Well, if it was predominately Patriots money coming in, then you're putting yourself in a vulnerable position. I can only assume that is wasn't that one sided. If the Pats win by 3, it wouldn't be like you did any damage to yourself and if they won by more you get the Pats money covered. The push isn't going to hurt the books if the Pats money was that one sided (the result would simply be the same). Most books I know, don't want to take a side if they can prevent it.
