    Default What Vegas book has the biggest square bettors

    Combination most people, betting the most money. Basically publc money. Not a place where most sharps hang out. The "whale" types that are betting big amounts of money without much thought behind getting the best number, etc...

    I looked at some different things yesterday and noticed that a few places seemed to stand out a bit more then the others with bumping the number up a half point or so on the public team and favorites, also on the overs. I sort of kept a running tally of all the Vegas books to see which ones looked like they may be booking more square/public action.

    Curious what most here think. Don't want to influence anyone with what I came up, so I will add my thoughts later in the thread.

    On my last couple of trips to Las Vegas I've taken note of this at the places I visited and I would agree with most that Harrahs, MGM and Stations seemed to fit the criteria.

    Has anyone been to the TI after they were bought out? I am assuming their lines are independent, and am curious how they stack up.

    Ridiculously low limits and incompetent staff.

    In any sportsbook, just fade the loudest group of people having a conversation. They are usually hanging around the counters or the trash cans.
