Hey guys, I'm from Europe and have been betting on MMA fights successfully online for a while. Unfortunately the online sites don't let me bet as much as I want so I want to go to Vegas to bet bigger amounts. I have a few questions:

1. Once you get to Vegas is there an easy way to compare the odds offered by different sportsbooks? I don't want to waste a day driving around for a day comparing the odds.

2. I want to bring over around $500K to bet over a weekend. Obviously I can't bring it all in cash. And it seems like online credit application for sportsbooks require an account with a local U.S. bank. Do I need to open a local bank account in the U.S. to get credit?

3. What Sportsbooks can take $50K bets on UFC fights or over/under bets?

1) I have never bet MMA in LV but there are Websites that provide odds on the bets that are aval. at different books.
2) Cash is your friend.(American $ ) Can your Bank wire $ to a Book?
3) All the Books have a limit and you may be bucking it or easily under the bar.If the Books treat UFC like Prize Fights,even ? ones (Mayweather/McGregor) then 50k would be no problem.If they treat them like Cock-Fights then you may have to hustle a little more.

I have probably provided zero help but just understand that Vegas ain't On-Line.

Wire the money ahead to the casino cage. Won't be difficult to put down 500k total, you'll just have to spread it out at different books

For those who are facing a similar problem.

1. https://www.oddsshark.com/ufc/odds shows odds for 5 Las Vegas sports books. Does anyone know any other websites that show more than these 5.

2/3. No Vegas sports book I talked to wants to take more than $5K/bet without an established relationship. But I'm not complaining $5K/bet is much better than what you can bet online and with 30 or so sports books in vegas I'm sure I'll be able to bet at least $200K over the weekend.

If anyone has suggestions on #1 above please let me know.

Thanks

Just read this https://www.wired.com/2010/11/ff_midas/ story. Does anyone know if it's true that Cantor Gaming takes bets over $1 million?

I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall but European people usually have big$$$ so it's kind of believable to me and let's face it in 2017 almost 18 500k isn't a lot of money for anyone that's been successful in life
