What do linesmakers make in their own $$$?

A few random but intersting questions:

> anyone have any idea what a linesmaker, say at Pinnacle, would make in a year as a salary or bonusable structure?

> how about one of the top LVSC guys?

> are linesmakers allowed to bet at their own or other books?

To be honest I don't know about what the top LVSC or Pinny guys make, I'd be guessing. I know your average sports Bookmakers in my part of the world make around 50-60K (before tax). They are allowed to bet with other books, but not their own.

Bill Sadlier from Bay Village, OH(of Dr. Sam Shepard Murder Case fame) was Sportsbook Manager at Harrahs-Reno back in the early 90s.

His pay stunk...he got no tips.

His subordinates had a certain time limit to get out of casino after shift ended...

..not allowed to bet at Harrahs on ANY table games or slots.

I never asked about seeing shows..outside of Tahoe...Harrahs-Reno had the only good shows in town(Susan Anton...Roy Clark, etc)

Don't know about restaurant dining either.

You can't be serious with this question.

Which linemaker would tell you how much he/she makes???

That's like asking Dr. J how much he makes from CM.

Don't hold your breath.
