Las Vegas Super
Bowl odds offer less value
The betting odds on the 2008
Super Bowl at the Las Vegas sportsbooks offer little value,
compared to their online counterparts.
By
comparing the odds on the 2008 Super Bowl at the Las Vegas
sportsbooks and the online bookmakers, it's easy to understand
why so many people a choosing the offshore online sportsbooks to
place their bets. Simply, there is no value to the bettors at
the Las Vegas bookies. Let's look at some examples. The Las
Vegas odds on the 2008 Super Bowl are showing the New England
Patriots as the favorite to win the game with odds 1/5.
Meanwhile, the online sportsbook
Bodog Sports is offering odds
on the Patriots to win the Super Bowl at 2/5. With the 2008
Super Bowl favorite, the difference is small, but if we take the
rest of the NFL teams, the gap between the Vegas odds and the
offshore odds is getting bigger and bigger. For example, the Las
Vegas Super Bowl odds list the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis
Colts with odds 4/1. Meanwhile the online bookie Bodog Sports
has those two teams with odds 11/2. Considering that the Super
Bowl in general is one of the most bet on event in the world, if
you wager 1,000 (of whatever currency) at most of the Vegas
sportsbooks and the Cowboys win the Bowl - your win will be
4,000, but the same bet at the offshore bookmakers will pay out
5,500.
