| BetCRIS: Weekly Review 10/02
  
                                NFL ‘Teaser' bettors 
                                had another great day on Sunday and if it wasn't 
                                for New England's upset victory over Cincinnati 
                                it would have been an extremely dark day for us 
                                here at betcris.com. Indianapolis, Dallas, Kansas 
                                City, Atlanta and Chicago were all common teams 
                                with teaser and parlay bettors. College football 
                                this week was better for bookmakers but mainly 
                                due to a few upset victories, none better than 
                                Illinois's victory over Michigan State which I 
                                have commented on below. Baseball is now finally finished 
                                with the regular season and Tuesday starts the 
                                first post-season games with some terrific Divisional 
                                Series match-ups. As of writing, they are... San Diego -156 over St Louis Minnesota -164 over Oakland Yankees -325 over Detroit Mets -155 over Dodgers Best games for the house 
                                this week... Illinois's upset 23-20 victory 
                                against Michigan State was the biggest upset for 
                                the week by far. Michigan State was a large 24 
                                point favorite at the point spread or a massive 
                                -3000 for a straight ‘money line' victory. 
                                Having Michigan State lose destroyed most parlay 
                                bettors and killed one of our customers who lost 
                                $60,000 while trying to pick up an easy $2,000 Rutgers won by a slim 2 point 
                                margin on Friday defeating South Florida 22-20. 
                                Rutgers opened a 3-point favorite and closed higher 
                                at 4 points. The best part for us was most South 
                                Florida bettors decided to take them for a straight 
                                up victory; so needless to say, the 2 point margin 
                                was perfect for us. New England turned a potentially 
                                disastrous day into just a bad day with their 
                                upset victory over Cincinnati. Cincinnati opened 
                                a 4 ½ point favorite and closed a 6 point 
                                favorite. Even with two $20,000 wagers at kick-off 
                                placed on New England, it still worked out to 
                                be a great game for us. Washington had to go to overtime 
                                to defeat Jacksonville 36-30, but thankfully for 
                                us, it was Washington who won. Jacksonville had 
                                lots of betting support not only in straight wagers, 
                                but teasers and parlays especially. Between New 
                                England and Washington it at least ‘cushioned' 
                                the blow of a bad Sunday NFL. Best games for our Customers... Florida defeated Alabama 
                                28-13 and landed on a number which hurt us tremendously. 
                                Florida opened being a 13.5 point favorite and 
                                closed at the magical number of 15 points with 
                                heavy support. Most people who played Alabama 
                                took either +15 or +15 ½ points, so when 
                                the game fell on the magical 15 number; it was 
                                indeed a bad result for us. Baltimore's come from behind 
                                victory over San Diego was not received well here 
                                at https://www.betcris.com/. San Diego opened a 
                                2 point favorite and eventually the game closed 
                                at ‘take your pick' after an avalanche of 
                                money. Kurt Warner may have lost 
                                his starting quarterback's job at Arizona after 
                                their loss to Atlanta 32-10. Most Teaser and parlay 
                                bettors included Atlanta, and we thought we had 
                                a chance until after halftime where it was all 
                                Atlanta. The final nail in our coffin 
                                was the last game where Chicago won 37-6 over 
                                Seattle. Chicago has been getting a lot of praise 
                                for their offense lately, which certainly goes 
                                well with their more recognized ‘stingy' 
                                defense. Chicago closed a 3 ½ point favorite 
                                and plenty of betting support, especially when 
                                Seattle announced that last years MVP Shaun Alexander 
                                was not going to play.
