Billsguy Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 and the over was 45 1/2 - the Vegas bookies took a bath - double whammy Vegas bookies did NOT take a bath. Vegas sports books made money, but not very much compared to previous years.

HBSS151 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Vegas bookies did NOT take a bath. Vegas sports books made money, but not very much compared to previous years. Here's the story: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-08/super-bowl-packers-win-nets-vegas-sports-books-smallest-profit-in-13-years.html Oh, fine - they "made" the smallest profit - they still were not happy BTW - sports books contribute little to a casino's bottom line in the end run Sounds like a government dodge - I didn't get a 6% increase this year - only a 2% - ipso facto 'I got cut' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Bookies load balance the bets and just take their skim of whatever percentage they charge. Exactly the same way horse racing industry makes money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
