Sportsbook comps

footdocml · Oct 20, 2007

Not sure where the best place to ask this question is but I was wondering what you have to wager to get comped in a Las Vegas sportsbook? I play Craps, Blackjack, and Pai Gow and I usually sit at a table for 4-5 hours a session wagering $25-50 a hand in BJ, $10-15 at craps, and $50 in Pai Gow. The comps are slowly adding up but when I play at the sportsbook and made a couple of nickel wagers I dont seem to get any points or comp credits added to my account. Do I need to be wagering 20 dimes to get anything?

Thanks

seems like they dont give a fuck about sports betters. I have been to vegas 3 times, and am a similar player to you, I bet 25-50 in bj and 100-500 on sports. Dont get shit but a couple free drinks from the sports comp.

Last year the guy at the Orleans sports book suggested he enroll me in the book's Coast Club for sports betters. After wagering a dime on 4 games, I asked him what this would be worth in comps. He said about $8.

To clarify: That is about $8 in comps for $4400 in action. Back in the 80's, the Barbary Coast would always comp a nice meal for me and my wife when I risked about a thousand a day in the sports book. Times have changed.
