Super Bowl 2015: Odds Move Overnight with Late Seattle Money

a reply to: MKMoniker
Well, crap!

Spoke too soon. Patriots ahead right AT half-time.

WHAT?!!!!

Tied at half-time!

Great game so far!

Now if we can just get through Katie Perry and back to the game.

Those who make bets in my family have stuck with over/unders for this game mainly because either team could win, moreso than many other games in my opinion. I mean any team can win on any given day, but each of the teams can be so explosive on offense, and both steady or unpredictable on defense, that it is hard to say who will come out on top. Seattle is up by 10 as I write this, nearing the end of the 3rd. In the back of my mind I was thinking there was no way the Patriots could lose this game, but I should know better, lol. After Seattle knocked off Denver, why couldn't they knock off the Pats?

Hmmm, didn't really mean anything, as the Seachickens lost. Aw, shucks!

Karma

I had a dream that predicted the outcome of this game this morning. Not a final score or anything like that, just a sign as to who would win. And it was not the team I wanted to win. I was for the Seahawks winning before my premonition, and I was hoping it was wrong.

In the dream, I was going around to various places doing money pick-ups not related to football. At one of the pick-ups I was going through the change, and found a coin that looked like a modern U.S. quarter. (You know, as all the newer quarters have a different backside/tails image on them.) This particular coin said Patriots on the back. It was different so I stuck it in my wallet, and then woke up.

This is the first super bowl I watched. In fact the first football game I watched from beginning to end. If the seahawks would of won Seattle would have gone nuts again. I dont know if that happens in all football games, but dam that was one bad call on that final play, they should have just run it even if that other team in white were expecting it, they would have gotten through.

I dont know about bets, but I bet a lot of people are felling like this song right now.

So close but no cigar. I do not think they really expected or were thinking of an interception right there and then, or they would not have called that play. Oh well! There is always next year. I suppose now, I wont be hearing non stop about the seahawks from people around the area. It was sort of annoying, but I see why people watch these games, it is pretty entertaining.

I almost perfectly called that score though just 3 points off!

In Las Vegas, "Ocean's 11" met "Belichick's 11" .....

SURGE OF NEW ENGLAND MONEY UP TO KICK-OFF, PUTS PATRIOTS BACK AT -1 UNDERDOGS

It was an exciting game, alright. But I saw enough hinky stuff by the fourth quarter to easily recognize the "designated" winner.

The NFL is becoming more like WWE every year... Can't wait to see next years script.... Who needs to win a trophy? or get into the hall of fame next?

Last time I checked, 'right on the head', meant exact.

Well, if you want to place some bets early, here are the long-range odds for next year's Super Bowl

ODDS RIGHT NOW FOR SUPER BOWL 2016

But you're right. Pro football is too political anymore. Big Money will do that. Too many people are involved to take a dive and get paid under-the-table. It's almost like forming a new political party: the Take A Stand to Take A Dive Party.

Even disappointed Seattle fans are shaking their heads over that final, damning play:

SEA HAWKS LOST BECAUSE OF THE WORST CALL IN SUPER BOWL HISTORY

Slight hyperbole, but it was a stunningly bad call so near the end of the game.

P.S.
I've taken out and put back in the address of that Seattle Times article, because some stealthy, greedy types had attached their click-marketing numbers to the article. (So everytime someone opens the story, they get paid.) Happens more than you would guess.

Now that the dust has settled after Superbowl 2015, here are the changes - and damage reports:
