WEEKLY PRESS RELEASES
Week
In Review -- March 21st
The first two rounds of the 2006
NCAA Tournament is now completed with only 22
of the 48 favorites covering their spread. Not
only have the ‘Dogs’ been doing
well so far, but many of them have been winning
straight up and removing some highly seeded
teams. Big name seeds expected to do well in
the tournament that has already been eliminated
include Iowa, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Tennessee,
Nevada and Ohio State. With results like this
it has definitely translated into a good week
for us and I’m sure bookmakers everywhere.
Through the second round we now have Connecticut
and Duke firm favorites to take the title at
+250 and +455 respectively and look likely to
play in the national championship game.
While the NCAA was kind to us,
I can’t say the same for NBA. Our customers
enjoyed a great week betting NBA with one player
in particular winning approximately $200,000
for the week betting on NBA games alone. NHL
was the same as NBA except 2 times worse for
us! Results just didn’t seem to go our
way at all this week. NHL is sometimes very
difficult for bookmakers with not a lot of support
from the general player so quite often we will
have one way decisions on games, which translates
to either us winning, or our players winning.
Exhibition baseball has been
kind to our customers with many of our smaller
bettors picking winners which is always good
too see. With two weeks away from the regular
season I just hope there is going to be more
to talk about than Barry Bonds. Japan and Cuba
are tonight playing for the World Baseball Classic
title with odds very similar to take your pick.
Both teams were not expected to reach the final
with the stronger teams like Venezuela, Dominican
Republic and USA expected to be there.
Rod Pampling defeated a star
studded field which included Tiger Woods, Vijay
Singh, Ernie Els and many others to win the
Bay Hill Invitational. Pampling was part of
our ‘Field’ price which included
100 players and considering that’s approximately
5/6’s of the whole field, +200 was a decent
price for 100 players. The US Masters is now
just two weeks away so tune in and log onto
www.betcris.com and see the odds of your favorite
players. Until next week, good luck.
Until next week,
Shane Catford
