PV is typical of a lot of sports book guys. He is pretty much harmless and slightly amusing but no source to make money. I remember one guy at a sports book I frequented to watch the games, check out the new cocktail waitresses and drink some nice cold beer on tap. Everytime I would see this guy I would give him a little stack of drink tokes and he always wanted to know what I was on. I was there to watch the game on TV and bet the second half of the game if I liked the line they put up for the second half. He usually wanted to see my ticket so I would show him. Then he would sit behind me and for some reason root for the opposite team I was on and drink his beer (and wine, he loved merlot), even though he had no money on the game.
So I got smart and would go to another sports book across the street and bet my big money there and then go to the casino where I watched the game and I bet small there on the other side. I would show him my small ticket and it was a real pleasure then to listen to him root for the team I had the big money on. I just kept my mouth shut and watched the game, lol. That worked until his buddy who was a writer at the other casino told him who I had bet on one day, lol. You got to love sports books and guys like PV. They are a dime a dozen.
Hey PV, your first name would not be Steve would it? lol
