"We took quite a bit of money on the Cubs, but I wouldn't say it was 'professional' money," Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming in Las Vegas, said in an email. "
At Cubs -120, we are seeing the well-respected action on Cleveland."
The sportsbooks at the Westgate and the Wynn also took early action on the Cubs, but the larger bets were expected to show up closer to the first pitch.
"We've been taking huge five-figure bets on both sides the last couple of games," Wynn executive director Johnny Avello said. "So where we are right now doesn't mean much."
