Want to Bet on the NBA Finals? Don't Go To Harrah's

If you’re in Las Vegas and looking to place a bet on the NBA Finals that start tonight don’t go to any Harrah’s property. Stiffs and Georges reminds us why.

…you can forget about betting on Celtics games if you’re in a Harrah’s property because the company forfeited that sports book action so that CEO Gary Loveman could own a piece of the team.

I forgot about this, but it reminded me that I ran into this problem staying a the Rio a few years ago. A friend and I wanted to bet on the Celtics but the game was off the board. We ended up running to the Gold Coast to place our bets, but it was a bit inconvenient.

This isn’t the only casino with this problem. The Maloof’s on the Sacramento Kings so you can’t bet on the Kings at the Palms. At least you can still watch the Lakers beat the Celtics in any casino.
