Sportsbooks reporting a poor May. Congrads to the players.

Year-round baseball.

I'm up for that.

Don't forget NBA. More people bet on an NBA playoff game than the whole baseball card.

What does it mean. Do they only earn less or do they really lose?

Well who asked them to put Cavs @ 9.2 (euro odds) when series was tied 2:2? If you put line like that for a huge NBA playoffs market, don't be surprised about losses.

I just think with less volume, it's harder for the books to not be so exposed to big hits...traditionally, these months are slow for all books...

thats really good news for the players. you gotta love it when the players whip the books like they did

I am sure books aren't losing to much sleep since players will be giving it all back and more in the months to come.

This does explain the increase in complaints at BetOnSports for cancelling winning wagers.

**SBR_John** · 05-30-06, 03:37 PM

Complaints will certainly rise if the players keep it up.

I would be curious to hear the answer to that question.
