$150 million in gambling money estimated shifted worldwide based on that call

[ChalkyDog]

Per ESPN.

Pretty nice take, if you assume books were 70-30 Green Bay in action.

[d2bets]

If you include offshore, it's gotta be WAY more than that. Changed both spread and ML.

[milwaukee mike]

if you include locals it is probably more like $500 million

probably $20 million just in wisconsin

Fukk the NFL

[PAULYPOKER]

Corruption always was seeded deep within in the NFL,

The only difference now is the inexperienced referees being able to control the "FLOW".........


It is a goldmine out there boys,celebrate!!

Awesome, thanks bud. Heard it on my way to work, didn't look for a link.

I agree. Can you imagine if the books got the teasers too.

Wisconsin might need a bailout.

[thetrinity]

[tatommack]

Yi
probably $20 million just in wisconsin

This is more correct

[ChalkyDog]

Kind of amazing to see that kind of number world wide, on an American sport. Granted, NFL/MNF/Packers means a huge public audience - but I expect those kind of numbers associated with Soccer.

[sneakerhead]

With these kind of numbers, how hard it is to believe that these new refs cannot be involved in some fraudulent activities?

Absolutely.

Schmucks literally dragged off the street.

A guy fired from a lingerie league? C'mon - a wise guy getting a hold of one of these guys, or a whole crew is not even remotely far fetched.

I honestly think they're just clueless. They're not sharp enough to affect the outcome.

[TheMoneyShot]

More estimates are coming in... They believe if you include Vegas, Offshore books, and worldwide... One play caused a 300 million swing. It's absolutely incredible.

[RudyRuetigger]

clearly they aren't accounting for sbr points

[TheMoneyShot]

The media, that play, and money on one game... I believe the USA will look into gambling. A form of legalizing it. That play has been on MSNBC, Fox News, Detroit radio... (and this one show never talks about sports). Who isn't talking about it? This might be a blessing in disguise to legalize sports wagering in the USA.

They know they wont last here long enough given the circumstances, why not make a few bucks?
Due to the TD controversy, People are forgetting the phantom calls on the last few drives which helped them reach the endzone but too bad they could not capitalize even after getting 8 tries in red zone.

updated its closer to 1 billon worldwide

I want a refund

[Brock Landers]

I won on Seattle and I still can't believe they called that a touchdown

[TheMoneyShot]

I won on Seattle and I still can't believe they called that a touchdown

Keep the luck going Landers RIDE THAT HORSE!!!

[Statman]

I'm sure the next thing we'll hear will be the full background history on the ref who called it a TD and the black ref who did not call it a TD....Would not want to be either of those guys.

[showtiime]

no big deal

just a billy

[RavensFan2k3]

OMG I completely lost it ROFLMAO
