Upon entering the crowded bar, TheRaven notices the faces of some of the most respected mafioso in all of America. After ordering himself a drink, he asks the batman to turn off the music and allow him to address the bar.

Friends, respected colleagues and general dregs of humanity, I would like a moment of your time. I have recently come into some property in the City of Las Vegas and have established a small betting shop. It is my hope, with your custom, that I can grow this business into a nationwide conglomerate, with franchises in all of our fair cities. Until then, I invite you to frequent the inaugural Emerald Isle shop in Vegas, offering the latest odds on a variety of sports spanning both this nation and our friends across the Atlantic. 

Make sure you drop by on your next visit to the city of Sin, and thank you for your time.

TheRaven tips his hat in thanks to his audiences and strides back off towards the bar for another drink.

...really?

You must be in disbelief at the great odds and friendly service offered, but yes, really

ThirdSun, I fail to see your issue here my friend. A businessman has walked into our streets waving a banner for his most recent venture and offered you the chance to come and stop by. Hardly anything worthy of such a shocked outburst from yourself.

I'm sure you meant no offence by your expression of shock.

Actually, I was in shock at the mere fact that I had discussed heavily with an old friend in Las Vegas about the same concept. A blackjack manipulation and card counting organization...

I'm also shocked.  I talked to a friend about opening a jazz club.  Two weeks later someone opened a mechanic shop.

Sneaker hears of a new business in Veas. She makes a note of it and plans to visit soon.

Betting and sports plus vegas? I'm there

Im not shocked... Talked about taking a nap and bam! I did'nt nap... go figure.

Per our conversation Raven - I'm looking forward to your Super Bowl betting schedule. See ya then.

I hear that Sal...got good money on the Patriots.

Are we hedgehogs collecting golden rings on the third sun??? No! We are hedge hogs collecting golden rings on emerald isle. Start the party!!

*zooms off to vegas**
