I was listening to the radio Friday morning and they had one of the head executives from the sportsbook discussing different Super Bowl wagers. I thought it was pretty interesting.
What I thought was interesting was the "prop section". Radio show host asks... "What is the most unusual or best wager for EV+ that most people wager on?"
LVH: We typically get quite a few people who actually wager on 1 team scoring only 4 points. He claims it has only happened once. And the odds are typically +999900 Risking $25.00 Wins $250,000. It's a nice payout for anyone who wins. And he claims he actually knows the person who won.
LVH: We also see 80% of our action on Saturday and Sunday for the Super Bowl. We try to lay a good line for the Sharks during the week because we know we're going to get pounded early. We also try to react quickly of the flow of money coming in during the last 48 hours. It's really tough to do but we do our best.
LVH: We also get a lot of bettors who wager on the OVER. It doesn't matter who's playing really... people just want to see a high scoring game. Furthermore, we've been burned in recent years. And we believe this is our year. The Public has won (as far as I'm concerned) the last 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls. I have a feeling that this is our Super Bowl.
I thought this was pretty interesting information. It actually was enjoyable listening to on my drive to work that morning. I'm kind of fired up! It was also interesting for the linesman to say... This Is Our Super Bowl & that The Public Has Won 4 out of the last Super Bowls. Is he referring to Baltimore being the Public Play?
