    MGM in Vegas is no better.

    $300 limits on everything except NFL.

    They actually made big strides last year when no sports were going on.

    They were taking much bigger limits on the small stuff that was going on, including $750 on table tennis matchups.

    As soon as major sports restarted, they resorted back to the pussy book they've always been.

    Is that just on the app or in-person too? You mean you can't walk up to the counter and bet a dime on the NBA game?

    On the app.

    You can bet more in person but have fun driving all the way down there, find parking, wait in line, get to the counter, try to place a bet, be told to wait for approval, then bam!!!

    "Sorry sir the line has moved, I guess someone beat you to it"

    Yeah, right.

    MGM sucks.

    I don't blame any book for only taking a Maximum bet on any contest. It would be nice to know what each books' limits are in advance, but even THAT might be easier said than done. But in defense of the player that wanted to only bet $50 on the Heisman winner, and was denied....DAM that limit should be clearly stated.
    Bottom line is that all books are there to make money and as long as they are consistent with what they do, I really don't get upset. My 2 pennies.
