    Default If the Colts win by 7, will many sportsbooks start packing their bags?

    You made a typo... you put "if" in the title instead of "when"

    I'm seeing just 52% on the Colts. I don't think that will break them.

    Action is even for the most part

    Books are going to pack up regardless of the final score.

    In the old days a push would be devestating.....however, props are becoming increasingly a larger part of the handle. Kenny White the other day said that props will account for about 30-35% of the expected record $100+ handle. That being the case, an INDY win would by 7 not be that bad today considering a lot of Bears backers will be on the ML and that a lot of Bears' backers/squares/tourists will get the +6.5 today as well.

    Best bet on the board right now is the INDY ML......

    Freebie, its really simple why " Indy winning by 7 " would be terrible for books.

    Here's why ? Many players buy down to -6.5 (they would win)
    Many players buy up to +7.5 (they would win)

    Teasers would also benefit (providing the total was near the number).

    Bottom line... any time a game lands on the number , the book loses LARGE....

    yeah...it's a bad situation for sure. I remember a few years ago when the TENN/STL Super Bowl landed on 7 books really took it that night.

    I think the even bigger issue is they make no juice on the standard bets.

    Since almost no one sells points, 90% of their customers tie, 10% win.

    Thanks for the explanation. I see this way the books loses both ways.

    Just watch out for them packing up and taking all the Super Bowl action with them, no matter the out come. Im really dreading Monday morning or Sunday night. I really hope these books dont scam a lot of people out of their money after the Super Bowl.

    onlooker,

    That is why that you stick with the best books, like thegreek, BetJamaica, BoDog, Wsex. The ones that has been around a while is the ones I am talking about. I wouldn't mess with anyone else at this time because of the times that are having now.

    Exactly.. We have to remember there is a lot of people out there who have no idea that the Greek,WSEX,Bet Jam etc are any better than any other book..

    God Bless everyone...
