Las Vegas sportsbook openers: Wynn Casino will again be 1st with college football lines

For the fourth straight year, the Wynn plans to be the first Las Vegas sportsbook to post weekly college football point spreads.

John Avello, the book’s executive director, says he enjoys being first. So do the bettors who line up at the Wynn to bet the virgin numbers that often move several points in the matter of minutes.

That’s why it’s important to be on time.

The Wynn will go up with college football opening lines at 3 p.m. PT on Sundays, which is generally when the late afternoon NFL games are at halftime. Most other books won’t post lines until Monday morning.
