I’ve decided to try out sports book betting next time I’m in Vegas, but I have no idea what to do. The last time I was at Caesar’s I just stared at the giant screens for a while and gave up. What do I need to know before making a bet, and how exactly do you go about placing one?
On the board you will see a number by each bet, for example:
43 Packers -6
44 Bears +6
That means the Packers are 6 point favorites vs the Bears.
Walk up to the window and say: I want $10 on 43. That means you are betting $10 on the Packers to win by more than 6. Naturally you can bet whatever amount you want and as many games as you like.
Thats the basics. There is more, like parlay cards and multiple game cards, championship games, etc. they will be happy to help you, just admit you are new.
