Death of Las Vegas Odds Maker

 Jackie Dell, whom is notorious in Las Vegas as an odds maker, has passed away at the age of 76. Dell worked with the Las Vegas Sun and was responsible for gaming events ranging from athletic events such as the NFL to who would be the next vice president of the United States. Dell died from complications to the heart at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Ohio.

The death of Dell is almost symbolic for the end of personal odds makers. With online casinos offering sports betting features, many have found the need to have an odds maker unnecessary. Some online casinos have even become exclusive for sports betting and they too offer odds on events from athletics to entertainment to politics. Regardless of that, Dell was an example to the online casinos odds makers on how to run the business. After spending so much time with the sports betting world, he made many of the unwritten rules that online casinos sports betting sites adhere to. Even land based sports betting sites and Las Vegas in general, had a lot to learn from Mr. Dell.
Dell was almost indirectly responsible for the people's interest on betting on politics. In 1992, Dell gave Bill Clinton 3 to 1 odds that he would win the presidential campaign. This was a popular sports bet and many fellow sports betting companies followed suit. They saw the success of Dell in regards to sports wager son politics and they realized that there was a real market to there for wagering on politics. The online casinos have learned the same thing and many (if not all) online casinos offer odds on US politics including future presidential nominations and wins as well as state by state specific activities.

Dell also realized the importance of advertising as he became a columnist for the Las Vegas Tribune offering writings on odds. Online casinos realize the importance for the sports wager to have content and they also offer advertisement and depth to this industry.
Online casinos have really focused on allowing their players to do what Dell wanted them to do: bet on whatever is of interest to them. Online casinos have noted that even as much as politics, online casinos sports betters are interested in betting on celebrity events. Dell's time did not see so much emphasis on celebrity betting but he perhaps dealt with a different crowd then those that wager in online casinos.

Odds makers such as Dell have found themselves in a position where online casinos can do what they are doing and not have to charge additional fees. The online casinos player simply puts in his or hr wager depending on his personal choice and on the posted odds and then waits to see the online casinos reported result. Odd makers had to charge a fee for this process and that is why many people have turned over to online casinos sports sites.
Regardless of sports wagering, Mr. Dell will be missed worldwide by many people.
