Moneyline

- On the ML, we opened at KC -186 and TB +155. Since the initial dip with the spread falling to 3 from 3.5, we saw ML adjust to KC -170 and TB +145 and held there for several days. This morning we saw another small adjustment on moneyline to KC -160 and TB +130.
- Unlike the spread, moneyline bettors are liking Tampa Bay, with 56% of bets and 57% of the handle on the Buccaneers to win outright.

Best Result for Book
-
- In an ideal world, the Kansas City Chiefs win by 1 to 2 points in a low-scoring affair
- As far as futures go, both teams are a manageable loss for the book, and Super Bowl handle greatly outweighs futures liability
- Some props that can really hurt us include Tom Brady OVER 0.5 rushing yards (+150), Tom Brady to win MVP (+200), Mike Evans to score the first TD (+1050) , and Tyreek Hill OVER receiving yards (opened at 91.5 and was bet up to 93.5 [-115]) – significant liabilities for the book on the aforementioned

Notable Bets
-
- On Tuesday, we had a client wager $10,000 that the opening kickoff would not be returned for a TD. Would win $200.
- On Monday, a client wagered $75,000 on KC -3 (-120). Would win $62,500.
- Late last week, we took a $2,500 bet on heads (-102 odds). Would win $2,450.98.
National Anthem
-
- While not approved in the States, the PointsBet Australia team is allowed to offer a straight O/U on the National Anthem. Market consensus was O/U 118.5 seconds. Following Friday’s leaked recording, which timed up to 135 seconds, we – like other books – were very quick to pull the offering, but did see a flurry of action on the OVER in the short period it was still available.
Miscellaneous
-
- A lot of movement today on our Gatorade bath prop – Yellow/Green (+400) remains the most bet color, taking 23%. Red (+225) sits in second, taking 21% of bets.
- Shaquil Barrett continues to be a big liability for MVP. He currently sits as the fifth-most bet player (10% of bet count) to win MVP, and sits at +4000 odds (down from +6600).
