2nd half cut my losses in half...just didnt have all the prop money to make the night profitable

[Br0nxer]

had under 1st half and 2nd half

also giants for game

very profitable SuperBowl

[Coming Back!]

I find it hard to believe that the books made everything up with second half action. But, I could be wrong...

[Nick Papageorgio]

Please have this for march madness,or at least during conf. finals.

Surprised 2nd half action is comparable to full game lines. Aren't limits 1/2 full?

He had to
it was an embarrassment compared to DB tv
That canuck running the show over at db had to be breaking walker's stones every week

There was a lot of late money on patriots so books did not lose so much on side bets. Nice video, would be interesting to hear what pinnacle has to say about superbowl betting

well, say you have 60/40 money on the Giants/under for the game...but then you have 80/20 (or more, it was nuts) on pats/over 2nd half...your action evens out... from what i hear, not all places had late rushes of Pats money either...

[Nick Papageorgio]

I'm sure there was a decent sized crowd that got cold feet on their big game bets and hedged as well, wish this was talked about.

4 posters play at Legends

Carpe go after Bookmaker or 5Dimes for these interviews next year thanks pal

What he said about opening at 3.5 is the dumbest shit I've ever heard

The number is the number

If they opened at 3 they could've gotten hurt just as bad if it moved to 3.5

sunde I hear you man but doc is cool plus trust me he sees a lot of action on the credit side, RAS, billy, a lot of them, probably not everyone of course but a lot of them

not sure about the Russian or the South African or the Vietnamese but billy yes

[mathdotcom]

What about The Canadian?

[raydog]

the Mexican is the one Doc keeps an eye on... ... every weekend those boys fire down on him hard

[lukahh]

dont buy any of it.
books balance all action if their management is responsible one. live off the buy/sell price differential.

[wrongturn]

When we say books get "killed", to them, they only make little or no profit. But who cares, we are feeling good about it because it does not happen often. And many of us make back the loss of the whole season with one game. Yeah!

no, books do have exposure on many games/bets, and especially the super bowl

of course the odds are in their favor, and it's always much more likely that they will win than lose, but they can and do lose money on specific games, and they tend to be especially vulnerable on high-profile games like the super bowl, and if certain disaster situations happen (like this year if the Pats had won by 3) they can absolutely lose a ton of money

[BigDaddy]

what was the biggest bet that they booked?
