SO how far out can one place a bet? How long do you have to collect?
Wow I would have to tell my boos Im taking a few days off. LOL.


You can bet the game as soon as the "book" post the odds. Typically just prior to the season starting in NFL, NBA and such. Odds change as the season progess'. Not sure how long you have to collect ( I would guess atleast 6 months if not a year)

Your boss would probably take the news of you taking time off if you offered him to go along!

Ah okay as I did not know and MR MLLV thought the bet had to be in a certain time frame, like a few weeks ago prior to the game.

They call these types of bets "futures". They have the odds posted on the big boards or on sheets of paper in the sports books in Vegas. Before the season event starts you can bet things like which team will win the superbowl, down to which division will produce the superbowl winner. Closer to game day they offer the silly bets like how will the first points be scored: touchdown, fieldgoal or safety; who will win the coin flip, etc.

Many books have cut down on the time you have to redeem tickets. A decade ago, a year was common. Now many places limit it to 90 days. You can redeem them via mail, so you don't have to make a special trip.
