BETCRIS OFFSHORE Sportsbook - week in review
BETCRIS.COM
WEEKLY PRESS RELEASES
We are now down to 8 playoff teams
in the NBA and so far everything has gone according
to the odds with no upsets so far. This translates
to a winning week for our NBA bettors. Our biggest
payouts on NBA was for our parlay bettors, and with
all the favorites winning, it’s no surprise.
Phoenix had the biggest scare down 3-1 in the series
against the Lakers, but fought hard and won the next
three games to take the series. You have to wonder
though how much energy and emotion they used up to
come back. This series was particularly bad for us
with the public all over the Suns at the start and
even betting 3/1 on the Suns when they were down 3-1!
The good thing about sports is that there is always
next week, and with great series like Miami -Nets,
Spurs – Mavericks and the Suns now against the
Clippers, I’m sure the action is really going
to ‘Heat up’.
Jim Furyk claimed the Wachovia Championship in a
playoff with Trevor Immelman at the luxurious odds
of 20/1. Furyk’s odds dropped dramatically with
the withdrawal of Robert Allenby, David Toms and David
Howell as well as the early bets we received on the
‘value’ price. Early golf bettors can
sometimes get some great value on some quality golfers,
especially with the withdrawal of some of the favorites.
The Soccer season is winding down now with many of
the big leagues only having one week to play. All
attention then will be on the Champions League final
between Barcelona and Arsenal and then of course the
World Cup in June. We are planning to have plenty
of options and proposition bets on both tournaments
so log on to our website at www.betcris.com and ‘see
what takes your fancy’.
NHL is down to the final eight teams as well, but
unlike the NBA, we are starting to see some upsets.
Stanley Cup favorites Ottawa and New Jersey already
find themselves down one game in their respective
series match-ups against Buffalo and Carolina. Betting
has been great, and the Carolina 6-0 win against New
Jersey was no surprise to one of our customers as
he bet them to win a total of $40,000 at the odds
of -105 and -110 in their first game of the series.
Savvy bettors were all over Oscar de la Hoya at -285
against Ricardo Mayorga on Saturday night. It was
a great match-up and well publicized so that always
translates into huge betting action. We had close
to $250000 wagered on the fight overall. Is it just
me or is it just a coincidence that Mayorga’s
manager is Don King, and he couldn’t say anything
without trying to insult the champion Oscar de la
Hoya. Publicity is one thing, but Don King just takes
it so far now, that his boxers look and sound stupid.
Well, until next week.
