I'm big on the Steelers.

For anybody who uses Realbettors, ties in teasers are a push, right? I have one (stupid Cincy comeback against Green Bay) that was in a 6-team teaser that was graded a push for the overall bet. I thought the new policy was to just take out the pushed bet and make it now a 5-team teaser like most books do, right?

Yep, probably just me. I just think the Steelers suck, but a home dog in need of a win and Jay Cutler's involved. I'm staying away, GL.I'm big on the Steelers.

thanks. I am guessing it is a system hang-up because it hasn't self-corrected and is still graded as an overall push in my graded plays.

good posting here bud, wish i would have been paying attn. I grabbed some of the Steelers ML before the game, but still hoping to catch some live betting since i am pretty close to break even on this game unless the Bears win by 1 or 2 points

i've liked the Bears all week, and don't think i can take the Steelers until i see double digits at this point. i was tempted at +7.5, but just don't know if the Steelers will be able to do much against the Bears tonight.
I hate gambling

This is such an odd feeling.....watching this game knowing the Bears 10 1H already hit and my Bears 21 G, Bears/over teaser and total 42 are starting strong.
Can't WAIT to see how the last 3 lose, likely in epic fashion.

Footballguy
i grabbed that +14.5 too, thought the Steelers would at least put up a fight but not as sure anymore.
Speaking of which, where the heck has Clorox been? Guy needs to chime in and give us a read on these Steelers, are they dead in the water?

Daryl Richardson played just one snap in Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Cowboys.
Richardson didn't receive a touch and has been battling a foot injury since Week 1. The foot got stepped on in Sunday's blowout loss, and the second-year running back was done for the day. Isaiah Pead and Benny Cunningham handled the backfield load, though neither was overly impressive. Richardson's status for Thursday night's Week 4 game against the 49ers looks questionable at best.

Stilllirs get ball 1st 2H. If they can find a way to score, I think the over 20 will hit.
I want to play the under. Its the smart play.

staying under the radar is definitely where you want to be. Much better to lose one prop you should have won, rather then them get that itchy trigger finger with your account and cut props from you

Bears are looking like they deserve to lose this game. they're offensive play calling is just way too conservative considering how the Steelers have charged back.
ETA: Story of my day. As soon as i type that Cutler throws the 41 yard pass to Marshall. But this will still apply if they play conservative here and only hope to burn some clock and a FG

I know most online books are justifying not paying off the Richardson under X yards and other similar props that involve Daryl RIchardson by stating "nfl.com states he didn't play." RealBettors is paying off the Richardson under X bettors. He played a snap, he wasn't inactive. This change will have to be made manually since RB does use nfl.com for official stats. Message me if any of you have issues.

Correct. I pushed for it and got it for you guys. Here is the exact rule if you didn't see it in your RB account private message.
Standard Teaser Rules:
- A tie or "no action" in a standard teaser of three or more teams reduces the teaser to the next lowest number; for example, a four teamer with a tie becomes a three teamer.
- In NFL, College Football, NBA, WNBA and College Basketball, a two-team teaser resulting in Tie/Win or Tie/Tie is considered a push and all money is refunded. In addition, no action in one leg of a two-team teaser, will result in no action for the teaser and all money refunded.
- Tie/Loss in any leg of any teaser is graded as a loss.
- Teasers are not allowed on "alternate spreads" or "alternate totals" for any sports.
- If any part of a Teaser was made on an obviously "bad" line or after an event has started, RealBettors Sports reserves the right to cancel the complete Teaser

This is a week late - but I like reading about the business end so I thought I'd share.
Last weekend we had a major boxing match, a huge college football game, and a full slate of NFL games, including one of the most anticipated clashes of the regular season. The consensus estimate is that Vegas saw a 50 percent increase in sports betting handle, compared to the same week last year. That’s huge, but short of the historic heights some predicted.
General interest in Mayweather vs. Alvarez was, in some ways, stronger than the betting interest. Typically, action on a Vegas fight is strongest at the host property — where those attending will often bet the night of the event. Other Strip properties benefit from the overflow, generating strong handle on the fight. Sportsbooks outside of Vegas do not benefit in the same way. Saturday’s fight followed this formula, with Strip sportsbooks reporting five to eight times the action on the fight compared to the weekend’s most heavily bet football game — while offshore books reported less action on the fight than their most heavily bet football games.
In a historical sense, this fight was often compared to 2007’s De La Hoya vs. Mayweather. On Saturday, Mayweather was a -280 favorite — his shortest price since that fight with Oscar. But even at this relatively cheap lay, the average bettor is not thrilled about risking almost $3 for every $1 won. The public’s strong preference to “risk a little to win a lot” made it less appealing to simply back the champ to win. Johnny Avello, sportsbook boss at the Wynn, told me on ESPN Radio on Monday that the big payoffs offered for a knockout in a specific round generated a disproportionately large amount of interest. When Mayweather won by decision, it was the best possible outcome for many sportsbooks.
Some lucky bettors did benefit from C.J. Ross’s controversial 114-114 scorecard. Mayweather winning by majority decision paid off at 21-to-1. That’s $2,100 won for every $100 risked. Can you imagine the thrill of cashing that ticket after watching Mayweather’s dominance?
The college football game of the year — Alabama vs. Texas A&M — generated a betting handle comparable to the weekend’s most heavily bet NFL game. No CFB game since 2011’s Alabama vs. LSU has accounted for so much action. A&M’s late touchdown to backdoor cover +7.5 or better was a significant win for the house. Seventy-three percent of the cash on the game at Sportsbook.ag backed Alabama, and thus lost on that late score. The effect was less intense at sharper sportsbooks, which drew more A&M money. The LVH’s Jay Kornegay estimates that Nevada sportsbooks won $5 million combined on the late A&M touchdown.
For the second weekend in a row, the house won in the NFL. Shops with a high percentage of public players, such as Bovada.lv, named Tampa Bay’s cover as especially profitable, in addition to covers by Seattle and San Diego. The Chargers winning outright scooped teasers and money line bets too. Denver’s win and cover over the Giants was a bright spot for players. Even the Wise Guys got crushed: LVH reported the biggest sharp action on Rams, K.C., and Jacksonville for an 0-3 day.
Next week’s early talk centers on gigantic spread curiosities, with Ohio State, UCLA, and Miami all favored by the most points in school history. Seattle’s 20-point spread over Jacksonville is the second biggest in the last six NFL seasons.

RB is ####### killing it this football season. My only complaint is having to constantly refresh the screen during timeouts for the live lines to show up. On the other sites I use for live lines the numbers show up and refresh automatically.
Actually while I'm here that reminds me...one other problem I have is with the limits setup on the live lines. Say I bet a game o42.5 and I bet the limit...I can't bet the over or under at all the rest of the game. After I make that over bet the QB gets hurt and I want to get out of my over position, I'm stuck. For some reason nobody still does it as good as matchbook did it 3-4 years ago....on Matchbook live betting if I bet an u42.5 and o42.5 on the same game the software recognized that I couldn't lose both bets and would put the funds immediately back in my account. I also think limits should reset each time a new set of lines is offered.

Add me to the list of no props at RB. Also no live betting. What was the worst thing for me yesterday, was trying to play the bears for about 20 minutes before kickoff. I could get onto the site, but when i hit submit bet it just froze. Tried and tried. Was about to send kurt emails to get my play in that way or at least try. F'n comcast screwed me. Well it really wasn't the worst thing that happened to me yesterday, that would have to be the puking vqueens. When a holder throws a td on you, you know your in trouble. Live betting doesn't work for me there either. I have to place all those at SB.
