| BetCRIS: Weekly Review 09/19
 September 
                                19th  – Bookmakers 
                                around the world should be bleeding after a devastating 
                                NFL Sunday with only three small favorites getting 
                                beaten from the 15 games played. We had nearly 
                                every customer we have here at https://www.betcris.com/ 
                                playing ‘Teasers' with common teams like 
                                Chicago (-2), Baltimore (-6), San Diego (-5), 
                                Green Bay (+7.5), Carolina (+8) and Seattle (-1). 
                                Needless to say, people who bet teasers this week 
                                enjoyed a great NFL Sunday. Best Game for the house... Only one game really saved 
                                us from having our worst NFL Sunday by a million 
                                percent, and that was Buffalo defeating Miami 
                                16-6. Miami opened up a 7 point 
                                favorite and even with some late money for Buffalo 
                                and the line dropping to 6 ½ at kick off, 
                                it was Miami that the public liked, especially 
                                our customers who bet teasers. If it wasn't for 
                                Buffalo every Teaser bet we took would have been 
                                a winner!! Best game for the players... Dallas defeating Washington 
                                at home on Sunday night was the final nail in 
                                an otherwise terrible day for us. Dallas kicked 
                                off being a 7 point favorite after opening 6 ½. Minnesota defeating Carolina 
                                in Overtime was a double ‘whammy' for us 
                                with the general public betting Minnesota so much 
                                that they closed a 2 ½ point favorite after 
                                Carolina opened up being the favorite by 2 ½ 
                                points. On the ‘flip' side, every teaser 
                                bet we took, especially when Minnesota was the 
                                favorite, was placed on Carolina at between +6 
                                to +9 points. NY Giants came from no-where 
                                to break our hearts, much to the enjoyment of 
                                our customers. Philadelphia opened a 3 ½ 
                                point favorite but after many Giants bettor's 
                                action, only closed a 2 ½ point favorite, 
                                but they seemed to have the game won with the 
                                in progress score of Philadelphia, 24-7 in the 
                                4th quarter. The Eagles then went to sleep and 
                                somehow the Giants came back to win in Overtime 
                                30-24. College Football at least 
                                wasn't a disaster like the NFL, but there was 
                                only a small profit to ‘grind' out for bookmakers. 
                                We can't complain about the action though with 
                                our phone's ringing off the hook all weekend and 
                                our internet website taking a record amount of 
                                bets. Saturdays college had some terrific match 
                                up's, which also obviously contributed with games 
                                like Michigan at Notre Dame, LSU at Auburn and 
                                Florida at Tennessee. Looking back on Saturday 
                                nights last game, UNLV at Hawaii we should have 
                                been ready for a bad Sunday. Hawaii opened a 9 ½ 
                                point favorite, but after some big ‘one-way' 
                                action on Hawaii, they closed being a 14 point 
                                favorite. We scored the match in the early hours 
                                of Sunday morning for a big win to our players. The only bright spot for 
                                our week was baseball. The only problem now is 
                                the action drops off a little with football here 
                                but it certainly at least helped an otherwise 
                                dreadful week for bookmakers.   Until next week, Shane
