Can you explain how parlays and teasers work when there's a tie? All the picks have to win to have a winning bet, but if you bet a 2-teamer, 3-teamer, or any number of teams and one of the results is a tie, what happens? And is the rule the same everywhere, or do you have to be careful before playing?

A couple of weeks ago, Fezzik referenced a "soft line" (vs. a "hard line"). Can you explain what this means?

I have to ask: What is Fezzik’s opinion on the Packers/Cardinals call? And further, what does he think about the D refunding Packer bets and William Hill following suit (sort of) with its no-juice on Packers bets?

Recently, in Atlantic City, I visited a new casino: Revel. The new hotel, which just opened this spring, is a giant, 59-story building right on the ocean. Other than that, it doesn’t offer anything that other resorts don’t already provide. Given the state of the casino industry, and Atlantic City’s shrinking fortunes, why would anyone invest in this type of project now?

President Obama spends a lot of time in Vegas. Does he gamble? Where and what games?

Does Fezzik watch the football games? Does it help?

Back in the '80s and '90s, casinos had slot machines that dispensed a silver/gold medallion imprinted with that casino's logo. I noticed they all started disappearing and now I can't find any. Are there any left?

In past years you did reviews and grades of the MNF parties at the adult clubs. Any plans on doing that again this year? I'm sure it must be miserable work (*wink*).

This is a follow-up question for Fezzik about last-week’s comment on the new owners of sports books. The day after the question ran, I went to the Venetian (a Cantor book) to bet BYU against Utah about 30 minutes before kick-off. They told me the game was off the board and they weren’t taking bets. No further explanation. I went across the street to Caesars and made the bet there. The writer at Caesars said once a game is up on the board there it doesn't come down. What happened at the Venetian and can we expect more of this from these new operators?

What is Fezzik's take on the entrance of William Hill into the market in Las Vegas? Will the two big dogs, Hill and Cantor, compete and create more opportunities? Will they monopolize the market and suppress competition? Or are there enough other books that things won't change that much? In a nutshell, was it a better atmosphere for bettors last year or today?
