Las Vegas Loses when the NY Giants Win

Oddsmakers in Las Vegas sports books are rooting for the New England Patriots to win SuperBowl 46 on Sunday February 5, 2012.

The reason why?  Money, of course.

Nevada sports books took significant futures bet action on the New York Giants to win the Super Bowl at long odds.

Odds as high as 80 to 1 have some sports books sweating their exposure to financial losses on Super Sunday.

One game away from a winning nickel bet on the G-men returning $40,500. How about a dime for $81,000?

The only thing worse for the books would have been a Denver Broncos win at 5000-1 where a simple $200 wager would have returned a cool $1,000,000.

Holland Beat Uruguay 3-2 Go to World Cup Finals

Holland has won their semifinal match versus a game Uruguay squad in chilly Cape Town, South Africa.

The Netherlands dynamic duo of  Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder overpowered Uruguay’s captain Diego Forlan. Noticably absent was Luis Suarez, serving his one game suspension for a red card on his ” Hand of Suarez ” play.

Perhaps the best goal of the 2010 World Cup was Giovanni van Bronckhorst in minute 17. His rocket shot from 30 meters just found the opening in the top right net. 

Holland was cruising up 3-1 when in the 91st minute Uruguay scored a second goal, for a very brief time keping their dream alive. but it was Holland’s day and they advance to an all European Final.

We won yet again with the Netherlands as our Lock of the semifinals; having already won our Locks of the 3 group stage games, Round of 16, and Quarterfinals. A perfect 6-0 ATS. Winning’s fun.

Holland advances to the 2010 World Cup Finals. Congratulations Oranje.
