Oh Twitter world. I just heard Lebron enrolled his kids at a school in Vegas. He might be suiting up for the @GoldenKnights this September.

As many of you know, we lost a great person today @BrianBlessing. He was a well respected journalist in the sports world. To many of us, Brian was a true friend. Our hearts break for Marie and the family. We are going to miss you my friend. RIP Bri.

Just heard this on the floor & you might want to pay attention it’s good insight. “When the dog doesn’t cover in the first game, they’re a good bet in the second.” I mentioned that wasn’t the case yesterday. He fires “only on Sundays”.

In Vegas, MLB Network aired the #rockies #dodgers game all the way to the bottom of the 7th & then the blackout kicked in. Nice work. #ridiculous MLB black out rules. Please change, sincerely baseball fans everywhere.

I would like to cordially invite @SenSchumer to Las Vegas for a tour of the @LVSuperBook and review policies/procedures of a regulated sports book. No joke. I would enjoy speaking with any decision makers concerning our operation.
.@SenSchumer releases suggested sports betting guidelines, encourages discussion in Congress, includes comment from NBA, MLB, PGA and American Gaming Association:

There have been many questionable, “meaningless”, last second shots over the years. There’s also a lot of people out there that think sports betting started 3 months ago. @DavidPurdum.

Spring ‘87. On Strip. ONLY ONE in book late. One game left on the board. Ask for $10 on Blazers. Guy barks at me stating “what’s the betting number?”. I say -10. Him “No! The betting number left of team!”. I won & it was the only time I was above .500.
How old were you when you made your first bet and do you remember the game?.

Memories. Me- “Son, I recorded the game don’t say a word!” Son- “OK Dad. I didn’t see any part of the game. I just saw them shaking hands.” Ugh. True fact. @GoldenKnights.

I see we have typical drinking patterns this morning for day 3 of #MarchMadness2019. Thursday morning - Beers. Friday morning - Bloody Marys. Today - Lattes. Tomorrow - double shot expressos are the 1-4 favorites. Good morning!.

Respect to @notthefakeSVP. In Gaming, it can’t be a subjective decision. The Vegas rule “tickets go as written” is a staple. We’ve paid out mistakes and guests have received the “wrong” tickets. Once they leave the window (or confirmed on mobile), it’s action. Long conversation.
I think in a few months, @notthefakeSVP will regret taking FD's side in the player vs. the book debate. This is an awful look for FanDuel and it leads people to wonder if he is in their pocket. He's not. But FD should have just paid this out once and corrected the mistake.

Instead of this head to head $10 million match between #Tiger & #Phil. Make it interesting and require 8 players to put up their OWN $2 million each for a match play winner take all event. #makeitreal @PGATOUR.

It’s official. We’re now accepting 2018 #SuperContest entries. Our good friend @brentmusburger was the early bird & got the worm today. @VSiNLive also joined us live at the @LVSuperBook. My guess is this year’s winner will win approximately $1.8 million!

I can’t thank our team enough. I couldn’t have done it without them. We have so many great people in our industry. I’ll always be thankful for all the support these tremendous colleagues gave me and my team.
Scenes from Sin City: It’s a who’s who of the sports betting universe tonight at Great American Pub @GAPLV, for @JayKornegay’s retirement party. Obviously lotsa @SuperBookSports folks, including @golfodds @vegasmurray @llased and the great Rosemary Rocco. @southpointlv’s

Woke up to an 8 team parlay this morning. A guest bet all 8 hockey games over in the 1st period. All 8 games had exactly two goals in the 1st period. $200 turns into $32K. #SportsBetting Congrats!👏👏👏.

Hmmm. 4K screens, 30K square feet, -108/-109 on football sides(best parlay payouts in town), drink specials puts #SuperBook right up there. Plus #FootballCentral in our theater guarantees fans a seat with over 1,500 seats. I might be a tiny bit bias. BUT, try it sometime.
Where's the best place in the Vegas Valley to watch football this season?.

You guys would have killed me with that over/under 2.5 I set for #SuperContest contestants that wouldn’t get their week 1 selections in. Ready for this? A total of 19 FAILED to get their picks in. ouch. Two Golds also took week 1 off. Wow.

Disagree with @KirkHerbstreit saying Penn St deserves to be in over Washington. Maybe they should just take Penn St (Champion) over OSU.

SB records set: most passing yds, total net yards, 1st downs passing, one punt, etc etc. Quote from earlier this week “I like the under 47.5” - me. That’s why I still punch in & out.

A big thank you to the good people of @WestgateVegas who have donated a large supply of gloves and masks to assist our health care providers and our community. Here’s a shot of our amazing team members receiving the donation. #stayhomefornevada #coronavirus
