How does betting on the superbowl work in Las Vegas?
Alright I'm going to Vegas and want to bet on the superbowl. How does it work, do I just put up let say 2000 and if my team wins I get total of 4000 back? What is this point difference everyone is talking about?Do they have to win by a certain amount of points in order for me to win?

Answer 1 :
Illegally. I don't think you should risk asking this on line.
Answer 2 :
yes right now as we speak the giants are up 14 to nothing , so the Pats have to win by 15 to win, In Vegas. You can bet on every thing from the flip of the coin to who is going to score first. Good luck Also I do not know how the odds work, If you put 2000 on the pats you might only get 1000 of the house money plus your 2000 back Giants win you might get 2500 of the house money
Answer 3 :
The point difference is what is referred to as a "spread." A spread is created to essentially level the playing field. As you are aware, most of the world considers the Patriots to be a stronger team overall than the Giants. Because of this Vegas oddsmakers want to make it a little harder to bet on them. Therefore, they might make the Patriots (-13). This means that before the game even starts, if you are betting on the Pat's, you are down 13 to 0. So the Pat's must win the game by more than 13 to win your bet. On the other hand, the Giants would be a (+13) so you would be up 13-0 when the game kicks off. The Giants don't have to win the game to win your bet, they just can't lose by more than 13 points. Another popular bet in Vegas is called the "over/under", This is a number that Vegas will come up with, and it refers to the total amount of points scored by both teams during the game. It's your choice to bet whether the total points scored will be higher than that number or lower than that number. In that bet, it doesn't matter who wins the game but rather how many combined points are scored when the final whistle blows.
Answer 4 :
You can bet straight odds at the casino (who is going to win the Super Bowl) which by now would only pay 1to1. (Bet $1000/ win one thousand). There are also tons of bets that play on score at each quarter, the spread at the end of the game, the number of touchdown passes Tom Brady throws and those payout odds are all set by the casino. The best Super Bowl bet is before the season starts. Different casinos offer different odds for each time to win straight up next season. Pick a team with a reasonable chance to win, but not the Pats since they will be favored next year. Then go from casino to casino looking for the best odds from the team you want to bet on. You want something like 10 to 1 ($10 for every $1 bet). You can go for a longshot of course, but you want something with a nice payout but an actual chance of a Super Bowl appearance. After the season starts, the payouts on Super Bowl change depending on who is doing well in the season.
Answer 5 :
Generally betting the spread is a -110 bet. This means you must bet $110 to win $100. So, if you were to bet exactly $2000, you'd get $3818.18 back if you won. If you want to bet WITHOUT the point spread, they give specific odds for either team to win. Last I saw, it was about +650 for the Giants and -800 for the Pats. That means if you bet $100 on the Giants to win straight up, you'd get $650, and you'd have to bet $800 to win $100 if the Pats won. When you come here, don't be afraid to ask the attendant at the sportsbook questions. He will explain any and all of the bets to you in detail if you do not understand. Good luck and have fun.

About how old do you have to be to work in Las Vegas Nevada

How old do you have to be to work in Las Vegas Nevada?
I'm only 14 and a freshman, but really anxious to work, so I was wondering if anyone knew how old you have to be to get a work permit in Las Vegas, NV and also if you know how you would go about getting it, that would be great. Oh P.S.: If anyone knows the age you have to be to get your permit to drive, that would also be appreciated. I appreciate any information you can give me. Thank you, Taylor :)

Answer 1 :
you can only work 16 hours a week 4 hours maximum a day need a workers permit in the state of nevada, you can get driver's permit at 15 and 1/2
Answer 2 :
14 or 15 with a worker's permit and there are a lot of restrictions that come along with this. 16 without a worker's permit, but a lot of places in town only hire at a minimum of age 18 and some places even 21. If you are 14, you would be required to get a permit to work- you can then work no more than 3 hours per day and not to total more than 18 hours per week. You have to be 15 1/2 to get a driver's permit. One of the biggest things you have to keep in mind is that the jobless rate in Nevada is over 14% and one of the worst in the nation. Who do you think is going to hire a 14 year old with no prior work experience, who has to depend on other's for a ride to work, and who can only work 18 hours per week? People with college degrees are bagging groceries in this town because there simply aren't jobs available. The odds of anywhere hiring you are slim to none. But still, it couldn't hurt to apply so you at least get the experience of filling out applications. Who knows if you'll get as far as an interview, but if you do, that would be a valuable experience too.

Answer 1 :
If not, it should certainly be a requirement since you cannot lawfully work in the US with a proper visa.
Answer 2 :
You need an E-1 visa in order to open a business. To get one you have to invest at least $500,000 in the business and create a certain number of US jobs. Otherwise you are not going to get one. If you can afford to invest that kind of money, consult an immigration lawyer. There are no casino jobs other than for world famous entertainers that need to sponsor immigration.

Answer 1 :
*face palms*
Answer 2 :
Zip..that's what your chances are. You cannot wok in he U.S. without a work visa, and that requires that you find an employer to sponsor your work visa. that happens only if you are highly skilled in a job for which an American citizen is not available.
Answer 3 :
Highly doubtful. The United States is in a recession, and 1 in 9 Americans are out of work. To legally work in the United States an American company would have to sponsor you because you have a job skill needed in the U.S., and there aren't enough qualified Americans to fill all the jobs. Currently to get a work visa you would need an ADVANCED degree, and years of specialized training in Medicine, Engineering, or Computer Technology. Trades/Crafts people (like marketers) will not qualify. There are too many unemployed American marketers looking for the jobs The U.K. has similar laws that prevents Americans from coming to your country and taking jobs away from qualified Brits.
Answer 4 :
Minimal. The economy in Vegas is the worst in the history of the State. The State, Clark County, Las Vegas and all surround cities have frozen hiring and laying people off by the hundreds. Business are open one day and gone the next.
Answer 5 :
You need a sponsor (employer) for a work visa - you can't apply for one on your own. http://travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html Check with US companies in the UK and UK companies with offices in the USA. For example, Hilton and Marriott hire international staff as interns. UK citizens can visit the USA for up to 90 days as a tourist, so you could travel for interviews & tests if necessary. https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/ http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/business_pleasure/vwp/i94_samples.xml Search "international exchange programs USA" and there should be many links to programs that offer temporary and seasonal work in the US. Examples are: http://www.ccusa.com/country.aspx http://yummyjobs.com/ Do carefully check any programs you might be interested in as not all of them are a good deal. Note that it is equally difficult for an American to move to/work in the UK. Good luck!
