questions about going to vegas sportsbooks for first time

A marker is a casino line of credit.

I've never gotten anything comped for a sports bet other than free drink tickets. I don't know how many high rollers the sportsbooks really deal with--the last time I was there, I cashed 4 or 5 winning tickets in the $300-$400 range, so with the original stake, the total paid out was something like $3500 or $4000. As I cashed the tickets the clerk let out a low whistle and the guy behind me in line said "Wow, nice hit!" which was really bizarre since the bets weren't even that big (not to mention they also didn't know how many losers I had, I could have easily gone 5-9.)
