Betting lines, Vegas question

I heard this am that the Pats/Bucs game is officially off the board today. Now - I assume this means that Brady's injury is worse than initially thought? Why else take a game off the board? How does Vegas know these things? Why is the NFL so anti-gambling when they are so closely tied? :wink:

They are afraid of certain individuals getting "inside information" that the general public does not have.

Maybe it is a weather situation also, sometimes they will briefly take a game off the board for that.

You are correct Garb.

An injury to a key player where the extent of said injury is not known can cause a game to "come off the board".

If it was known that Brady was not playing, Vegas could easily adjust the line accordingly. And the same thing if he was playing.

The "unknown" status of Brady's injury would cause this.

Ten bucks says BB's is sitting in his office laughing his a** off on this one. :wink:

I don't think BB gives a flying crap about Vegas.
