Weekly Betting Roundup for January 4-10
B. Sharps / Head Linesman / Legends
The week started out with a good and expected win for the house as Boise came through to make the books very happy. Boise has cost us money most of the year but we waited and got our revenge, as the public loved TCU. Not to preach, but Boise – as most odds makers know – was one of the best 3 teams this year, it is just the luck of the BCS.
Tuesday the books did good, but not great, as most would think; there is a lot of Iowa money anytime they play and rightfully so, they perform well in these spots so the house made a little money.
Wednesday was a booking nightmare; the favorite (Central Michigan) landed on the number and went over. This was compounded by the fact that none of this was possible at halftime so the public made it possible and they were correct.
The big game, as usual, was not a big deal for the house. The house needed Texas and over, so we split. The game itself was ok and got exciting late but financially the books didn’t care much.
Friday, in the NBA, the house had a nice night with Washington, Atlanta, Portland and Denver all getting wins to kill any multi-game wagers.
Saturday shows up and we get Jets and over to put the books on their heels and then the public was kind of mixed on the Dallas game but they agreed on the over to have a big day for the bettors. Sunday was a bookmaker’s wet dream: Ravens and over, Arizona and over. The only flat bet loss was on the Arizona Green Bay game over; all else went the house’s way to cap off a good week for the books.
Good luck players; talk to you next week!
