Broncos Failed Half Point Cover Heartbreaking for Cappers and Sportsbooks Alike
Thursday Night Football was all about the Denver Broncos, but in the end that half point cover by KC proved costly for the books and most sports handicappers, including a number of the hottest cappers on the G911 Sports Hub. The likes of Bobby B, Sports Hub Insider and even your friends at Gambling911.com all went down in flames following the heartbreaking failed cover.
It was the Public vs. the House in classic fashion. But there were signs this was probably a no win situation, for the sportsbooks at least.
While the line came down off the 11 earlier in the week to 10.5, a few books like BetUS opted to move back to 11....for a hot minute, literally. Circa and others did the same. The indication being that sharps were likely banging the Broncos at +11. Crossing the number to 11.5 would have resulted in what is called "middling". That's when savvy gamblers win betting on both sides. In this case Kansas City at -10.5 and Denver at +11.5. The Chiefs won by 11 points.
Not everyone was a loser Thursday night. Certainly the gambling public made out like bandits as better than 75% at one point were backing KC. Tonny Ricci, who we've been profiling here regularly, nailed the UNDER 47.5 in Thursday night's game.
