    Do you work at Rivers sportsbook? We always get a sportsbook table for the fights. The only thing I hate about their book is that it’s right next to the bar with the music blaring so you can’t hear the games.

      Ended up +1200 for trip, good, but was up almost 3k at one point.

      I tipped really good on the trip. Dealers probably made $500 off me. Nobody else tipping, cheap fukks. I feel bad for these dealers having to work in that environment.

      Also took the extra roll of toilet paper

      Wife wants to go visit family out that way this weekend so I’ll probably end up back at the casino again Saturday

          Why? I thought it was 120 mile radius?

              We've been trying to make recommendations about getting that changed. Saturdays who honestly wants to hear a live band over a primetime college football game? Doesn't get any doesn't that that.I think the Fury Wilder fight gave them a pretty good idea that the setup is NOT working when people started chanting for them.to stop singing haha. But yes I've been working there since the sportsbook opened up

                    Yes, I remember that. I also hate how there are so many people standing around and they don't rope off the VIP tables so we have to keep pushing all the broke dikks off our table. Are you a ticket writer?

                          Yessir I am. I'm sorry to hear about that. The things you want to see happen I would definitely suggest taking the surveys they give you. Especially to get the band moved. If enough people bring it up I would think they have no choice but to consider it.

                            I originally thought end of July. I wouldn't be surprised to see us follow Turningstone's plan. Open without the sportsbook being open at first. Wouldn't be surprised if that happens until the NBA comes back. Just not the interest level In the Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga.

                              Cool, I've probably placed bets with you multiple times.

                              Hope you guys got that tip we gave you the night of the Fury fights. We gave the manager $300 to split between you guys.

                              We we're all set for a nice 4 day March Madness weekend there until...……….

                              Have you heard anything about the host named Quang? I got a call saying he was fired.

                                      Yea, that was a great night at the craps tables! I hit for 12k and my buddy hit for 18k (and he’s not even a gambler, just has a lot of cash). Hoping you guys are up and running by July 11. Huge UFC card. If not, looks like we’ll have to head out to Turning Stone
