Baronman makes a good point. Don't have to bet everyday. If you don't like a game on a given  day, don't  bet. Patients is key out here. Don't be an action  junkie.  Red Rock and South Point are good books

On the physical aspect of it,it's just an ounce of gold that is easily liquidated and a nice stash of emergency funds that we all encounter from time to time.Price today is $1241.50

Try to buy one as close as possible to current spot,it does not need to be graded and in a case.I think there's a couple pawn shops around lower W.Charleston that may have some..and BTW there's a JerseyMikes franchise also.

Buy yourself a small safety deposit vault at your bank. Keep all extra cash there. Not wise to keep large amounts of cash at home or on person.

Setup an online brokerage account and split your profit 50/50 between the brokerage account and increasing your bankroll at the bank.
Pick dividend paying stocks and set it up to roll over all dividends into more shares.  If you succeed and employ this strategy at your age you will be in a great position in 10 years.

Just don't post after a big win and give your location idiots with their fingers on the trigger quick to stick you and take it
Quivering lips pistol whipped stripped end up butt naked
There's criminal individuals littering Las Vegas......

If you don't make money you won't be adding anything...is pretty simple. Only profits...when I say profits that means whatever is left after all living expenses-etc. are paid for.

How often is a decision each person needs to make for themselves.

This is where doing some additional research will come in handy. Just like there are online/offshore, there will be some square books who are high on favourites and some underdog leaning books in Vegas so you should find out which ones they are and use them to your advantage.

If you like an underdog driving that extra 10 miles to a square book that is high on favourites for that extra half point will be worth your time and gas money.

If I were you, I would use this site and print out the daily line moves and closing prices of some of the casinos in Vegas and see which books close higher or lower than average on each game.

Again, BOL to you and congrats on a great start.

Unless he wants to explode after two weeks, can't do the buffet EVERY meal.

Disagree here, money wise it saves $$ and its such a tourist thing to do, plus unhealthy.

Made myself a great dinner. I enjoy cooking. Two big hamburgers (No buns) packet of uncle bens rice, cooked brocoli, garlic and olive oil and a giant salad with oil and vinegar. Loving my time in Vegas so far. Capping for tommorow... Didn't have a feel today.. When I don't like anything I won't play from now on. Gotta try to stay perfect as a pro tommorow.

Proud of myself for stating away today. Doing this for a living now I gotta feel strongly about a game to make a play. When I had that dead end job in jersey I would have bet on two mice raising if it helped get me thru work

I played a shiitty college baskets card tonight and went 2-4

I'm hoping +125 Calgary can bail me out of this lousy Monday.

Bad, bad day.

Well, I just filled out my Tuesday's card.  Won't spoil anything for you now.  Just ate a couple Ambien and I will sleep well because the +125 ML Calgary just bailed my degererate azz out of a fukked up Monday.

Some days you do nothing and they are the best days of the week CG.  Trust your instincts but always follow your heart.  Your instincts can be slightly off but Your heart will never let you down.  Hope that makes sense bro.
