The Las Vegas papers reported this morning that 2/3 of straight bets were on the Giants and Giants moneyline bets were 30x that of the Pats moneyline bets. That is an imbalance of huge proportions and it's their own damn fault for not managing their risk exposure differently. Had they lowered the moneyline price and kept lowering it until they were balanced, they could have found all the New England action they wanted. They thought the public was wrong (as did I) and they took a position. In essence, the Vegas books were gambling yesterday, rather than booking to equal action. They paid the price for it. And yes, they will recover, but the corporate suits who manage for quarterly earnings can't like it one bit.

Yeah. But don't you think they've had Super Bowls where they exposed themselves and it worked out in their favor?

If they wanted to play it safe they would have. It's not like they didn't know this could happen. They realized the risk and took it. I think they'll have other days where they kill the public with similar exposure.

Thank god for longshot props. Ellis Hobbs INT- score! That it was a fluke and not an Eli Floating Duck Special almost makes the win sweeter. It's about time something lucky happens to me.
