Here's the story...

Monday when Potato came back from visiting Tomato, he cashed out a ticket that had been in his wallet for a few weeks. That ticket was UConn ML (vs. Arizona) and he needed to fill out ANOTHER W-9 to cash it (remember, he filled one out after BYU vs. Gonzaga). Since then, Potato has been wagering $500 a unit at Stations and had a "hot week". He made approximately 4 grand this week pending a few bets.

He made a few wagers today at Sunset Station, not his normal shop (GVR) because the traffic around the airport at 3 PM was rough. He didn't see anything, so he waited till NBA 2nd halves to bet. He took Philadelphia 76ers +4.5 and Under 91 for $500 each (both likely losers). Then he sees MASSIVE steam at Pinnacle on his cellphone so he goes back up to bet $1100 on the over. They yell "key" and only give him $500. He takes it and essentially says "enjoy your $50".

Just as he's sitting down to watch the rest of the MLS game, he hears his name being called to the managers window who says "I just got a call from Red Rock and you are only allowed to come up here 1 time a day from now on". Potato is stunned, for he is betting essentially peanuts in the grand scheme of things and has only been doing so for a month or two. He was betting about 5-10 wagers a day at $500 units and was JUST about to get his President Card in another week or so. So he decided to come home and rant about it on a message board, just cause.
 
Well of course Potato is going to lay off seeing how he has one fucking trip to the window a day.

He actually got beat up tonight: 76ers 1H +3 (W), 76ers 2H +2 (L), 76ers under 186 (L), and has the Padres ML +110 and Padres +1.5 (-160) remaining.

Whatever, they're bankrupt and going under.

That's what they get for offering SIA / BetEd lines.
 
The reason that they have great lines is because they cut winners. I think both Reno and myself warned you that this was inevitable. You did exactly what you shouldn't do there. Wanna get 86'd from Stations real quick? Hammer them every day.
