Story time from the book:

Last year, every morning, Little Consig and I walked to school..

8 minutes, priceless time, just me and her on the way to kindergarten..

We just went back to full time school this week, and already, we have a bet..

As a Consig kid, you got action..
when you want it, and we make odds on everything..

Parents know the day starts way earlier than the walk to school, but, as that Patriots guy says, there are no days off..

Here is what went on today by timeline on the walk to first grade in northwest Las Vegas..
6:30am, wake up call fight.

7am, argument to brush your teeth and get dressed ensues

7:01 mama leaves for work

7:08 Grandma yells upstairs “did yinz hear about the ketchup shortage?”

7:20 Pre game shit occurs

7:30 Still shitting..when I ask why, “there are no wipes”
7:31 Frantically search the house for wipes because you know even wetting the TP and wiping ain’t gonna work

7:37 like a miracle from God, there is one pack left

7:39 Ass clean, little Consig is ready for school

7:43 Grandma mentions the ketchup shortage again

7:44 We go..
7:45 We start walking to school

7:47 Somehow, dog shit comes up.

7:47:30 I say “Do you think we will see dog shit on the walk today?”

7:48 Little Consig says YES

7:48:02 We have a YES/NO bet on “will we see dog shit on the walk today

Heads down, the search for shit is on..
7:54 She says “The bet is for the whole week, right?”

7:59 Have a good day

I always say “nobody knows shit” in the book..

Now, we be looking for shit every day!!

Story time from the book:

So we are through round one of the Madness. It has been an absolutely crazy couple of days,

The next two days are always so much fun because now you know me, I know you and we are all enjoying the hoops.

Here are a few tips to make it go smooth the..
rest of the way of “boy band weekend” otherwise known as the NCAA tourney in the book..

1. NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, cares about your bracket unless they ask. And even then, they may just be trying to be nice.

You had Ohio State in your Final Four? Texas? Or you had UConn..
in the Sweet 16? Two shits. Not one, but two shits. That’s how much anyone in the book cares.

And for all you geniuses (Not you Matty from Yahoo) who picked Oral Roberts and Abilene Christian and Ohio U outright, you all lyin..complete bullshit..

These guys could actually..

Story time from the book:

The book business is a microcosm for life lessons.

There are rules, there is order & there is chaos, all within minutes at times.

Growing up in & around the business has been invaluable as a parent as well.

Just like bets, you win, lose or push but
you just wanna be right more than you are wrong.

Sometimes, the plan comes together. Other times, it’s a dead wrong loser. But the juice is always working.

Bettors, books, pick girls, bag guys, and everyone else in between, the one line we can all agree on is that we all..
want to be right..

The money is relative, and it is the measuring stick, but it isn’t the be all, end all..

Yes, the book has to win to pay the salaries of the employees. The bettor has to win to make more plays and maybe take a vacation.

But we are all people fighting

Story time from the book:

At this time last year, we were preparing for March Madness. The day the book turned off the odds, closed the windows, and sports shut down is a story for another time.

There will be a tourney this year, and here is a guide to be prepared in case..
you forgot. It’s only been a year, but you know the Boy Scouts motto “Be Prepared” applies in the sports book as well.

The Scout motto means that you are always ready to do what is necessary to help others. It also means you are ready, willing, and able to do what is..
necessary in any situation that comes along..

One of my best co workers ever named Linda dubbed March Madness “Boy Band Week” in the book, and she was right..

It’s mostly a guy’s trip, groups of dudes, hanging out, drinking and betting on basketball non stop..

In the book..

Story time from the book:

As you may or may not know, in addition to working in sportsbooks in Las Vegas for 17 years, I am a softball coach..

The last tourney I coached before Covid was with Coach Vern..here is a fitting tribute to him..he was one..

bluecollarmg.com/post/thank-you…
of those people who had that "thing" that you know when you see it..

The big straw hat, the shades, the beard, and all the sayings and "Vern-isms" that were unique to him..

He knew everybody..players, coaches, umpires and tournament directors, and they knew him..

He made..
connections that went beyond the field, and the lessons taught were for life..

Coach Vern had the love of the game, but he had the love of people..

A fiery competitor on the field, he was always there to relate, listen and let the girls know "you do you" off of it..

As the..

Story time from the book:

Saturday is one of the busiest days of the year for a sportsbook.

With a full slate of college basketball games, NBA, NHL, soccer and, oh, yeah, the biggest football game of the NFL season and the slew of props that come with it..

The electricity..
in the book is just that..electric..

Everyone, both customer and employee, are excited to be there..

By today, the regulars are pissed off that their usual seat is reserved, let alone that they may have to wait in line to bet the exacta in the 3rd at Oaklawn or get their..
8 team, smokin, chalk, money line ten dollar parlay..

Often times, the rookies in town are partying, boozed up, and havin fun..

They don’t know they need a game number when they come to the window because they don’t even know a game number exists..

For book employees, today..

Story time from the book:

In case you haven’t heard, the Super Bowl props are out. If you don’t know what the props are, they are bets on the game that are not:

side (team +/- points)
total (over/under)
money line (team win/lose no pts)

Anything and everything, including..
the coin flip (not just heads or tails, but which team wins it & whether they will defer or not), or who is going to win the MVP..

Every year, the books try to top one another with these prop offerings, and it can get pretty silly..

But you know the old adage in the casino..
business..if it didn’t make money, they wouldn’t offer it..

For some books, the prop handle will equal or surpass the handle on the game..think about that..

A bunch of propositions like how many receiving yards will Travis Kelce have along with the rest of the props make up..
