They said on ESPN Vegas Profited 64 million off that Steelers/Chargers Call

[rm18]

That would translate to as much as a 500 million dollar swing for online books?

wow, I did notice Costos on NBC last night try to mention something about the effect of the game (related to gambling IMO) and cut cut off by one of the other dick heads

[Brock Landers]

i'm sure they didn't "profit" that much, and we can probably find out the real figure from Nick Bogdonovich, but what really happened was the difference between betters winning and losing was probably that significant, the "swing"

[krk1030]

I dont see the big deal, they have those swings on every game.

I dont see why this game would have more action than others, or a situation were an unusual amount was on pitt.

64million might be nothing in terms of total % bet

They just reported on OTL since that was the "featured game", there was around $20 million lost in Vegas.

i caught that also when he was talking about it.


about the figure saying vegas profited , seemed to me alot of touts were all on SD, or at least it seemed that way when i was skimming through another site that posts service plays earlier in the day.

I'm not sure really what the terminology "featured game" means to them, but if they mean "circled game," it means the books take less action on the side and total. I've never seen a game here where they take more than the posted maximums by default.

Its just a high profile 1pm game, got tons of action (70% of public was on Pittsburgh) and the NFL/Vegas Rigged the game to profit.
