Dear Mark, Who sets the line for football games each Sunday? Where do illegal bookies get their odds?

Drew M. Las Vegas Sports Consultants Inc. (LVSC), establishes the odds for more than half of the licensed Sports Books in Nevada as well as licensed bookmaking operations in Mexico, Europe and Australia.

It was founded in 1982 by Michael 'Roxy' Roxborough, who quickly became the predominate oddsmaker in the country. Roxy retired from LVSC in 1999 but is still very influential among the elite in the sports gaming industry. Contrary to popular belief, most Nevada sports books do not set their own lines since it is much cheaper to pay LVSC a licensing fee for their service rather than hiring internal linemaking expertise.

The line out of Las Vegas, or what the USA Today sports section cites daily, is usually what illegal bookies base their line on. Since transmitting gambling information across state lines for the purpose of placing or taking bets is illegal, what you see in USA Today or your local newspaper is, of course, for informational and entertainment purposes only, even though ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
