  • How do Vegas Oddsmakers make the point spread in sports gambling? Is it true that they produce a line to help balance action? The Prez sits down with Golden Nugget Race & Sports Book Executive Director Tony Miller to go over what goes behind creating the spread. Some of the topics Prez goes over with Tony include:
    -How are the lines made in Vegas?
    -Why are the spreads at most sportsbooks the same?
    -Why are some teams inflated in regards to the spread?
    -Which sports are the easiest to bet and make money on?
    -How are straight bets, parlays and teasers broken down by action?
    -NFL vs other sports in regards to betting action?
    -How do sportsbooks make money?

    Prez, very impressed with Tony Miller, stand-up-guy and Executive Sports Book Director.
    I was in The "Nugget" 25 years ago when Joe Carter Hit the World Series walk-off Homer.

    Big fan of what you guys do at WagerTalk! Awesome video! I’m curious to know why Tony shares this type of info with us? His info can potentially help people beat his sports book, so why help us with predicitions, & other info? I love that he helps us with info though!

    Hey I think Kelly gave you the thumbs down. LOL. This was vey informative although the just subtract power rankings to get the line is interesting. I will look at this more. I have Always liked Tony and the Golden Nugget, but they stopped comping drinks. What's up with that! The margins may be low, but when you drop 3-5 dimes (not much to yawl, but hey) on 6 bets wet my beak would ya. The entire wager talk team is great. Thanks to all for your efforts!

    Great video. And thanks for doing the interview from a BETTOR's perspective. A lot of interviews with Bookmakers seem to be more about the Books and not about how the Bettors can use the info in their decisions. One video request though, can you do a video about in-game betting? The line swings seem to be huge in-game and would love to know how it's done - is it by computer algorithms or does one employee just follow the game and continually make changes to the numbers?

    Obviously a large bet can come in and throw the balance off but it doesn’t mean that’s not their goal. I wish he would have asked the guy what the scenario for a book would be. I bet in ideal world, they’d want it to be 50/50

    • @darrenlord2468
      @darrenlord2468 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      But Its very different now with the Internet,prop bets, teasers,etc.. If you wanted the Patriots 1000× timer I just call another book to put 500× the Dolphins & the profit comes from the vig 10% automatically.

    • @arthurfonzarelli9828
      @arthurfonzarelli9828 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      With that said what I meant to say Tony and his team of handicappers come up with a -10 on a game but the betting markets have it at - 7, they're riding with the -7. Nobody is sticking themselves out there like that. Rightfully so I guess that's risk management 101. Haven't heard the whole interview but just thought I'd add that, maybe he brings that up later
