    The Bears special seems kind of tame I agree - moving the line from like 8/8.5 to 9.5 doesn't do much, not exactly common numbers. But the Dallas special is very very good value - I put nearly my whole balance on it, cmon Cowboys!

                  We already posted two NFL special lines early in light of the sportsbook error, and will do special on texas tech/texas on college. Stay tuned and enjoy
                  When can we expect to see the college special?

                        I see they took down Carolina ML and regular spread. Going to be a very nice middle if it hits.

                              Lots of us have probably some/all of our balance on Cowboys game, any way to make sure that game gets graded quickly (assuming Cowboys side wins anyway) so we'll be able to bet the college special also? Cowboys game likely finishes similar time as that game should start I think...

                                    Appreciate the offer, but unless it looks like the Cowboys side will win, taking a loan might be rather foolish. And if I take a loan and the second bet loses also, well going to be awhile before I can pay you back! But thanks for offering, depending upon the line, if I really want to take the risk on it, will message you.

                                            Two pick 6s in the first half including two interceptions on consecutive passes, this is pretty sick to watch. SBR - never knew you were this sharp!

                                                          Tough stuff SBR - this game has so tilted me that I've taken out a loan to chase on the other specials! If I lose both of those, going to be in big debt for awhile - this might be even worse than tilting at your casino as I've done a few times after bad losses!

I never came close to losing on a BJ special. Just because there's a sportsbook special, doesn't mean you're guaranteed to win like a BJ special (example Cowboys).

                                                                  Whoever voted for this, I'm ecstatic that SBR cleaned your clock on Dallas. Get smart & vote BJ next year!

Value is value in the long-term even if blackjack specials have much lower variance than sportsbook specials - you bet +EV things, in long-term you win, even if you have to take losses along the way.

                                                                    And main point is having a blackjack special for an hour or two, I think I'm far from only one who would rather not be doing that on Thanksgiving Day. Sportsbook special, you spend a few seconds making a bet, then you can do whatever you want rest of day (be it enjoying the game in question or whatever!).

Getting a couple free pts on a book special, won't even come into play on a special game's outcome majority of the time. Getting 3 free pts with Cowboys surely didn't change the outcome of a losing bet.

                                                                      I would much rather win a guaranteed 500+ on a BJ special, than taking a chance losing big on a coin flip book special any day.

The SBR sportsbook gave us Dallas +3 +100, when if we had had to bet the same line at a sportsbook the line would have been somewhere between -140 and -150. So betting 10000 points to win 10000 on that line compared to something which is roughly even EV that would instead be 14000-15000 to win 10000 on the same line, the former is insanely +EV, much more so than a guaranteed 500 point BJ special. Yes variance is high, but as a big time gambler as you claim to be, you should well know it's all about the long-term (especially considering the sportsbook special just requires a few seconds to do compared to spending an hour or two playing blackjack).
