Point spreads too confusing? Never fear, the Money Line card is here—and only in Las Vegas. Forget the points, just pick the winners and sit back and enjoy the show. “You pay ten bucks to go to a movie that lasts an hour and a half, and if you like the movie or not you are out your $10,” says Walker. “But come to the sports book, play ten bucks on a game that lasts three hours, and if your team wins, not only are you not out your $10, you make money! Relatively speaking, the sports book is a cheap form of entertainment.”

Women are not only welcome in the sports book, they represent nearly half of the clientele. “The ratio today runs roughly 60/40 men-to-women,” says Walker. “More and more women come, stay and play. They are no longer just asking questions for their intimidated husbands and boyfriends.”

This could ignite a trend in marriage counseling: sports book couples therapy. After all, the family that plays together, stays together.
