Never this easy

The only ones rooting for Florida or Florida fans the only ones betting on Florida or Florida fans. I bet you 90% of the population watching this will be rooting for the Oilers and I bet a lot of the bets probably will be on oilers  so will this be the very seldom time that Vegas takes it in the shorts I think so I really do they’re shitting. You can’t fix this game. It’s game seven they can’t make the spread any higher. I think Vegas is  just hoping now, but I really do think the Oilers take it and vegas takes it in the ass

@dustmiester

 the best refs can do to help 'fix' a game is to call a major and or more penalties than the other team.

vegas rarely lose heavily bet games. rn the action is fairly even but yes more bet on the oilers.

rightfully so. florida is playing worse than the san jose sharks rn

What evidence or source do you have to back up your percentage numbers? And well to the other poster Just stop with the fixing foolishness 

Vegas will never go broke on 1 game. The name of the game for any bookmaker is balanced action. In a series one game could see lopsided wagers although it has already been balanced out by prop, series other game plays etc. No one should ever look at any wager as me or us against Vegas. Always look at any wager as you against yourself.

@gotime

 not so true any more. vegas likes to select games and ride on one side for win. they been doing that with the superbowl for years.

how many superbowls do the books lose? zero

Has  an American I'm voting for McDavid and Oilers 

Nobody here in Miami cares for panthers it is Broward Counties team 

Please site your source for this assertion 

And what point am I missing???? Vegas sports books made $481 million in 2023. What am I missing???? Is that considered sports books breaking out even?? Does making $481 million in 2023 means sports books wanted money on both sides?? What am I missing dude??

@benhogan76

 What am I missing dude? If sports books want money on both sides? Then explain how they made 10.9 billion dollars in 2023 from sports books. 481 million in Vegas, 10.9 billion total in 2023 from sportsbooks in the United States. But people believe, all the sports books want, is to have even, balanced wagers. That's funny.

@benhogan76

 A real simple question for you? A simple yes or no? I deal in absolutes. I deal in simplicity. I deal in facts, etc. Here is the question. Let's see if you will answer it with a simple, intelligent, yes or no? Because that's all this question requires. Do you think sports books across America want even money on tonight's game 7 in the NHL? 

@benhogan76

 That's your answer? You answered with an emphatic yes or no like I knew you would? Yep, they don't want to break out even like everyone thinks they do. And nope, they aren't trying to "limit their exposure on any certain game". They are in the business like all businesses are. To make money. And they make easy money. They make money by not breaking even, and they make money by not trying to limit their exposure on certain games. Sportsbooks make easy money without doing anything. They leave it to us, the public, to burn, and waste our money. They just sit back and watch the money come in. Sportsbook DOESN'T have to do anything except take the wager. They don't have to break out even, limit exposure, or anything. They just sit back, and watch the public, throw their money away. How long have you been gambling? 

@benhogan76

 If the public wins tonight, sports books know for a 100% fact that the public will turn around and lose it, and then more. If the public loses tonight, the sports books know for a 100% fact that the public will turn around and lose even more the next time. They're not worried about breaking out even, limiting exposure or anything. They just sit back and make money. How long you been gambling? Don't you know how gambling works? Sports books don't do anything except sit back and make money.

Did you grow up around power lines?

@benhogan76

 Don't get mad at me because sports books made 10.9 billion dollars in 2023. Don't get mad at me because people throw their money away in gambling. You do, I do, everyone does. For the record, my only wager tonight is. Tennessee money line. That's my only play. GL

^ This, all of this 

It's called juice Tex, locals pass it off regularly to other locals to have even action and guarantee their 10% and then some, pretty easy to understand. The more action, the bigger profit. Locals don't lose in the long run because of this system. Do you think they know the outcome of every NFL game? No, they just enjoy collecting the juice, trust me - I know, as most of us do (should) know.     How long have YOU been gambling?

GL to your Oilers ben, I'm on the over 5, looking for some live plays, no side right now, although I would like to see Edm win, except for E. Kane, he's a POS.

@benhogan76

 I never liked Perry either.
