Trying my hand at sporst betting

Guess what everyone!? I am going to Las Vegas this weekend! I am so stoked I can't believe it. I have never been so I am in for an experience. My girls invited me to go with them a few days ago so this is such a surprise and an unexpected delight. We got a hotel suite comped for a few nights but since there are too many of us we are going to split the other room which is fine. I have been studying up on the games in Vegas (well any casino) because I have no idea what to do. I am reading all about the betting odds for each game and how different the odds number of decks, for example, in blackjack mean goes up and down for a win or loss.

I know I will lose money but it will be fun anyways I think. My old boss wants me to place a bet on a game or two for him since it is March Madness. I know even less about sports odds so I am having him make me nice directions on exactly what to do. He does not do sport betting often but he figured since I will be in Sin City I may as well throw down for him. It's his deal, not mine. I will stick to the $5 blackjack and nickel and quarter slots. I did hear about the American Idol slot machines at one of the casinos so that will fun I think. I just have to see them.

I want to go to some shows to try and get me away from gambling but we will see how that goes. I know I will stay far away from poker as I am more readable than 24 point font is from a 10 inch distance. It is going to be so much fun; I love spring break. My nerves are setting in because we are leaving bright and early tomorrow and I still need to pack and clean since I am returning from Vegas then leaving the next day back to school. I will have some stories to tell I am sure. Hopefully good ones otherwise I will adhere to the what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas though I have a feeling since there is 16 of us going if I make a fool of myself everyone will know. Cameras shall not be allowed near me! Must go pack everyone! Hope you're break is as awesome as mine.
