Cashing out for a while - Going back to Vegas next month! Thanks for a good year EOG!

It's been a good year for me and I've decided to cash out from the sports betting world for a few weeks so I can focus on a big trip to The Venetian next month. Thanks to the WNBA and a few runs with football and basketball, I am up over 8 units for the whole year with everything. This week seems like I have been getting the typical "signs" needed to cash out - including two back door pushes in the same week that could have easily been losses if I did not get the right lines. Remember - a push is as good as a reload. And two pushes is as good as a payout.

I remember what a rough start I had to this year. I lost a lot during January and Feburary. The highlight was losing with the Seahawks on Super Bowl Sunday and that same day I also got banned by Western Union. But around that time was when I first signed on with EOG and I felt having people to turn to here was what gave me the confidence to keep going. We all go through up's and down's and I feel we're all here to share each other's pain.

EOG also gave me the confidence to write up a lot of plays during the year. I had a lot of fun with writing up WNBA picks during the summer and then got into writing about the NFL and NBA also. My time spent "across the street" never resulted in that for years. That place has had it's changes but it was a rebirth for me here on EOG as both a sports gambler and contributor. And I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that EOG has gotten even more valuable for all of us as time as gone on. We have got everything here.

I am looking forward to visiting Vegas again next month. The Venetian is offering a great deal for me then that was too hard to pass up. But I need a big bankroll there because in Vegas you have to go with everything, and I mean everything, you can afford to lose. So I have to cash out from the offshore world for a while but will "reload" afterward and will be back before the Super Bowl for sure. For now, all I will have going are the bowl contests and any other little action that might come up. I look forward to still following everything here on EOG and will try to still contribute where I can.

I wish a Happy New Year to everyone here! Thanks for all of the support and keep getting those reloads in!

Thanks for all of the good wishes guys - it is much appreciated. We all make up quite a brotherhood here on EOG.

The trip to Vegas is just a vacation - and a much needed one. I have not been there for about a year and a half, but the Venetian continues to mail me some good offers. And after receiving a couple of years worth of offers, the ones at this time of year are a lot better than in other months.

Still not quite sure of the dates I will go yet but I'll know more soon. Just getting all the cash together now and planning everything.

So basically you're saying you're a ***** and you just want to lose your money in Vegas!

Good point to discuss, stuck. What it comes down to is that I felt the value of the comps that have been offered for this trip exceed the "theoretical loss" at the tables. It's unusual for that to happen but when you add up everything involved, I felt it was the case. And for a non-gambler, we're talking thousands of dollars needing to be spent for the same comped trip.

One question remains as to what would happen with the same bankroll if I continued using it for sports betting over the next few weeks instead of gathering it for the Vegas trip. With everything on the board each day to choose from at this time of year, it's always possible I could make more by just sticking with the sports - but it may go the other way also of course.

The comps for the trip at least let me have some sort of advantage - especially since I think they do outweigh the "theoretical loss" this time or at least make it pretty even. With the sportsbooks, there's certainly good bonus offers, reduced juice, etc. around but it will always be there. Since I have not been at the Venetian for over a year and a half now, I figure their good offers will not be coming much longer and that's the main difference here. The offers got sweeter the longer I did not visit, and now it's finally time to go for it.

So like Tom Cruise said in "Risky Business", "Sometimes you got to say what the fuck, and make your move!"

Re: Cashing out for a while - Going back to Vegas next month! Thanks for a good year EOG!

Thanks for all of the words of support guys. As it turns out, I didn't completely go through with cashing out yet. You know how it goes. My withdrawls all got sent to Neteller last week but I just couldn't bring myself to transfer the money to the bank yet. Instead I threw in some reloads to Pinnacle and have been making the bankroll grow a bit more! But I'll have to get it all out sometime next week for sure.

I was planning to head out to Vegas on Friday, January 12 because it happened to be my birthday then and I am off the following Monday for MLK. But I now have to move the trip to some other time that month and ironically I now have it changed to the same weekend as the EOG Blast on January 19. Gees, if I had planned better maybe I could have done the EOG Blast instead of this trip. But there's no turning back now.

And I guess with everyone in the Bahamas, someone has to be out in Vegas keeping the sportsbooks and casinos honest. What a worldwide force we will all be that weekend. The EOG steam will be felt everywhere!
