I dont remember exactly which sportsbook it was, about 10 years ago, im sure someone on this forum will remember, and they can fill in the details.
In the SuperBowl with GREEN BAY VS DENVER, GREEN BAY was a -12 point favorite. Well this sportsbook, and I dont remember which one, came out with Green Bay-7 or maybe even -3. Once again, dont remember the exact spread or sportsbook, but the point is, this books number was so off from the regular number that every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the world deposited money into this book, to either bet GREEN BAY, or lock in one hell of a middle.
This book convenantly raised its normal limits from low to sky high for the Super Bowl. Encouraging betters of all shapes and sizes to deposit into there book.
Well after the game was over, Denver won the game straight up. And the book closed its doors and took everyones money in the process.
The reason they made this line is because they already planned on shutting down right after the super bowl, so they wanted to get as many big deposits as they could right before the Super Bowl.
Why do I bring up this story?
Because there are many books out there right now that have plans on shuting there doors right after the SUPERBOWL.
Please, if you see a line thats too good to be true for the SUPER BOWL, or if you get offered a sign up bonus thats way beyond the norm, please remember this story from yesteryear.
I am almost 100% sure that some of these books that plan on closing are going to pull every trick in the book to get that last great rush of deposits, before they run off in the sunset with your money.
