Sportsbook Review: Planet Hollywood

If there was ever going to be a Sports Betting Hall of Fame, there are a few pieces of memorabilia that would serve as the facility’s cornerstones. It would want a betting slip from when Donerail won the 1913 Kentucky Derby as a 91-to-1 underdog — the longest shot to win in the race's history. Maybe organizers would throw in a seat from the Hilton, the whiteboards from the Stratosphere, or a mound of cigarette butts from just about any casino in town. The most famous item in sports betting history, as you might suspect, is located in Las Vegas. It's not in a sportsbook, though. It's tucked away on the 39th floor of the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. And even if you did end up grabbing it, you would need a DeLorean and Doc Brown to make much use of it.

Viva Las Vegas: Teasers, Take Two


Thinkstock.com

Last week, we introduced the art of the tease in Teasers 101. This week, we'll reveal some of the other teaser options.

The basic teaser option available to you is the one we covered last week: The two-team, six-point teaser. As a refresher, this bet allows you to add six points to the line of any two games you'd like in your favor, but you'll need to win both bets to get paid out at either -110 or -120, depending on where you place your bet. If you were interested in the Lions +2 and the Eagles -8.5 last week, a teaser would have allowed you to get them at Lions +8 and Eagles -2.5.

Fortunately, nobody we know would have made that their biggest bet of the week, right? Sigh.
