    Maybe I am naive to these sorts of things but how do you get 10,000 after 5 days of betting.
    Maybe I missed some really good odds or I am missing somethine else.

    It was definitely added later. 50:1 is a joke, the money line was no better than like 4:1

    I put all 500 on the under and won.

    click on any thread that has bets in it, then click on one of the bets. You'll see who bet on each option. Also, there are three links at the top:

    Nope. I got the odds from Bodog.

    They were listed at 50-1 straight up.

    12 point underdogs do not just get set to 4-1 odds straight up. That is absurd.

    Spread No-Vig Moneyline

    -1 -107/+107 -2 -115/+115 -3 -145/+145 -4 -180/+180 -5 -210/+210 -6 -240/+240 -7 -290/+290 -8 -320/+320 -9 -360/+360 -10 -400/+400

    This chart is just a general guideline. To gain more power, generate your own conversion charts for home/away, and high/low totals. In general, home teams do slightly better at any given spread. You'll also find that as the totals decrease, the moneyline for a given spread increases. So a 7-point favorite in a game with a total of 30 might be -330 (instead of -280 for a typical game with a 42.5 total).

    While many sports betting houses -- from Las Vegas to Antigua -- might be hurting today, there are a ton of New York supporters wearing smiles, thanks to Eli Manning and the Giants' defense.

    That's what happens when a heavy underdog wins as the Giants did Sunday, beating the previously unbeaten New England Patriots, 17-14, in the Super Bowl.

    "I'm just cashing tickets," said Jay Kornegay, director of the Las Vegas Hilton sports book.

    "It was a good day for Vegas, but not a good day for sports books. Early reports have this being the worst Super Bowl results ever."

    Although a good number of people who made wagers on the Giants took the safe road and played the double-digit point spread, smart bettors placed money on New York to win.

    And with the money line ranging from +325 to +405, they won big.

    "The big underdog payoff for the Giants money-line backers meant a huge loss for Vegas," R.J. Bell of Pregame.com said.

    "Some reports had over 90% of the money-line bets backing the Giants."

    But that's not the only way bettors made huge gains.

    Bets connected with New England's inability to score against the Giants were also money winners.

    For example, people who bet on the Patriots' scoring exactly 14 points were paid off at 40-1, according to Bodoglife.com, and bettors who took New England to end the first quarter without a point won as well.

    :rofl:

    +400 = bet 100 to win 400 = 4:1

    50:1 was probably preseason odds.

    what was funny was PNNY still bet everything on the Pats, even with those odds. Even if the Cheatriots had won, his profit would've been 24. 24!!!!

    Nevada bookmakers lost over $2.5 million on the game, their biggest loss ever on a championship game.
