    Books Would Take a HUGE Hit if USA wins outright vs. Portugal
    The books actually need a heavy favorite to win for a change.

    Reports range From:

    Todd Fuhrman ‏<s>@</s>ToddFuhrman<small class="time"> </small> "There are more bets on USA money line than Algeria, Korea, Algeria-S. Korea Draw, Portugal and Portugal-USA Draw combined"

    To:

    "We're buried on <s>#</s>USMNT obviously. Trending towards a Monday Night football type of decision" - <s>@</s>DaveMasonBOL

        Any US born book that wishes US loss or draw should be stripped of his citizenship and sent to prison.

          And the worst part of it is that USA actually has a chance in this game. Normally, books would LOVE this position of taking advantage of unrealistic patriotism. This time it is not unrealistic for USA to win.

                        And a -120 is not a heavy favorite. Just small favorite.

                            True but USA is +320+ and was more than that earlier. Even the Draw has lower odds.

                                What are you talking about ? Bookies would not lose any money whatever the outcome is (1 or X or 2, doesn't matter for them, they win)

                                    They certainly lose when over 70% of the money is on a +320 (at least) that wins

                                          Portugal -117 is the play. USA is garbage, everyone getting in their homer bets.

                                              USA beat Ghana. Ghana drew with Germany. Germany destroyed Portugal. So of course USA could beat Portugal.

                                                  Yes, Portugal just started drifting up again. Went from -124 to -133 at Pinnacle in the last half hour, USA now +384 there. Still seeing 65% on USA overall.

                                                    USA is playing for the draw with the lineup. Donavon is telling it like it is. Portugal will likely dominate possession this game.
