollar parlay cards to the legendary $100,000 bets
accepted at some sports books under special arrangements. (The
standard maximum bet limit is $5,000 at most books).
Sports betting, race wagering, and poker are the only venues of
chance open to the gaming public in which the player is not in
direct competition with the casinos (the house). In all other
casino games (such as craps, keno, slot machines, baccarat,
blackjack and roulette), the house has a statistical advantage. In
sports wagering, however, players can gain an edge on the house
when they can identify games where the posted line does not
accurately reflect the true odds for the game's outcome. For more
information on how to take advantage of this wagering opportunity,
see Section IV - Introduction to Handicapping for Beginners.
Many people find that placing bets on the outcome of a game
greatly enhances their enjoyment in watching the game on
television or listening to it on the radio. Most Las Vegas sports
books have satellite hook-ups and big-screen TV's broadcasting the
numerous college and pro games being played across the country and
they post frequent scoring updates on the progress of all games on
which they are taking action.
Nevada is the only state in which general sports betting is legal.
State laws and the gaming control board provide regulations to
insure the integrity of all sports book activities. The gaming
control board is always open to referee disputes and uphold honest
gaming.

When you walk into a sports book, you will see a large
"Board" listing all of the games available for betting,
along with the lines and odds for each game. In some books this
board is a huge electronic marvel, rivaling the most sophisticated
reporting system of a large brokerage house. Other books maintain
the board by hand, with displays that are similar to the ones seen
in old movies involving "bookies."
Sports books will only accept bets on those games, which have been
posted on their board. These games are known as "board
games." Generally, all major league baseball, NFL, NBA and
NHL games are "on the board," whereas college games are
limited to football and basketball match-ups being played by major
Division I schools. Limited betting is available at some books on
golf, tennis, car racing, and other miscellaneous sports.
Most sports books use the Official Nevada Rotation, supplied by
the Official Nevada Sports Schedule. This rotation is a list of
all the board games being played on a particular date along with
starting times.
