Either team, over, under, makes no difference all teasers hit.

If you were worried about the health of your man, be real worried now.

It's extremely tough for books to lose money on the SB. EXTREMELY.

Books did VERY well today. If you think otherwise you are clueless.

Books took in a ton of $$ on Cardianl ML which was a loser big time for bettors. Every Sportsbook Manager here in Vegas were saying the same thing. I think the books did just fine.

Books took a lot of Pitt -6.5 and Ari ML, plus all the props. Books raked it in.

I cant speak for anyone else, but we did well on the game.

We took maybe, 58% of ML bets on Arizona while the Spread + Total were pretty much 2 way action - no more than 53/47% anyway, and even those slight leans were Pit -6.5 and Under 46.5 so we still nicked a bit.

And that was before taking into account what we took on Props and then throughout In-Running trading as well - where most everyone was backing Pit and the Under throughout the game, leaving us with a nice position by full time.

Would easily imagine a similar situation with a lot of other books as well - like another poster said its very tough for a book to lose big on the Superbowl, and even if they do lose (like last year!) then they rarely lose enough to worry too much about...unless they are a cowboy outfit or small local...

You said it, I bet it $$$$ Dumbest bet on the board was Zona ML as the books who were offering + 180 were simply stealing. Ice told everyone, You told them as did I several times. Over the long run you can't go against Math ! It will beat you in the long run.

This is pretty much what i was going to say. I know a few people who bet AZ ML , I didn't know they knew what a money line was.

Watched the third Q in a poker room sitting next to 6 70 yr old guys who all had AZ mostly on the money line. Squares will always find a way to lose.

No way. I can't remember any time that the books took a bath with a team favored by less than 10 winning but not covering where the spread only moved a point.

I could see small-time Phoenix area locals hurting, if they sat on too much homer action, but not the books as a whole.

It's one game.
