| BetCRIS: Weekly Review 09/19
  
                                The Denver Bronco's 
                                upset win over New England capped off a ‘turn 
                                around' NFL Sunday from last weeks disaster. Sunday's 
                                NFL was decided in the bookmakers favor by results 
                                like Baltimore not covering the spread and upset 
                                St Louis and Denver results. College football however 
                                was the bookmakers ‘Achilles Heel' this 
                                week, at least here at https://www.betcris.com/. 
                                Apart from a few decent results on Saturday, the 
                                week of College Football belonged to our customers. Best games for the house.... Denver defeating New England 
                                on Sunday night was by far our best result for 
                                the week. There were plenty of New England bettors 
                                willing to lay the 6 points at home, or mostly 
                                including them in Teaser and parlay bets. Baltimore's last minute field 
                                goal to win 15-14 over Cleveland was nearly a 
                                perfect game for us with most people prepared 
                                to lay the 6 to 7 points Baltimore was favored 
                                by. Had Cleveland held on for the victory, we 
                                would have beaten every teaser and parlay bet 
                                for the day and it would have turned into a ‘Million 
                                dollar game', for us. St Louis defeated Arizona 
                                16-14 in a game where Kurt Warner wore the brunt 
                                of the Arizona loss with 3 interceptions and a 
                                lost fumble. Arizona were heavily bet at home 
                                with an opening spread of 4 ½ that closed 
                                at 5 points. Best games for the players.... Indianapolis Colts at home 
                                defeating Jacksonville 21-14 was a ‘bettors' 
                                result with the Colts opening a 6 point favorite 
                                and closing at 7 points. The majority of Jacksonville 
                                bettors we did have either bet Jacksonville +7 
                                points, or even bought a half point to +7.5 so 
                                it was a great game for our customers. Chicago also came from behind 
                                and won 19-16 over Minnesota in a game where it 
                                looked like Minnesota had a victory all sealed 
                                up. The Chicago spread was anywhere between 3 
                                and 3 ½ points so when they came from no 
                                where to win by 3 points, it hurt us immensely. Our worst result in College 
                                Football for the week was Notre Dame winning 40-37 
                                over Michigan State. Notre Dame came from nowhere 
                                to win by 3 points which was exactly where our 
                                spread was ‘bouncing' around. We opened 
                                Notre Dame 3 ½ points, and closed them 
                                lower at 3 points, but any time we have a spread 
                                like that, and it lands on the number of 3, it 
                                really hurts bookmakers. Europe concluded a 
                                big victory to retain the Ryder Cup golf on Sunday. 
                                After Tom Lehman announced his team, a flood of 
                                money came for Europe, but thankfully for us we 
                                had many patriotic American's out there for the 
                                tournament to be a good one for bookmakers. We 
                                had to pay one ‘unpatriotic' gentleman who 
                                was the first ‘Europe' bettor for a single 
                                bet of $10,000 on Europe, but the tournament was 
                                still good for us.  Until next week, Shane
