This years Super Bowl opened with the Patriots a 3 ½-point favorite and quickly went to -3 and based on the way almost every book has -3 (EV) posted, it looks as though we could be seeing -2 ½ quickly, but Cantor Gaming sports book director Mike Colbert hopes it doesn’t and based on past history, it probably won‘t.<br /> <br /> “I think 3-flat (-110) is the perfect number that the betting public understands,“ said Colbert who opened the Patriots -3 (-115) and is currently at -3 (-105). “I’m hoping we get balanced up enough to where we can go in to next week with a 3-flat.”<br /> <br /> In recent history, we have seen four of the five Super Bowls that have landed on 3 occur and they all involved the Patriots. In each of their games, the spread never came into question as they were 14-point dogs to the Rams, 7-point favorites against the Panthers and Eagles and 12-point favorites against the Giants. <br /> <br /> “I’m superstitious, so now I’m really not getting off the number,” Colbert said jokingly after told about the Patriots love of 3 in the Super Bowl. “Obviously we don’t want a push, but until we get overwhelming support for the Giants that puts us in too much jeopardy, I’m staying on the number.”<br /> <br /> “We got early action on the Patriots because we opened lower than what the market had, but since then it’s been all Giants money. However, I do think it will even out because the Patriots have been a public team, along with the Packers, all season.” <br /> <br /> 13.9 % of all NFL games this season landed on 3, including both Championship games on Sunday. The sports books want a decision in the game, but not at the risk of putting their property in harms way. <br /> <br /> The last two Super Bowls that ended in pushes were the Rams (-7) beating the Titans 23-16 and the Packers (-14) beating the Patriots 35-21. In each case, there were lines a mile a long with everyone getting refunds. The books all ended up small winners due to propositions and OVER-UNDER wagers, but a decision with the type of volume that happens in these games is what they want, because it’s very rare that the books lose the big game.<br /> <br /> But messing around with a key number can get a book into serious trouble by either getting sided or getting middled like happened in the Super Bowl following the 1979 season when the Steelers played the Cowboys. Jimmy Vaccaro was just getting started in the sports book business at the Royal Inn and remembers it being a real education into bookmaking.<br /> <br /> “You have to remember that things were much different back then. Most of the casinos in town didn’t have sports books, there was no internet and most of the betting people did from outside the state was through bookmakers,” said Vaccaro. On the east coast, many of the bookmakers knew people were going to bet the Steelers so they were making bettors lay -4 ½ with Pittsburgh. On the west coast, many of the bookmakers were operating with a line of -2 ½ because of knowing they’d get Dallas money.”<br /> <br /> So Vaccaro knew what the market was on each side of the coast and had to set the line for his book. The Steelers were two-time Super Bowl champions and the Cowboys were America’s team who had won the Super Bowl the previous year.<br /> <br /> “I opened the Steelers minus-3, got as high as 4 ½ and finally closed at 3 ½. Some of the little bet shops around town were also offering a promotional deal to create more business to their place by offering the Steelers at -3 ½ and Cowboys at +4 ½. None of us thought the game would land 4, but you know how the rest of the story goes.“<br /> <br /> Steelers 35, Cowboys 31.<br /> <br /> “It’s never a good thing when your paying everyone as winners or giving their money back on a push,” said Vaccaro. “And back then we didn’t have computer systems to quickly generate an overall win-loss result. I knew the figure was going to be bad, but I had to wait and hand grade every ticket and it over four hours until I was able to give a final answer to Michael (Royal Inn owner, Michael Gaughan, current owner of the South Point).”<br /> <br /> “We had lines of people backed up all the way to convention center drive waiting to cash,” said Vaccaro. “It was a great baptism into bookmaking and a lesson very well learned.”<br /> <br /> Although there aren’t many current bookmakers around who actually experienced the sting of that day, they all know the story of what happened on the fateful day known as ‘Black Sunday‘. With a little history lesson intertwined, it’s quite understandable to see why we may never see the Patriots game drop below -3, no matter how much money is attached. <br /> <br /> With the way the action is currently going, we could see Patriots -3 (+115) before someone finally makes the move to -2 ½.. 99.9% of the action on the game is still to come, so each of the books in Las Vegas have plenty of time to make their move without getting stung too bad by getting middled or sided. But no one wants to be first. If making a guess on who might be first in Vegas, it would have to be the South Point which only uses flat (-110) numbers.<br /> <br /> We’ll keep you updated along the way as it happens.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-4472557839461050222?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5hITExqSOMnho4cbO3u5FFimtE4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5hITExqSOMnho4cbO3u5FFimtE4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5hITExqSOMnho4cbO3u5FFimtE4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/5hITExqSOMnho4cbO3u5FFimtE4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/I8Jz2TgJ3go" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2012/01/sports-books-being-careful-with.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-45558116187726982412012-01-20T12:42:00.000-08:002012-01-20T12:42:35.846-08:002012-01-20T12:42:35.846-08:00<a href="http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/story.cfm/story/1227684">NFC &amp; AFC Championship game moves from Las Vegas Sports Book</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-4555811618772698241?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WZqZu4yTA7l3DzihVwwDPy2XsHg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WZqZu4yTA7l3DzihVwwDPy2XsHg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WZqZu4yTA7l3DzihVwwDPy2XsHg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/WZqZu4yTA7l3DzihVwwDPy2XsHg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/FnQT6puY5VU" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2012/01/las-vegas-money-moves-at.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-65498264785238779422012-01-13T17:24:00.000-08:002012-01-13T17:24:08.666-08:002012-01-13T17:24:08.666-08:00<a href="http://gamingtoday.com/articles/article/34358-NFL_playoffs_Books_Tebowing_that_Broncos_go_down">NFL playoffs: Books ‘Tebowing’ that Broncos go down | Race/Sports | Gaming News</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-6549826478523877942?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Qk-0jTeoUYUbe5Vn-cRhH-mVz1c/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Qk-0jTeoUYUbe5Vn-cRhH-mVz1c/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Qk-0jTeoUYUbe5Vn-cRhH-mVz1c/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Qk-0jTeoUYUbe5Vn-cRhH-mVz1c/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/dA4ovIjCXA4" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2012/01/nfl-playoffs-books-tebowing-that.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-71501013139293809962012-01-05T16:04:00.000-08:002012-01-05T16:04:17.184-08:002012-01-05T16:04:17.184-08:00<a href="http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/story.cfm/story/1221011">College Football News: Parlay cards hurting books -

The Texans (15/1) will be without Matt Schaub for the remainder of the season as will the Bears (30/1) as they make their journey without Jay Cutler.<br /> <br /> On a lesser note, the Chiefs (1000/1) will have to try and win the AFC West without Matt Cassel as they sit two games behind the first-place Oakland Raiders (20/1) with their newly acquired Carson Palmer. They’re only two games out of first place in a division that looks to rival the weak NFC West of last season where an automatic playoff position could be reserved for a .500 team or worse.<br /> <br /> Quarterbacks make the league and despite all the rules in place to protect them, we currently have two legitimate teams that were candidates to win the Super Bowl in jeopardy of not even making the playoffs now. The Bears immediate plans have Caleb Hanie making his first NFL start Sunday at Oakland while the Texans will rely on Matt Leinart at Jacksonville.<br /> <br /> The Bears were looking at being a small favorite at Oakland, but when news of Cutler’s broken thumb came out, sports books overreacted with the number and made Oakland a 5-point favorite. Cutler is worth 3-points to the line, but to suggest he was worth 6-points was a bit ridiculous. Most Las Vegas sports books currently have the Raiders as 4 to 4 ½-point favorites which is still giving Cutler a little more credit than deserved. <br /> <br /> The feeling with the Texans is that Leinart should be okay with the best offensive line in football to go along with Adrian Foster. Schaub has taken a back seat this season to Foster and the running game. Not having Andre Johnson to throw to for the last few weeks has made it unnecessary to throw like 2009, but even with Johnson in the lineup the Texans were still geared towards the run.<br /> <br /> The Texans opened as 3-point favorites this week at Jacksonville and have been bet up to -3 ½ with most of that a testament to how the Jaguars have played under their rookie QB Blaine Gabbert. Basically, Gabbert appears lost in the NFL set.<br /> <br /> Both the Bears and Texans may have found some relief with a proven NFL quarterback being tossed on waivers by Denver with Kyle Orton. The Chiefs immediately claimed him and hope that they can go into their AFC West division battle with someone other than Tyler Palko.<br /> <br /> However, the Bears would seem like the perfect fit for Orton to keep their hopes alive for post-season play and a shot to take down the Packers. Caleb Hanie did well for the Bears -- making a game of the NFC Championship, but the organization has to realize that the future isn’t good with him which is why the Las Vegas Hilton Super Book raised the Super Bowl odds on Chicago from 15-to-1 to 30-to-1. <br /> <br /> As for Orton’s old team, Denver, it’s hard what to make of their situation. What GM or VP makes negative remarks about their starting quarterback after he’s gone 4-1? John Elway still hasn’t given his endorsement to Tim Tebow. You could kind of tell by Elway’s polite golf clap after an exciting game winning touchdown by Tebow last Thursday against the Jets that Elway's is still in search of the Broncos QB of the future, maybe Matt Barkley.<br /> <br /> The Chargers have been on a skid that has seen them lose five games in a row with their last win coming against the Broncos in week 5, a game where Tebow came in late to almost win and eventually sealed the fate of Orton. San Diego has been a steady 6 ½-point favorite all week, but Las Vegas oddsmaker Kenny White says Tebow presents a problem in making the odds.<br /> <br /> “Good option quarterbacks always present a problem in making the line because there is such a large variable with them whether it’s college, or now the in pro’s with Tebow,” said White who co-stars in Discovery’s Velocity channel TV show ‘The Linemakers’. “Their running for yardage and ability to move the chains by themselves is something that we haven’t had to analyze much as much on the pro level but is proving to be one that has to be strongly considered in making a team rating for Denver,“<br /> <br /> The team Denver and Tebow just beat, the Jets -- and most notably their head coach Rex Ryan, are doing all they can to ruin the confidence of their signal caller Mark Sanchez. Ryan had back-up Mark Brunnell taking first string snaps during practice this week as somewhat of a message that he’s not happy with his quarterback’s play.<br /> <br /> All Sanchez has done since he’s been there is go to two straight AFC Championship games, but Ryan still thinks he has to send a message to his QB through the media. Maybe it’s because Ryan is a defensive coach, but he has a lot to learn about how to handle the leader of his club. The QB position -- the franchise of the organization -- should be treated delicately, yet Ryan feels the need to embarrass his through the media.<br /> <br /> The Jets welcome a struggling Bills squad that got worse news than losing four out of their last five with RB Fred Jackson being lost for the season. The Jets went from 7 ½-point favorites to -9 following the news. It also doesn’t help the spread that new multi-millionaire Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown 10 interceptions in his last five games. <br /> <br /> While the Bears and Cowboys put claims in for Orton, it appears that he’s headed for Kansas City. Orton likely won’t play in this week’s home game against the Steelers, but you never know based on Tyler Palko’s performance Monday night against the Patriots. Palko didn’t look all that bad, but the parts he did looks bad in, it was apparent that he had never started an NFL game before.<br /> <br /> The Steelers are 10 ½-point favorites for this one, almost the same line it was two years ago when the Chiefs had a huge 27-24 upset against the Steelers in week 11. We know the Chiefs have some fight in them based on their four game winning streak, but sandwiched outside of those win is the first three games and last three games that resonate the most with this line. Kansas City’s first three weeks saw them outscored 109-27 and the last three weeks it’s been 82-16 for the other teams.<br /> <br /> The Cardinals-Rams game is off the board at most Vegas sports books because of Kevin Kolb’s uncertainty, but does it really matter? John Skelton has proven to be an efficient QB in going 2-1 this season. The difference between the two is maybe 1-point. The sports books that do have the line up have St. Louis a 3-point favorite. <br /> <br /> Michael Vick didn’t practice Wednesday and the line based on him not playing is Patriots -3. Vince Young did very well in the Eagles win over the Giants last week despite throwing 3 picks. For some reason, there seemed to be an urgency with the Eagles, and although Young is not known for leadership, it seemed there was more than Vick has offered.<br /> <br /> Matt Hasselbeck is expected to start for the Titans Sunday at home against the Buccaneers. However, the spread hasn’t reflected Hasselbeck’s status in Las Vegas. He‘s been the one reason Tennessee has maintained a decent rating in their games this season, yet the spread (-3 ½) respect him. The difference between him and Jake Locker is worth at least 3-points, but we’ve only seen a change of a half-point. <br /> <br /> It’s a quarterback league and there is no better example than week 12 of the season to demonstrate how important they are to the spread and also future odds posted by the Hilton. A large portion of the teams are severely affected right now by their players taking the snaps.<br /> <br /> Should Matt Flynn have to start for Green Bay due to another concussion by Rodgers at Detroit, sports books like Lucky’s in Las Vegas will have to do some major changes to their undefeated proposition that says the Packers will go unbeaten in the regular season (Yes +280/No -360).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-9143552737671786291?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cHnvcVyPtfKdLiSAXQ60HJTEzy4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cHnvcVyPtfKdLiSAXQ60HJTEzy4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cHnvcVyPtfKdLiSAXQ60HJTEzy4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cHnvcVyPtfKdLiSAXQ60HJTEzy4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/d4qpMcwrerI" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2011/11/several-contending-teams-finding.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-29119218916037645792011-11-05T04:41:00.000-07:002011-11-05T04:41:22.778-07:002011-11-05T04:41:22.778-07:00<a href="http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/story.cfm/story/1193073">College Football News: Las Vegas Money Moves -

Most bettors had them tied up in parlays and teasers as the key game, so when the Titans won 23-13, the sports books had just hit the power ball on the day and scooped the majority of the chips. <br /> <br /> Sharp money was on the Titans and kept the game below 6-points, although many sports books tried the number out briefly just because of all the mounting Ravens risk. Whenever the number popped up, it wasn’t long before the number was sniffed out by the smart money and bet.<br /> <br /> Despite sharp money taking away some of the straight bet win on the game, the game immediately eliminated risk from the popular parlays with the Jets, Lions and Steelers.<br /> <br /> The Steelers once again showed their mite as teams continue to have hangovers the week after playing them. In this instance, rather than being beat up, the Titans game was a total let down for them. There was no way to recreate the same intensity against a team like the Titans who everyone thought was done for.<br /> <br /> Matt Hasselbeck kept the Ravens defense off balance all day throwing for 358 yards and a touchdown pass. Tennessee’s offense piled up 432 yards of offense to Baltimore’s 234. Joe Flacco was sacked three times and forced into throwing two interceptions by the Titans revamped defense.<br /> <br /> Next up for the Titans is a visit from the Broncos while the Ravens travel to St. Louis.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-5001065845253823369?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CY9L3LjkwX5agCt1XaqRhzTFN2U/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CY9L3LjkwX5agCt1XaqRhzTFN2U/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CY9L3LjkwX5agCt1XaqRhzTFN2U/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/CY9L3LjkwX5agCt1XaqRhzTFN2U/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/F6wlPigbIGU" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2011/09/sports-books-do-well-in-early-games.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-4856087227218569892011-09-18T12:06:00.000-07:002011-09-18T12:06:34.517-07:002011-09-18T12:06:34.517-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NfqXUvQ7NRQ/TnZBHmZ5T7I/AAAAAAAAEMU/b2CrDntcs8M/s1600/mayweather.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NfqXUvQ7NRQ/TnZBHmZ5T7I/AAAAAAAAEMU/b2CrDntcs8M/s1600/mayweather.jpg" /></a></div>The first two weeks of college football action had seen the public favorites negate what could have been winning days for Las Vegas sports books. Past history has shown that when there is an evenly mixed ratio of underdogs to favorites winning, the house does well. Even though the favorites went only 25-23, Saturday’s games followed the same trend of the previous two weeks with public teams like Wisconsin, Stanford, Oklahoma, USC and Miami piling up large parlay payouts that the books couldn’t counter with.<br /> <br /> However, for at least one chain of books, they fared well on the day thanks to a little boxing match held at their property. The MGM Resorts properties were cringing with every college football final score they posted on Saturday night, but got good news with Floyd Mayweather’s controversial fourth-round knocked of Victor Ortiz at the MGM Grand.<br /> <br /> Other sports books around town all fared well on the bout too, but a major chunk of the state’s action on the fight was taken within the MGM and their other properties like the Mirage, Mandalay Bay and Bellagio. <br /> <br /> Mayweather had opened a large -900 favorite over Ortiz and the sports books couldn’t find anyone to lay it. From the time the line came out until the start of the first round, it was all Ortiz money, both small and large. Mayweather closed as a -500 favorite at the MGM and dipped to -475 at the South Point.<br /> <br /> Usually in fights where there is a big favorite like this, the sharp money likes to wait until the last possible moment because they know the public will always be all over the underdog due to the high returns should they win; they like the bet a little to win a lot. When the Sharps feel the price is as low as it will go, then they come with the large bets. <br /> <br /> Between the small money and large money both being on Ortiz, the day’s college football losses took a back seat to the big win.<br /> <br /> The rest of the city didn’t have the fortune of having the match at their property like the MGM did, but still managed to ease the pain of the large college football losses at the end of the day.<br /> <br /> The biggest blow was the three-team 6-to-1 parlay from the night games with USC (-16) beating Syracuse, Oklahoma (-3) winning at Florida State and Miami (-2 ½) dominating Ohio State. Those results were magnified even worse when Stanford came in with their impressive 37-10 win at Arizona.<br /> <br /> Games that helped the sports books not lose as much began with Nebraska (-17) getting back doored by Washington to win 51-38. TCU (-29) had a rough start in their game against Louisiana-Monroe, eventually winning 38-17, but didn’t cover. <br /> <br /> The big 40-20 UNLV win over Hawaii could have been a massive win for the sports books -- and it did kill all kinds of dangerous parlays, but Sharp money was all over the Rebels despite their horrendous efforts in their first two games. Hawaii dropped from a 20 ½-point favorite all the way to -17 by kickoff. The books avoided the public parlay wrath, but still eventually lost the game because of the overwhelming large money on straight bets with UNLV.<br /> <br /> UNLV paid out as the biggest money-line underdog winner of the day at 7-to-1 odds. Of the 23 underdogs that covered on the day, 12 of them won outright. Tulane’s 49-10 surprising 49-10 win at UAB paid out at 7-to-2 odds and Wyoming’s 28-27 win at Bowling Green gave 3-to-1 odds. However, there weren’t too many bettors that could say they had the foresight that actually had tickets on those games.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752372732106963065-485608722721856989?l=robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hVp3XETBhRo_Oj3pcxXUC0RjGzw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hVp3XETBhRo_Oj3pcxXUC0RjGzw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hVp3XETBhRo_Oj3pcxXUC0RjGzw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hVp3XETBhRo_Oj3pcxXUC0RjGzw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RobertsFootballNotes/~4/PX1Cx9b9wwI" height="1" width="1"/>Fireballr7noreply@blogger.com0http://robertsfootballnotes.blogspot.com/2011/09/mayweather-saves-las-vegas-sports-books.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752372732106963065.post-43264026152699474812011-09-17T16:32:00.000-07:002011-09-17T16:32:29.255-07:002011-09-17T16:32:29.255-07:00<a href="http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/story.cfm/story/1175972">NFL News: Week 2 Line Moves -
