The “Juice” is Loose on Friday at Sportsbook.com



We are just a couple days away from Super Bowl XLIV and if you haven’t already made a wager on the big game, Friday is the perfect day to do so.  Reason being, is that as is always the case at Sportsbook.com on Fridays, they offer reduced juice (-105) on nearly all basketball and football games including the Super Bowl XLIV line. 

According to Sportsbook.com spokesperson Dave Staley, “The fun with reduced juice doesn’t just begin and end with the Super Bowl line, but it includes a number of propositions as well, including the Coin Toss, where heads and tails are each at a scant -101 juice.”  Staley added that “In addition to the reduced juice wager opportunities we have on Super Bowl XLIV, we are also offering a Money Back Special where if you wager on the Player to Score LAST TD prop for Sunday's Saints vs. Colts game and If the last touchdown of the game is from at least 40 yards, winning wagers will be doubled up to $50.00 for this specific prop.”

So far the betting public is behind the Colts as 68 percent of action on the spread is backing Indy -4.5. The Over is also a very popular choice with bettors, as 74 percent of the money here is behind the Over 56.5.  The game opened Indy -5 and moved to -5.5, before settling down to the current number of  Colts -4.5.  It appears that the only injury concern for both squads involves Colts DE Dwight Freeney who is listed as questionable with a bad ankle.  But you have to think Freeney plays, after all, it is the Super Bowl. 

Staley concluded that “Reduced Juice provides great value for the customer, not only for straight plays, but for parlays as well, where the payouts are greater as a result of players taking advantage of the smaller juice.”
