Per @TIvegas Tony Nevill on #SuperBowl outcome: “This was a horrible outcome, and one of the few times where props were so disastrous that it ruined the whole day.” Likely reflects mood of many sportsbooks. @Covers #IBetTheBigGame
Per @CGTechnology_ @jsimbal on #SuperBowl result: “Lost to the game. Mostly on moneyline. Small loss on spread. Props were no good, loser there too. Biggest loser was the alternate pointspread Eagles -7.5.” @Covers #IBetTheBigGame
It’s always good when Vegas is crying about losing big bets.
