Behind the Counter: How sportsbooks and the betting public were impacted this weekend

Phill Gray is head of trading for Sports Interaction. He breaks down the most notable results of the weekend and whether they went in favor of either the house or the bettors.

The Chiefs failed to cover the closing spread of 14 points against the Titans. The book won on anytime touchdown scorer props. Jets' 20-17 upset of Buffalo was the biggest bettors' win of the day. Tampa Bay's 16-13 win over Los Angeles was a big bet for the book. Dolphins' 35-32 win against Bears was also a non-covering.   The books won seven games out of nine. They made a profit on three of them. It was their biggest win. New York's divisional upset over Buffalo held 1/3 of all stake.

Georgia beat No. 1 ranked Alabama 27-13 at home. Tennessee almost came through the backdoor against the Bulldogs. LSU upset Alabama 32-31 in overtime. The public bet heavily on the Crimson Tide. The sportsbooks and the public were impacted by this weekend's betting action. They are behind the counter. It is possible to bet on sports betting without knowing the outcome.

Houston Astros won the World Series on Saturday night. Sports Interaction won a season-long outright for the Canadian book. The Blue Jays racked up the most championship liability to win the 2022 World Championship.
