As i suspected, Internet access has been limited since I've been on vacation. Sorry for break between posts.
I hadn't planned to pick up yet another title this trip out West but that's the way it worked out -- Call me RB: running bookie. Apparently I'm a skilled horse gambler.
First things first -- has anyone spent 6 hours straight in the comfort of the sports book section of your local Las Vegas casino? If you haven't, one could easily argue, you haven't really lived.
Bookie friend and I spent 6 hours Monday in Mandalay Bay, which easily has the nicest sports book of any of the half dozen ones we popped in on, including the new Wynn, the newest Strip addition, a pretentious casino which disappointed me.
Of the 15 or so races I bet, I flatout lost only about 2. Day's end purse: -$15 -$20.
Sure, I didn't leave hundreds or thousands up, but I drank for free and passed away the day enjoyably.
After the Dec. 4 Vegas marathon, the sports book of the Mandalay is where you might find me. For fellow Vegas-bound marathoners, I'd be happy to offer my tips and teach you how to read the line (well, maybe not every line since I'm not entirely sure what every single abbreviation is).
Services, like those as my running coach duties, are free. Act now before rates go up.
