You guys and your "Vegas"....when does it ever end?

casheasy · Answer

This game will stay under. Both teams running when they get close. Philly missing FG&#x27;s. Colts getting the lead and slowing things down. Probably a 27-20 game tonight

EastsideBangers · Answer

I agreeThis game will stay under..........watch

bunny651 · Answer

They scored 10 points combined in the 1Q which means it&#x27;s favoring the under at the moment so which part do you not understand?

Roboduck · Answer

Ya....Vegas knows nothing and they have nothing to do with it.....its all a big crap shoot....insert sarcasm here

Billions at stake every year,  And you think vegas has no say sometimes? Lol

Tigermike1975 · Answer

More win then people realize but yes they do lose quite often. Books are exposed to the over quite often on stand alone prime time games.

God help the player that&#x27;s approaching the goal line when the totals at 47 in the 4th  Vegas has snipers ready to take him out .

Las Vegas has zero say in the outcome of games. There is much more money at stake for the league to lose if their product was found out to be a fraud than there is a money discrepancy on any one game. For all you Vegas fix guys, I would love to hear anyone answer these questions: How does a group of corporations, which is what Vegas is now, all get together and conspire with the league, officials, players or teams( any single one or combination of them to fix a game) and absolutely no one has ever spoken of it? In this day and age a secret of that nature is impossible. Somebody would get disgruntled or rat just to be the guy to bring it all to light. This is a whistle lowers dream and someone would have jumped all over it.I am not naive enough to say that nothing is fixed, I know that it can and does occur throughout the sports world, but read up on the ones that have come to light. They generally start with gamblers or street bookies who also gamble.

LeRinkRat · Answer

interesting. I would have actually thought a lower percentage hold. it&#x27;s the volume of money that makes it profitable. pretty sure NFL and College Football together have more action than all the other sports combined ex for maybe College Baskets during March Madness

It&#x27;s a simple answer, it doesn&#x27;t matter how many people bet a certain side , it&#x27;s how much money is on a side and the juice didn&#x27;t reflect a heavy side on the over

Tigermike1975 · Answer

Exactly LV, the hold is not big.

The oddsmakers are absolute pros when it comes to understanding perception. The trick for them on a game like this is knowing how high they can set the number to still have the average guy bet the over, making it as difficult for them to win as possible, without getting pounded too hard by professionals on the under. This is what they understand better than almost everyone.
