WEEKLY PRESS RELEASES
Week
In Review -- Feb 13th
With the NFL Pro Bowl now over,
it’s good bye to the Football season.
Pro Bowl games are usually thought of as high
scoring games, but this year the wind proved
to control the passing game and keep the scores
a little lower than usual. The game total opened
at 66.5 points and went as high as 69.5 points
until it settled at kick off at 67.5 points.
The NFC upset the AFC 23-17 and we won the game
total, but the public did pretty well in the
game overall. The AFC were favored by 4 points
at kick off, but value bettors took the +4 in
a game where there normally isn’t a ‘blow
out’.
As a Sports book its always sad
to see the end of the football season, and in
the past it usually meant the beginning of the
slow season but with the expanded sports that
we offer bets on now here at www.betcris.com,
it just means our focus is now more spread out.
NHL is now on a two week break
with the Winter Olympics starting in Torino,
Italy. We will be covering all the games in
the Hockey, as well as the major Winter sports
to ensure our ‘Cold Weather’ bettors
have something to bet while the NHL is resting.
The Winter Olympics are already
upon us and the response from our customers
has been terrific. In particular, sports like
the Ice Hockey where Canada are short -120 favorites
to win the gold medal and have attracted a lot
of support from the opening price of +185 when
we opened it back in December.
Aaron Oberholser broke though
for his first PGA Tour victory by winning the
AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday. Oberholser
started the week at odds of 32/1 and immediately
received support from the public, and one of
our best Golf bettors bet $1000 at the odds
of 30/1, so they enjoyed a great weekend at
our expense.
NBA was a shining light for us
this week, and with matches like Detroit at
Miami on Sunday, action was terrific. College
basketball however was a different story. This
week the public definitely did well and game
totals especially seem to be going the public’s
way. March Madness is just around the corner
and it shows with the action starting to come
in.
The Nascar season gets underway
this week after the Budweiser Shootout and Gatorade
Duel’s were completed on Sunday. The Daytona
500 will start with Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart
and Dale Earnhardt Jnr all equal favorites at
+450. We will be offering many different types
of wagers on this big event so log on to www.betcris.com
and check it out.
Until next week,
Shane Catford
