Teddy Covers offers his opinion on the Hawaii point shaving allegations

11.23.2011     11:07 AM     Teddy Covers     Printer Friendly
Submitted by Teddy Covers

UPDATE

I just did some research on this story.  Not to say that it didn't happen, but some “facts” in the Covers piece tonight are false.  Wynn's lines don't count as opening numbers – they take opinions, they open first, their limits are low, and they are not market numbers. 

CRIS opened -4, closed -3.5…the number bounced back and forth between 3.5 and 4 all week. 

I also watched the game – the whole game – and if that game was “fixed” in any way, I sure as hell didn't see it. 

It's worth noting that in most point shaving scenarios we see the favorite win but not cover...the classic “nobody gets hurt, we make money” scenario; an easy sell for kids who don't have any “walking around” money in their pockets.  Hawaii is 2-6 ATS as favorites this year, but they've been LOSING those games in SU fashion (four times) – very, very atypical of what we would expect to see from a pointshaving situation.

Goofball politicians state their case for pro and anti online gambling

11.22.2011     10:46 AM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
It is absolutely amazing what politicians will say these days. Take these pro and anti gambling supporters. Barney Frank compared the current poker ban to Prohibition – a needless law that obviously doesn’t/didn't work. Yeah, we can get behind that theory. Frank then however spit out this gem when he said a lot fewer people die these days because booze is "clean" and "regulated" as oppose to "bad" and "illegal". Huh? Frank also said that if we don't want to tell our children what to eat (umm, yes we do or else they'll live on Twinkies) then why should we tell their parents they can't gamble?

Virginia Republican Frank Wolf dropped a doozy by comparing online poker to the Abramofff scandal. He later used a quote from Simon and Garfunkel's hit song "The Boxer" to hammer home his point. And not to be outdone, Wolf compared online gambling to crack cocaine and said if legalized, it will become an "epidemic" of Biblical proportions (OK, we added the Biblical thing).

College Basketball Handicapping: Gearing up for Thanksgiving tournament action

11.21.2011     09:05 AM         Printer Friendly
Submitted by

SportsMemo.com blog entry.
We’re off to a sizzling 8-2 start in college basketball following Valparaiso’s 84-68 demolishing of Duquesne Sunday. The Crusaders were a 3-point home underdog as the host of the 2k Classic and money came in strong on Valpo prior to tip off. Strong support was also in favor of our top play Saturday as Long Beach State (+3) had an adjusted power rating line of at least three points following their big upset of Pittsburgh November 16th (a Big Drive winner for us). But we could have use an extra few points Saturday as we suffered a very tough loss when Long Beach State lost to San Diego State 71-67 in overtime. If you missed the final seconds of regulation and overtime, Long Beach was trailing by two points with three seconds remaining in regulation. The 49ers had the ball after a timeout planning their final possession and shot. Long Beach State planned a 3-point shot off a screen for premier point guard Casper Ware. But a San Diego State player committed an ill-advised foul on the screen as the ball was being put into play. Ware calmly made both free throws under pressure to send the game into overtime. Long Beach was already penalized by the officials when their top Read more

College Basketball Handicapping: UNLV enjoying Dave Rice's up-tempo offense

11.18.2011     06:16 AM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
UNLV first-year head coach Davie Rice's up-tempo offense was on full display in last night’s 95-70 win over Canisius. The Rebels scored 54 in the first half and didn't net a single point the final 3:30 on the game with the end of the bench playing. The betting markets have clearly caught on to this new found love for speed as yesterday's total opened 137.5 and closed 146.5 at Pinnacle. UNLV gets one more fast-paced opponent in Morgan State and then the style/tempo of the opposition changes dramatically: Cal Poly (slow), USC (slower), UC Santa Barbara (moderate), Wichita State (moderate) and Wisconsin (like a snail).


“The 28 assists and 33 baskets is indicative of a team that played well tonight and shared the ball,” Rice said.

“We have five guys who start the game, but we have a number of other guys who are really like starters and are playing with confidence,” Rice said.

Bank robber stinks at gambling, forced to turn self in after going bust

11.17.2011     02:58 PM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
Let's assume for a second you manage to pull off a bank heist. Better yet, how about two in five days? You would probably consider yourself very fortunate and want to ensure that your "earnings" would last so you wouldn't have to tempt fate with yet another bank robbery. Meet New Hampshire resident Timothy Burke (pictured left), who by all accounts is a solid game planner. He robbed a bank (the same one) twice in five days – albeit for a modest $6K payday. Following his accomplishments, Mr. Burke took a bus (isn’t Atlantic City much closer?) to Las Vegas where as you probably already suspected, proceeded to gamble all of said earnings away. Broke and on the lam, Burke decided it best to turn himself into police where he was arraigned for felony armed robbery. He was already out on bail for possession of heroin and pot. Nice.

Grantland reviews Las Vegas' Wynn Casino sportsbook

11.16.2011     09:31 AM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
Last week, Grantland did a review on Las Vegas' Caesars sportsbook. Longtime Vegas resident and Sportsmemo Handicapper Teddy Covers offered up his own opinion.


I have the utmost of respect for Todd Fuhrman, Senior Sportsbook Analyst for Caesars -- he's a great guy doing his best to get his corporate overlords to understand the nuances of the sportbook business. But Caesars isn't a market leader, their sportsbook is in the middle of the casino floor (read: loud, busy and smoky). It's certainly an adequate book, not a place I would tell people to stay away from (Flamingo sportsbook, for example), but it's not a Top 5 book in this bettor's opinion.



This week, Grantland takes a look at the Wynn's sportsbook. You can read the review here. Give us your own review in the comment box below.

Gaming attorney says online poker in US a long ways off

11.11.2011     12:25 PM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
Article from the Las Vegas Sun on the legalization of online poker in the United States. One gaming attorney remains skeptical and felt it may be a while before a bill is passed.


Rose said most commercial gaming companies in the United States would prefer federal legislation for online poker for a consistent policy across state lines. Several states, including Nevada, are developing their own online regulatory rules to avoid being behind other states.

Rose said Nevada could be at a disadvantage because of its small population base, if the federal government enables states to establish their own rules for their own residents.

Friday College Basketball Gambling News and Notes Part II

11.11.2011     10:38 AM     Andrew Lange     Printer Friendly
Submitted by Andrew Lange

SportsMemo.com blog entry.
Earlier this morning, I made a few observations for today's college basketball card. Following my post came the typical early season feeding frenzy as the betting markets went crazy. He is what I noticed…

For starters, Pinnacle hung totals on all the non-TV games just like they did last year. The limits were something like $200 but that didn't stop bettors from moving them 5 points or more. I will say that the numbers they put out were better than last year with some currently close to the opening number. 5Dimes pretty much copied Pinnacle and so did the Greek. Overall, the template looks to be the same as last season. The only question is once the markets settle down, will CRIS post totals? I went back through the archives to the first full slate last season. Unfortunately, CRIS didn’t post totals on a lot of those games so I would imagine they’ll stick to that game plan.  If you are in Vegas, Hilton posted totals on a majority of the games and Coasts and Caesars did as well. Some other Vegas shops were kind enough to accommodate the local fan base by hanging a total on the Missouri State-Nevada matchup.

I broke down practically every Read more

Books on Gambling: Avery Cardoza's Lost in Las Vegas

11.09.2011     12:36 PM     Printer Friendly
SportsMemo.com blog entry.
For those of you who like the read, author Avery Cardoza has just released his first fiction novel titled Lost in Las Vegas. Cardoza has written countless books on casinos and gambling and in 2010 took over ownership of Las Vegas' legendary Gambler's Book Club. Lost in Las Vegas is being called an "offbeat, dark comedy.” The promo makes it sound like something constructed by James Ellroy. It already looks as if the book will be made into a movie. You can read a review here. You can purchase the book at its personal website.


“What I went through to get this novel written, you cannot imagine. It was a nightmare, the worst experience of my life. It was a miserable, horrible, god-awful torture. Ironically, it’s a comedy/thriller. I went through stretches as long as 40 hours straight working on the book, with breaks only for the bathroom. No sleep, no food, just a trudge through Read more
