I think they'll probably get it back.

rm18 · 10-21-12, 10:43 PM

hope they do not stiff us it was too easy

TexansFan · 10-21-12, 10:43 PM

Books have done very well before this week though.

ttwarrior1 · 10-21-12, 10:45 PM

if history is right doesn't that usually mean they make up for it on mon night?

BigDeem5 · 10-21-12, 10:56 PM

This is sick.

Worst day for the books since, well, yesterday.

frostno98 · 10-21-12, 11:07 PM

Yes, that Steeler game bailed out alot of people who tried to double up taking the Patriots.

This happens more than you think.

Take Lions tomorrow, ML

A bad day for the books really isn't a big deal. Operators don't like it but they know it will happen from time to time.

This is like when the Casinos gets hit with a few big winners in the day. Doesn't matter they get it all back and a ton given back to them. It's going to happen some times.

From where I checked:

68% on buffalo, lost
69% on colts, won
87% on pack, won
82% on cowboys, won
81% on saints, won
66% on pats, lost
68% on raiders, lost
70% on steelers, won

Wouldn't call 5-3 "buried", but, the public won the largest lopsided games to be fair.

Besides, the public has been absolutely destroyed this season prior to this week.

mike-dub · 10-22-12, 02:50 AM

books did pretty good on Thursday

jjgold · 10-22-12, 05:10 AM

most teasers hit too

k13 · 10-22-12, 05:21 AM

Last I checked, bills did not cover, pats did not cover, raiders did not cover.

Lot of games were split anyway, ari/min, bal/hou, was/nyg

So a few fave's won big deal.

Maybe % wise but there was actually a lot of money on the Rams, Bucs, etc.

If they were so scared to take action on all those favorites, why did they not move the lines or make them bigger to begin with?

thetrinity · 10-22-12, 07:59 AM

Didnt really get killed on straight bets every easy tease fave won tho. Nyg,oak, min, hou. That had to hurt. Probably worst nfl day for them so far.

PAULYPOKER · 10-22-12, 08:04 AM

You can tell by all the threads popping up outta woodwork about square heads bragging over their recent profits......................

BTP picks for Sunday: 1530-1096-66 58.26 %

Books are never happy when they get beat up, however history will continue to repeat itself. Almost everybody eventually loses at gambling, people are very weak and undisciplined. Although few will admit to it, most gamblers put their short term ego needs ahead of long term success.

Yea, players were due to finally win some. Players did really well on exotics and college. The Giants and NE endings were great for players in general.

There were a few seasons where the books just kept losing to players for months. It's a streaky game. That's why it's important to stay with books that operate as a business and have been around a long time and didn't spend their September profits on sports cars and girls.
