According to one guy who works in the business

The stage is set for the biggest betting weekend in Las Vegas. Tens of millions of dollars will change hands -- and that's just on the sold-out title fight between Floyd Mayweather and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.


Add in a college football slate highlighted by the most anticipated game of the season, Alabama at Texas A&M, and an NFL schedule capped by a prime-time showdown between Super Bowl contenders San Francisco and Seattle, and you have what 30-year Vegas veteran bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro calls "the perfect storm."

"In all my years, I've never seen a schedule that sets up so perfectly for betting," said Vaccaro, now working for the sportsbook at the South Point casino. "You can't put together a schedule like this. It just happens, and when it does, it's definitely good for business. It's going to be off the charts."
