VT - I won't be grading much (my own push). What I mean is in this game there are no losers (save Texas ML bets) nobody in their right mind took 2.5 points and even less laid 3.5 points. On the other hand all the plus 3.5 and minus 2.5 that ever was hung got eaten up, not to mention the MANY who buy on off 3 one way or another. Bottom line every book lost money to the side tonight.

Don't you just love when a really tight number is set, then polished a bit..such is the life of on-and-off 3 in the NFL(and primetime tv to boot!)..this game reminded me of GB vs. expansion Jax in '95/Sunday Night.

Shoe - good point if this game was played at 1PM EST today the damage would gave been maybe 20% of what it was as a prime time event. The average bettor thinks books push when 3 falls but alas for the bookies not the case.

Theoretically true. But this line never ever budged off of the 3. I remember seeing it at -120,-115,etc. But the number never moved so at the most the books probably lost a little on teasers but that's about it.

YUP, just as I thought. Not that this is substantial but taking a glance over at the RX LIVE LINES for the GB/Houston game confirms what I said. The line didn't move at all the whole week there either. Less than pennies lost for the books.

Elk - Moves off the number 3 hardly ever hit the line services (Don Best for example). Most books have "orders" from customers for minus 2.5 or plus 3.5 (most of which don't get filled). The ones that do get filled do save books from moving their number publicy. Orders as a rule are big bets. Believe what you want, the truth is when a three falls it is not a good thing for a bookmaker.

True Elk, but being the last game of the day, it probably as you mentioned was the remaining side on many multi-team teasers(if not the MNF gm), plus some/many limit-players will buy the hook..even off expensive prime numbers.

Yes Wil, the "biggies" get accomodated.

I'm sure CR and other isle paradise golf courses will be littered Monday, with BMs crying and consoling one another on their unbearable lives of woe.

The packers line moved off the three..what are you talking about?????

Bowmans closed at -4 GB

OlYMPIC had 3.5 up all day.........

CRIS HAD 3.5 ALL DAY...... BAD FACTS elk....Half of the books on the RX live lines board are shat anyways.. you d think most of the second rate book s on here would follow the GREEK but I guess not.....

Why arent CRIS and OLY on LIVE LINES........Are MYBOOKIE, CATALINA,DIMEPLAYER of more use to serious gamblers...Hardly..maybe as an minor out but not enough for major money there...

A Houston cover would have knocked down a ton of parlays also.

Brutal Sunday for the sportsbooks.

Olympic wasn't at 3.5 all day. In fact they stayed at 3 flat most of the day while others shaded heavy toward Green Bay. Where you came up with your info I have no idea.
