'Black Sunday' stuns bookies for
millions
Reuters - An unprecedented run of favorites winning last weekend in the
NFL has left the bookmaking industry paying out millions to its football
bettors, a leading online sportsbook has revealed.
Sixteen NFL games were played last Sunday and Monday, and twelve
favorites won and covered the spread. The culmination was Seattle's
demolition of Philadelphia on Monday Night Football. Good news for
bettors, but not so good for the bookmakers who have to write the
checks.
"We're calling it 'Black Sunday'," revealed Anthony Munnelly, Vice
President, Sports and Events, at Sports Interaction, the first online
sportsbook licensed and registered in the United States. "In my time in
the industry I have never seen a Sunday like it."
"It's very unusual to see that many favourites cover at any one weekend,
especially in this era of parity," added Munnelly. "I'm happy for our
customers, they won their money fair and square and good luck to them.
But when I'm writing my letter to Santa later this week I'm going to ask
for some underdogs to starting biting, before I end up on standing on
the street wearing a red hat and ringing a bell."
