I have thought about it before - even if you had it - you could only get so much action down before they stopped taking your action. Then you could in theory sell the info but would have to sell it to a limited group. I know there are a lot of outs but at some point you would dry them up. May be wrong but would find it hard to actually get paid $5b over the course of the year placing the action or having others place it.Comment -

You know who would buy it for huge coin?
A Vegas sportsbook.
They would know outcomes of games and set lines accordingly
Casino know Giants are only going to win a game by 5
NYG - 7 everywhere but the casino with the book
That sportsbook makes them 6 juiced or 6.5 juiced
Take a ton of action
A few cents off prices in every sport for 2 years...
Just rake in the cash
Occasionally set a line where the public gets some cash but then after some action move line to inline with other shopsComment -
Max offer. It's pricelessComment -
^ believe it or not, you can put a value on it. It's worth at least the size of all gambling markets combined. Then you can add all sports related markets, all pro organizations and teams etc. Then add all tv deals. Beyond this it will start to get complicated. You can start adding anything related to the production and executions of anything sports related, ie: the doctors that work with athletes, to the distributors that deliver the hot dogs, contruction co that build stadiums....THEN, you have to calculate the future value of everything combined.
The value would be huge. In the trillions(usd)Comment -
dumb as hell.
no matter the line public will bet both sides. and the public will get suspicious if the shaded line keeps winning and bet the other way. not to mention if it becomes popular the other 50+ casinos will follow suit and offer the same lines taking away bulk of their business. plus op said 2016 only which is just 1 year.
in other words u will be making chump change, not enough to justify the $1 billion+ price tag the book would fetch.
otoh if ur the bettor..... look up what even a paltry $10k 15 team parlay pays. multiply that by a year.Comment -
ud still lose at betting.....Comment -
You must be joking
You could make 500 million just by having half a point better on the losing side for the superbowl
Plus if you offer arb opportunities they won't care how your line is doing they want the sure thing and the money will pour in
What, you think after your leans keep winning people will say, "Oh he must have a sports almanac from the future I better bet the other side"

what if line moves to -4.5? he'd be stuck with +6.5 knowing if he moves line to -4.5 he'd take in both ends.
lol
$500 mil on the sb when the total wagered in vegas is only around $120 mil?
id love to hear how that is possible.
betting a few million each sunday would net over $1 billion over a year in just nfl. now add college football, nba, cbb, horse racing, golf, auto racing etc and ur looking at billions in profit.
only a retard would book while sitting on such a gold mine.

Doesn't matter what the line is moving to as long as you're favoring the losing sidewhat if line moves to -4.5? he'd be stuck with +6.5 knowing if he moves line to -4.5 he'd take in both ends.

Sure you have tourists who don't shop around but the big money will be on your good number
Actually I was talking about an online book. Why not do an online book, vegas book, and bet some of those parlays yourself too?
Maybe 500 million is steep for the superbowl. However, I think if you offer arbs on big games tons of money will come out of the woodwork that wouldn't normally be wageredComment -
doesnt matter. books shade halves all the time yet u still see close to 50/50 action.
and if the theres a dramatic line movement like the example i gave above (which always happens) he will take it in the ass.
why would any dope arb for pennies when u can make millions on parlays?
only a retard would risk booking especially since books have taken a beating in the sb losing millions recently.Comment -
after some time you would be hard pressed finding anyone who would take your action
u would however become the richest and best tout ever.Comment -
No not you arbing, offering the arb
Say you know Seattle wins the upcoming superbowl by 6
The consensus number is Sea -7.5 but you offer them at -6.5. Every bettor in Vegas would unload their bankrolls, half on +7.5 at other books, half on your Sea -6.5 number, and you make a killingComment -
only a handful of bettor even think to arb. it can even get you banned at most books. so lets say what you say happens (which is unlikely since most super bowls are blowouts).... you make a million dollars but what about the other 364 days?
even the most profitable books only make couple million per year. plus there's potential to losing due to bad lines.
otoh there's no risk to betting so why bother with booking?Comment
