It just doesn't seem to make sense that Vegas would just stop taking bets for a team that would get a lot of bets. Boston winning would benefit Vegas most likely. Cause people would bet on them, especially with lowered odds. EDIT: And I Don't Think your a moron, Something seems to be missing. Which casino or gambli.ng site is this
It was the Flamingo. I agree that it seems unlikely, but the disclaimer on the sheet presented the scenario very clearly.
Don't get me wrong, i believe your telling the truth. I'm more perplexed if its true as to why a casino would do that.
Well, if I was wrong, that would mean I couldn't read and understand a simple group of sentences enough to decipher what they mean. That would make me a moron, if true.
"Wagers on the Boston Celtics are NOT being accepted. If the Celtics win the Pro Basketball Championship, The team playing them will be recognized as the team with the best finish and would be considered the winner for wagering purposes." The bet sheet is titled "Futures" and is current on 2/2/09. It's used in Vegas at Caesar's Palace, Flamingo, Harrah's, Rio, Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Casino, Harveys, Bally's, Paris and Imperial Palace.
god dammit...Ive never heard of anything like this before My apologies, I still cant believe it. And Duckman...I wasnt "owned" I was wrong ...you gotta bet me to get owned or be an ownee
I have no problem admitting Im wrong...This isnt an opinion based argument, it was either a yes or no answer. I thought wrong. Mark this as the only time anything affiliated with the Celtics will beat anything affiliated with the Lakers this year.
