CRIS supposedly started it, they had that big "meeting of the minds" and I remember Oly jumped on board with them. The first to do it were the losers in Vegas, I still remember Robert Walker whining about how can anyone expect him to make money on dime lines when he gets nothing but sharps betting on it. Amazing to think it wasn't all that long ago that the Mirage and Binions, along with the Stardust, were the centers of the sports betting universe. The very reason why I warn everyone that maybe not this year or next, but who knows a few years down the line where the top books of today end up. Hopefully we will all get plenty of warning signs if any of them start to go downhill.
