This is a ludicrous article on 2 levels:
first off, i can't believe i'm reading an article that is trying to inspire SYMPATHY for Las Vegas Books ....................... seriously?
Secondly, if this is even true, the whole crux of the article is that they 'supposedly' lost a whole lot of money because they're not doing their jobs properly? is it OUR faults that they're not doing their jobs better. seriously, if the books would set the lines higher in these mis-matches, then the public wouldn't throw all of their money at the favs. If the line is set properly at opening, then 50% of the money will go to the fav, 50% will go to the dog, the line won't move, the book will make their 10% cut on every game and get rich, REGARDLESS OF WHO WINS OR BY HOW MANY POINTS. If a book loses money on a game, it's their own fault, not the bettors or the teams playing.
Actually, the more I think about this, I view this article more as a paid advertisement between Las Vegas Books and Yahoo Sports instead of a news article. It's bullshit. |
