After releasing their final win totals for the TMBSL 3001 season after preseason, the casino has seen record amounts of cash being wagered on the totals. The sportsbooks, becoming more comfortable with their line setting abilities for TMBSL, increased betting limits on the league this past offseason. Because of that, the sportsbooks have seen a record amount of money being wagered. Overall, 211,000 skrousecoin was wagered on these bets alone. Interestingly, there was 106,000 wagered on OVER bets and 105,000 wagered on UNDER bets. It remains to be seen whether this increased volume ends up a good or bad thing for the casino's bottom line.
With two weeks of games played, certain teams are already outpacing the win totals set in the offseason. The Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Indiana Pacers are all on pace to go over their win total by more than 30 wins. With such a small sample size in the books, these numbers are likely to come down, but anyone who has money on their overs has to feel pretty good.
On the the other hand, there are teams that disappointed in the first couple weeks and are on pace to finish well under the number set by the oddsmakers. The Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, and Charlotte Hornets are all currently on pace to finish with at least 20 less wins than where the line was set. While most of these numbers will likely shrink as the season wears on, bettors with money on the under for those teams have to feel pretty good with where they are currently sitting.
So now that we have seen which teams are on pace to go over and under, let's take a look at where bettors put their money. The most popular teams to wager on for 3001 were the Minnesota Timberwolves (95,000), Seattle SuperSonics (30,000), and the Philadelphia 76ers (30,000).
Summary of the Bets:
We can see that right now, bettors are projected to make 139,000 in profit from their bets with would be quite the hit for the casino. It is notable that currently all of the under bets are projected to win, while bettors who took the overs are experiencing a little more variance in their results. This will be interesting to follow as the season progresses.
TMBSL, a league run by a commissioner who was once hesitant to get involved with the gambling scene, has now seemingly embraced the world of sports betting. However, rumors have been swirling that some owners have been placing wagers on the success or failure of their own teams. Not surprisingly, the league is not happy with teams potentially doing this. Although there was previously no explicit rule prohibiting a team employee from betting on the results of his or her own team, it sounds like there is a rule change in the works to address this and prevent the potential bad publicity for the league in the future. TMBSL has worked hard to build a strong reputation as a league of integrity, fairness, and honor and they want to make sure they maintain that reputation and avoid any scandals in the future.
