    Books are running a business. They're employees demand a paychecks every couple weeks. They are not gambling.

    Books made over 5 million profit on a 94 million handle, I would say that was an extremely huge win for them. They had roughly a 6.5% hold on the game. For comparison -110/-110 and having perfectly balanced astion would give them a 4.55% hold, so they had around a -115 average hold. I would call that very good.

    Like I said you guys stick to making videos and pretending to be big time and let the actual gambling talk and industry theories be handled by guys who actually have a clue.

    Anyone who gambles and can look at vigs like this game had associated with it and thought that books didnt make money dont have a frigging clue as to what theyre talking about.

    Read the chat record that someone posted with Tony of 5dimes. You'll see that late money came in on New England and much more money comes in late.

    here’s no stopping Las Vegas.

    Nevada sportsbooks won $5,064,470 off of $93.9 million in Super Bowl wagers and have now come out ahead in 20 of the last 22 Super Bowls.

    The $93.9 million wagered at Nevada's 184 is the most in five years, according to numbers released by the Gaming Control Board on Monday. The $5 million won on the Giants’ victory over the Patriots crushes last year’s measly $724,176 books won on the Packers’ victory over the Steelers, but is the second lowest amount won since 2002.

    The books suffered their biggest loss on a Super Bowl ever in 2008, when the Giants' upset the Patriots.

    Books won 5.4 percent of all wagers placed on the Super Bowl. They had averaged an eight-percent rate over the last 11 Super Bowls.

    Nevada sportsbook results from last 12 Super Bowls:
