LVRJ: Vegas Sportsbooks ride Hawks wave
Sports books ride Seahawks all the way to bank

If this game pitted the sharps against the squares, it was a one-sided slaughter of the public. The Seattle Seahawks, who got a majority of the sharp action, stuck it to Denver 43-8 on Sunday in the type of Super Bore that launched the proliferation of proposition bets.
But.. About the safety...
Will there be a safety? The “yes” side cashed, for the third consecutive year, at plus-550. The first scoring play of the game being a Seattle safety paid off 50-1 to 60-1 odds. The first score of the game being anything other than a touchdown returned plus-150. Add up the three results, Bogdanovich said, and his books took about a $140,000 loss.
