BetCRIS Weekly Review - July 24th, 2006
Looks like all that chalk last week didnt sit well with the books, along with Tiger winning the British Open. Seems like they cant wait for football either.
Weekly Review July 24th
An emotional Tiger Woods claimed his 3rd British Open title by 2 strokes over Chris DiMarco on Sunday. Woods started the tournament at +500 and was bet for a total of $10,000 and then at +450 for another $5000. Once we graded the tournament and with people betting after the completion of every round, we had approximately $50,000 bet on Tiger Woods alone. Ernie Els would have been a big result for us had he been able to win, with not many people willing to bet him at +1600. DiMarco was a huge +9000 but didn’t have much support until after the second round was completed where he was +2000. Round by round betting proved to be very popular, and with some of the money we had to pay out with Woods winning, at least the rounds betting helped us out a little bit.
Baseball was a good week for our bigger players with tow customers alone winning nearly $500,000 just betting baseball. Thankfully for us we had a few losing players to offset there big wins. Parlay bettors faired the worst this week betting baseball.
This coming week will see our revamped soccer markets with a much sharper hold percentage. The World Cup was terrific and we are committed to keeping our Soccer bettors happy with even more competitive pricing.
With only 2 weeks until the first NFL preseason game all attention will be shifting to Football.
Until next week,
Shane Catford
