BetCRIS: Weekly Review 09/04
September
4th – College
football kicked off their season on Thursday and
with our phone lines jammed, it wasn’t hard
to see our customers couldn’t wait. Thursday’s
best game for our customers was Northwestern beating
Miami Ohio 21-3. We opened this match at take
your pick a month ago, but after an avalanche
of money placed on Northwestern, we closed them
a 5 ½ point favorite. Saturday the best
game for our customers was Nebraska blowing away
Louisiana Tech 49-10. Nebraska opened a 22 point
favorite but it wasn’t long before they
blew out to 24 ½ points, but it didn’t
matter after the 39 point ‘flogging’.
Another 24 point favorite however did go our way
with Oklahoma failing to cover, but winning 24-17
over UAB. Overall though it was good to get football
off and running but this writer in particular
can’t wait for the NFL to start this Thursday.
With NFL preseason out of
the way, and surprisingly for us the last week
was a profit considering it is usually a tough
week for bookmakers with many teams resting all
their starting players. The week ahead has already
provided some drama with Pittsburgh’s Ben
Roethlisberger having emergency appendectomy surgery.
We originally opened Pittsburgh a 5 point favorite,
but after a flood of money on Miami and the news
on Roethlisberger, as of writing the game is down
to take your pick.
The US Open tennis has been
a painful event for bettors with just about everyday
having problems with weather. It is a pity the
weather has affected it because it really slows
up the betting action.
Remember that this week is
the last chance to bet your favorite NFL team
season wins, so make sure you check them out as
well as other future’s which can be a great
way to ‘have an interest’ other than
just watching the games.
Until next week,
Shane Catford
