vegas got beat, read the article in the link above
they wish they won 8-10 million
not this year.
reports are out of losses by vegas....perfect storm...over and gbay won they wanted neither
i agree public loves fav and Over, so Vegas will get hit by them.
This couldn't be further from the truth. In the long run, yes, they make a profit over the course of a year. I can tell you though from personal experience that there are some weekends that the book gets crushed. Think back about 5 years ago. There was a weekend where a larger number than usual of favorites covered. It was capped off by a Monday night game between the Jets and the Falcons. A customer of mine teased the game- both sides and both totals and won the 4 team tease. It took several weeks to come back from one.
The books were seeing heavy money on Green Bay and over the total of 45.
"It was a worst-case scenario for us with the Packers and over," Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay said. "Going into the game, we knew exactly what we didn't need, and unfortunately that scenario came true.
"It's not that bad. We lost a little bit."
MGM Resorts sports book director Jay Rood said parlays linking Green Bay and over the total did the most damage.
"The combination of that two-team parlay was brutally rough," Rood said. "It was the worst Super Bowl that I've been a part of. That's an accurate statement."

Why worry about how Vegas does?...lol You should be more concerned about yourself...if you're a loser or a winner overall since you've been gambling...what happens in one day is really not that significant unless you're a dummy who went all in and lost everything in one day...lol
In the long run Vegas does fine, it's really about all the loser gamblers who indirectly pay the winner gamblers. The gambling establishments have the juice and so they do fine in the long run.
So say for example you're a gambler that overall since you've been gambling has lost 5 grand...well there's another gambler out there that overall has won 5 grand overall and so in a sense you indirectly paid that winner gambler the 5 grand you lost...the big establishments like Vegas don't lose in the long run and so the gamblers who are winners overall get their money indirectly from the losers..
they had a rough day......

Nevada gaming authorities are expected to release by Tuesday the final numbers...
It will be interesting to see how much Vegas books "lost" yesterday, i just heard from CNBC said that big Steeler tickets had prevented Vegas from losing. i will trust more on Nevada State Board numbers than book managers.
they lost huge big timers had bet 500,000 to 1 million on packers moved spreads and money like crazy
- 3 points -115
as the articles posted above said
so be happy that the bookies and vegas lost one
i won on the overs i already had the steelers to win the bowl for a $1000 so i lost nothing
i won $3050 when they won afc
one thing i did find out was a free biorhythm chart and just knew that BIG ben was in bad shape
low physical and emotional it also showed that woodson was going to have a bad day and that rodgers also was going to be sub par most of game
not for nothing but Ben blew the game Packers had 0 turnovers and scored on all 3 to's they got from steelers
so just by that statistic alone the Packers DID beat steelers
i knew that they wanted packers to win Goodell hated BEN and Harrison all year long
the refs were quick with the flags on steelers
all year they got heavily flagged
but even still that goof for steelers with that penalty pushed steelers back 15 yards
BUT i still don't think Ben would have pulled it off !
so one thing for sure we know same ol shit next year both the loser and winner will burn your cash
neither team will be back in the bowl !
You gotta be kidding me to think the majority took GB. GB might be the favorite but Pitt was most likely wagered on more. Most of my betting friends took Pitt and most of the vocal members of Covers took Pitt. That's enough of a rough estimate to say that most took Pitt.
And yes, most of you guys on Covers are 'Sharps' so imagine what the 'public/squares' did when they expected Pitt to be the favored and when they saw Pitt getting points they salivated and lined up like sheep.

Do you really still believe all these articles? What do you expect Vegas to say? Imagine if Vegas say we always win, took you money so don't come back and play.
Even if you lost, the illusion after reading this article gives you the belief that the majority won and you will eventually beat the books since most people did. That's is exactly a real gambler's mindset and that's what they want you to belive.
Let me guess, they are also worried for your well-being just like cigarette companies so they promote 1-800-gambler?

Vegas wins or losses don't account for the majority of bets being made either supposedly. Where would you imagine all the pros or so-called pros reside? Yes, they are in Vegas so if anything all these so called 'sharps' would have loaded up on the Pack. That doesn't mean that the majority didn't take the Pitt gift line.
Umm my bookie took about 100% action on Pitt + points...
He won 20k at least on the side... so I'd say Vegas did well, except on the OVER.
Same with my local too...........They fucking cleaned up on Pittsburgh no questions about it!!!
