LVRJ: Vegas Sportsbooks ride Hawks wave

[Kasept]

Sports books ride Seahawks all the way to bank

If this game pitted the sharps against the squares, it was a one-sided slaughter of the public. The Seattle Seahawks, who got a majority of the sharp action, stuck it to Denver 43-8 on Sunday in the type of Super Bore that launched the proliferation of proposition bets.


But.. About the safety...

Will there be a safety? The “yes” side cashed, for the third consecutive year, at plus-550. The first scoring play of the game being a Seattle safety paid off 50-1 to 60-1 odds. The first score of the game being anything other than a touchdown returned plus-150. Add up the three results, Bogdanovich said, and his books took about a $140,000 loss.

Every Douche I know is pounding their chests about their great call this morning... Up until then... Crickets.

Surely you aren't saying that to me. But yes unless people put money where mouth is it is meaningless

I picked Seattle on this website before the season. I said 10 days before kickoff that I was playing Seattle heavy. Ultimate get out for the shitty year. I'll tell you now a year ahead of time..... Seattle repeats and I'm putting half of my winnings on them from last night on them to win it all at 5-1.

I don't think anyone repeats anymore...whole different era

Lots of good Week 1 Match ups for the NFL opener in Seattle"

Here are Seattle's eight home opponents: Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Denver Broncos, and Oakland Raiders.

Eventually this team has to lose some guys. Everyone on that D gets paid eventually. But not this year. They will bring back almost the same team. With a healthy Percy who proved how valuable he is last night. I think these guys play with a huge chip. Wilson, Sherman, Chanceller none of them first or second round picks. All hungry. I think they will be better. Plus they have the NFC east next year. Worst division in the NFL. Only real competition would be a healthy GB and Rodgers. I think San Fran is great, but Seattle does everything they do, but better.

As Bob says that would be a flat out awful bet. Teams do not repeat anymore sometimes they don't even make the playoffs/ Good call on Seattle though.

On the road to Carolina, KC (2nd best Home Field Advantage), Philly? SD? plus their own division. That's a tough schedule to possibly win home field advantage again.
