If you ever bet sports, you are -50000 to have never seen this before.
Full disclosure. Don’t know Emily. Don’t know same game parlay rules either.
But man, this can’t be, can it?
What in the world is this???
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
Family in attendance, 27 year old Tyler Gilbert throws a no hitter in his first major league start!!
It’s the 4th time that has happened in MLB history!!
Baseball, bruh!!
Earthquake hits in Vegas. We pause at the counter. Guy says “give me the Reds for two dimes.”
Hold on a sec, I think we are having an earthquake.
“Well, print the ticket before the line changes.”
Just when you think you have seen and heard it all..
Story time from the book:
Four years ago today, I had a stroke. Blood clot on my brain. Unable to talk.
Wife & kids helped me, doctors & nurses saved me.
Woke up with a “new birthday” & an “unforgettable dream.”
GO HAVE A DAY TODAY!!
Blessed, lucky & grateful to be alive.
Story time from the book:
Met Daniel yesterday. He is the guy who did a $27 parlay that would win $562k if France wins the World Cup.
He took the buyout offer of $285k yesterday. We talked about the how, the why & the stress of it all.
Found it interesting to hear about..
I thought I was hot until I ran into the best beard in the park..
My man

Lemme get this straight..
You can only buy/sell one side of a stock after being able to do both everyday forever??
Is this like saying you can only bet KC-3 & not TB+3?
“I want KC-3”
Nope.
“Whadda mean? Why not?”
Too much action on it..but you can take Bucs..
WT actual F?
Story time from the book:
For the past 20+ years, I have spent the opening weekend of the NFL in a sportsbook, either as an employee or as a customer.
This year, we tried something different...
This past Sunday, I was on the 8th floor of a hospital in Las Vegas, watching..
THIS JUST IN:
Guy just bet the Yankees to win the World Series and the Florida Panthers to win the Stanley Cup
$20 each...
15 minutes before the Super Bowl
Can’t make it up...
Headed to get middle Consig after an absolute crazy day.
-Shooting at UNLV.
-Texting back & forth with her while locked in the library.
-Escorted out by a SWAT team.
There’s no playbook for this.
Hug your loved ones.
Story time from the book:
2.5 years ago, I had a stroke. Woke up & left the hospital 5 days later.
When I got home, Brother Doug called & said “I have cancer.”
Today, we got to be in the same place together for the first time since. Grateful.
Always forward, never straight!!
Little bro got big bro tonight in San Diego..
Aaron Nola K’s Austin Nola on three straight heaters with Mom and Dad in the stands..
And Dad with both jerseys on!!
Baseball, bruh..
Story time from the book:
Guy walks into the book. Says I want to bet a game..
Which game?
Eagles.
How much?
100.
Thousand?
Yeah.
You got it?
Right here. (Bag appears)
+2.5? (Head nod)
Count it. (It’s all there)
Print it.
Thanks. Merry Xmas.
What a life...
Story time from the book:
Have met and worked with so many people over the years in the book.
Some last a season. Some become lifers.
About 11 years ago, a young, wide eyed California girl walked into the book to write tickets.
The usual questions were asked, and man, she..
Five months ago today, I walked out of the hospital after having a stroke..
The celebration was epic..
Every day is special now, and I am blessed, lucky and grateful to ride with this crew everyday..
Happy Valentine’s Day from the Consig crew
Best bet I ever made..
Story time from the book:
19 years ago today, made the biggest bet of my life.
Had a beach wedding in the desert & started on this crazy life together.
In the book & in life, you need someone to see the things you can’t.
Three kids, thousands of stories &
feeling blessed!
Picture time from the book:
It’s football season. The numbers have been up for months. Got all the hats and shirts we need.
There’s one thing left to do..
FREE
@bubbagumpino
And as he says “Fins UP Lad”
Story time from the book:
Two years ago, I was sitting in a risk room in Las Vegas taking bets on a busy Saturday.
A pandemic, a shutdown, a lay-off, a recall, a business sale & a stroke 2 years later, and I am packing to go to radio row to do shows for Super Bowl..
A Super Bowl reminder for a Las Vegas trip:
-Highs are in the 50s, lows in 30s. Bring pants & a sweatshirt.
-Pools except Stadium Swim are not open.
-the books here do things different. Nobody gives a shit about your app or offshore.
-Tip everybody & it will change your life!
What happens when a smart guy figures out how to use the kiosks??
Lawyers gotta get involved 🤦♂️
An in depth story time from the book here ⬇️⬇️
Meet the Yale med student who made thousands — and then was banned from sports betting sites via
@ConnPost
Good morning.
Little Consig turned 9 yesterday. Birthday dinner was at Black Tap at the Venetian.
She teaches me something every day. Sees stuff that I don’t. Talks while I listen & learn a new language like Rosetta Stone.
Her parlay today:
“Burgers, fries & shakes, bruh”
Story time from the book:
Wrapping up an amazing week in LA for the Super Bowl media row.
All these years working in a book. First time ever being in the host city & getting to talk about it on TV, radio & podcasts.
Don’t stop dreaming. Don’t stop believing.
Good morning.
So, yesterday, favorites went 11-1 in MLB (one pk em), 3-0 in NBA (all on the road) & the people hit every NFL draft prop they bet.
Today, same said people are filing out the paperwork to start their LLC as a professional gambler.
Everybody knows shit today!!
Story time from the book:
Just took a call from one of the books...
“Have a guy here to bet the Redskins to win the Super Bowl for $500. Is that ok?”
Is he ok?
“I think so. Just want to make sure it’s ok.”
Hmm. Yeah. It’s good.
(Prints ticket)
“Guy said thanks”
What a biz
Story time from the book:
18 years ago, made the biggest bet of my life. Had never done it before. Seen family & friends do it w mixed results.
Sometimes, you just gotta make a play when you are “feeling” it. Just go with it & see what happens.
Blessed, lucky & grateful!!
Picture time from the book:
Nine months ago, I got knocked down & had a stroke..
Today, I ran up the Rocky steps in Philly..
Rocko said it best.
“It ain’t about how hard you get hit. It’s about getting up.”
Everybody is goin though something, keep punching
Was asked to sum up sports betting:
30 years of experience. 52 yrs alive.
Pittsburgh. Caribbean. Phoenix. Las Vegas. West Virginia. Las Vegas. A hundred roles. Gaming hearings. Panels. Sales pitches. A near death experience.
Only one truth in all of it..
Nobody knows shit.
Story time from the book:
Coming up on 3 years since the stroke. Doc said “Go live your life. Enjoy your family. Cherish time. Just listen to your body. But you gotta stop playing hockey.”
Skates are tight but we up & movin today.
Sometimes, you just gotta skate!!
HAVE A DAY!
Good morning. I LOVE THIS!
Watch this video, then tell me again how anybody knows anything about what is going on during a football game other than the coaches & the players
Outstanding stuff.
Sports, bruh!
Picture time from the book:
She doesn’t have twitter, she doesn’t bet on sports & she doesn’t watch sports. But today is my mom’s birthday.
She wasn’t coming to Vegas & not coming to a book. An in person visit instead.
“Put that on your twitter & stop sayin bruh”
Mom’s know!!
Story time from the book:
Some of my favorite places to be are places or venues where people are just people..
Ballgames, the beach & yes, the sportsbook..
People can be just people..
Famous, rich, smart, sexy, doesn’t matter..
Today, I woke up & heard that Larry King died..
The Orioles won their 8th game in a row today.
If you would have started the streak with $100 & rolled it over, you would have $23,873 today..
And you would be full of shit unless you have Biff’s Almanac..
Baseball, bruh!!
Story time from the book:
You know, Nobody Knows Shit
But sometimes, you really get it right or you really get lucky in the book.
Hit the ALL button on top for the first time ever. Wore a Derby hat.
Like Trotter said..
“We are having a very good day!”
Story time from the book:
You all know the importance of the number 3 when you make a football bet.
You wanna lay 2.5 or you wanna take 3.5. We have all heard 3 is a key number.
Today is officially 3 months for me to the day since I had a stroke that changed my life..
Story time from the book:
Two years ago on this day, I was laying in this bed. Writing, thinking, waiting to find out when I was going home after having a stroke. The Consig women saved my life.
Blessed, Lucky & Grateful today. Thank you all for being part of the journey!
Story time from the book:
Two years ago today, they walked in the risk room & told us “we’re closed. You can call unemployment starting Sunday. We’ll let you know if or when we open again.”
Remember thinking it was over. Little did I know it was just beginning.
Life, bruh!
Pittsburgh kid from Plum gets THE BAG!!

@HammerDAHN
boys
Thank you for WHAT you do & even more for HOW you do it!
KEEP IT MOVIN!
I had butterflies like a 16 year old kid calling a girl for the first time...
The phone rang, and Mrs Consig clearly didn’t recognize the number...
She answered hesitantly..”Hello?”
“Heyyyyyy”
[more to come later]
Picture time from way back:
Goin through some old stuff & found my first ever employee badge from the intern days in Pittsburgh!
“Bruh, you really did have hair.”
“The kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” Bear Bryant said.
Looks like Brian Daboll cares & the players know when everybody is DANCIN!!!
Sports..are..tremendous..
Story time from the book:
People ask me all the time “What is it like to work in a sportsbook?”
People assume it must be great because “you sit around and watch sports all day.”
Yeah, you do, but that’s like saying a food server working in a restaurant gets to sit around...
Time to go out and welcome
@CircaSports
to Las Vegas with Mrs Consig...
2nd date night of 2020!!!
Consig kids seal of approval..
Night just getting started..
Story time from the book:
Overheard from some of the top staff...
“If Houston wins this game, nobody is going to have anything left to bet the Seahawks/Packers game”
He ain’t lyin...
THIS JUST IN:
Books have Ohio St -13.5 or -14
Looks like a “ninety percenter” where 90% of the bets are on one side (Ohio St)
Classic parallelogram vs rhombus matchup..
Every book in the world will need Minnesota
They might win, they might not cover
“Nobody knows shit”
Mattress Mack “bet” $3.1M dollars on TCU to win on Monday.
And all I could think of:
-Should he be driving a lambo?
-Is it cold enough for that coat?
-Where did he get the lid???
Watch the “hype” video ⬇️⬇️
Seen a lot of bad beats over a few decades..
This is one of the grossest ones EVER..
Math guys, you can figure out what the odds were of it happening..
Story time from the book:
20 years ago today, made the biggest bet of my life.
“If we can’t go to Curacao, let’s do a beach wedding in Vegas. You been a best man 7 times. No suits.
Pgh. Curacao. AZ. LV. 3 kids. One dog. Blessed, lucky & grateful!
Anniversary -50000!!
Story time from the book:
The NBA makes its return to games today. Bettors and sportsbooks all over are excited for the action.
Sides, totals, props, and parlays will be flyin, and last second shots or dumb ass fouls will decide wins and losses...
With all the teams and the...
Good morning..
Just a Monday reminder that oddsmakers made Ohio State -7, got bet up to 8.5, & went back to 7. Bama was -18.5, and won by 2.
Steelers were +3.5, went to 4.5 & got bet, a lot.
Still looking for the truck that bet the Rams in GB..
Say it w me:
Nobody Knows Shit
Picture time from the road:
Spur of the moment Spirit red eye across the country..
90 minute drive..
Show up for a surprise pregame before a 🥎 doubleheader..
“Bruh, what are you doin here?”
WATCHIN SOFTBALL!!!
Good Friday morning!!
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..
Story time from the book:
Thanksgiving is a special day.
Always has been about family, friends, food & football.
Another year, another photo shoot & another year to say thank you & happy Turkey day!
“Bruh, it’s time to eat. Grandma is gonna be mad. Let’s go.”
The kids know!!
Picture time from the book:
Another year in the sun. Another year as a dad, a husband, a son, a brother, a coach & a friend.
From Pittsburgh, PA, to Curacao, to Phoenix, AZ then Las Vegas, NV
The hats, the stories & the memories is a helluva parlay.
Blessed, lucky & grateful!
Still one of the best pizza places in the country (in Pittsburgh)..
West Coast is the best coast for watching sports, but the East Coast is the favorite when it comes to pizza..
Happy Holidays from our family to yours. Enjoy the games, cherish the time with your family & friends!
“Bruh, you gotta wear the hat all day. Mama said she is rooting for the Chiefs. The Nickelodeon game is mid.”
The kids know…
Picture time from the book:
Mrs Consig & I have seen a lot of events at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas..
This morning, we get to watch our oldest daughter graduate from high school
Special day to say the least & I wore my special occasion hat
“Keep it together, bruh”
Picture time from the ballpark:
First time in Seattle for the kids, and they get a ball during BP!
“Cool, bruh. When are we getting ice cream in a helmet??”
You already know..
That’s a -50000 YES
Almost time for baseball, bruh!!
I give the horse guys a tough time, but they usually are the best characters..
Rest In Peace, Larry from Brooklyn
I hope you catch that late double..
Not just another day in the book..
After 14 months of battling cancer like a true fighter, my great friend of 30 years,
