Vegas changes the line to get equal money on both teams. They make money on the vig, a percentage for taking the bet.

And that rarely actually happens

quote:

"For Nevada's largest sports book operator, William Hill, it was a fitting end to a terrible pro football season," a spokesman said. "The Patriots, trailing 28-9, were available at 16/1 (+1600) on the LIVE InPlay Money Line, and their comeback was very profitable for the majority of bettors.

"The favorite covered. The total went over. All the popular props cashed."

Most of the public money heading into Super Bowl LI was firmly on the Patriots. The line never budged off Patriots -3, but the money kept pouring in on New England. There was plenty of money on the under, but the public money was largely on the over, with the Pats and the over being a popular pair of bets (the favorite and the over are typically where the public goes in these big games).




So he's an idiot either way. Vegas not only lost, but they lost big during the game

line. I was ok with that noncall since both players were facemasking each other and the hold that was called was especially egregious.



Not to mention the falcons also had hands all up in a Patriots DEs grill on the same play so if we are doing the math that's 2 face masks and a hold vs 1 face mask on the defense
