You always have the popular teams and the Cowboys and Broncos would be slotted in that group. Who are some 20/1 to 40/1 shots that are getting a lot of support so far and what are the reasons why? The Bills and Buccaneers are a couple of other teams that have been getting a lot of support among Super Bowl bettors, but that’s to be expected, given that they’re the two favorites. Three days before he announced he was going to Tampa Bay, we took a wave of future bets on the Buccaneers. Prior to him announcing he was going to Tampa Bay, the same thing happened. This isn’t the first time it’s happened with Brady information. All of a sudden we started taking all these bets on the Bucs to win the Super Bowl. Because of the way it was bet across the country in a way that bets were correlated to take place at the same time, there was a group out there that must have hit most, if not all, jurisdictions on the Bucs. In this case, it was information that was out there to a select few. I understand most educated sports bettors base their bets off information, whether it’s stats, algorithms, or news that they hear. I just said it’s very obvious someone had information on Brady’s announcement prior to him announcing it.

Some of the others we have liability on are the Patriots, the Buccaneers - we took some sizable wagers on them before Brady made his announcement. From what we see, it’s mostly educated players or sharps that have supported Tennessee.

The Titans are interesting because the last couple of years, they’ve kind of been the wise-guy, sexy pick and we don’t know why. I just looked at the future book - all jurisdictions, not just Nevada - but since Nevada is such a huge market for us, it really sways toward the Raider bias.īut we also have quite a bit of liability on teams like the Steelers, the Titans. So I’m guessing that would be very close to the breakdown of those Raider tickets. Overall, mobile in Nevada, it represents about 73% of our total handle. How much have Nevada bettors had to do with that trend and what’s the retail/mobile wagering split among these bettors? We talked about it in the last edition of “Ask a Bookmaker” and you talked about it on the Gamble On podcast, but there have been major dollars coming in on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl. 8 - a few hours before the NFL season kicked off with the Bills’ win over the Rams.
