Royal Review
By Victor Ludorem
A new day has dawned in Curacao fresh as the first snowflake of fall. Royal Sports has proudly given birth to our new website. Like a proud papa we invite the world to check out our newborn. So far all reports are extremely positive from our clients who love being able to login and place their bets at lightning speed even during crunch time. Of course some people are reluctant to change, we?ve even had a few comments that the new site is too fast for some people to read. To those people we suggest Evelyn Wood.
Now that our old system has replaced Cap?n Phil?s anchor on the sailing ship ?Insulinda? I once again have time to satisfy your requests and return to scribing some more Royal Reviews for those interested in behind the scenes sportsbook action.
All week long the debate raged on whether the ND/FSU number was the biggest trap or the worst line of the year. The Line Dept. thought it a bear trap; Marketing Dept. thought it was a manure line. We all know who won. Royal took a contrarian stance on this first contest out of the box on Saturday. The number went from 10 to 11.5 on the Criminoles.
The public showed us the color of their money and it was overwhelmingly shamrock. Notre Dame was parlayed, teased and even money-lined in more ways than Bubba Gump can cook shrimp. A ratio of 10 to1 feasted upon this one in Tallahassee, Final Score - Marketing 1 Line Room 0. Next up the public had no trouble getting through this time at www.BetRoyal.com to shovel their winnings on the LSU/Auburn game. The number opened the road favorite minus 3.5 and closed at -5. Thinking LSU was hot and Auburn w/o Cadillac Williams was not, the 5 to1 ratio of bettors grabbed the wrong Tiger by the tail as the wounded home Tiger wins 31-7.
After the huge upset in the Breeders Cup Classic, the betting distinctly focused on two games out west. The Pac10 game between Washington and Arizona St. was surely a dog-eat-dog affair on the field and for the book as the home dog ASU roasted the Huskies 27-16. Royal got the worst end of the hotdog while the majority of our clients sat back enjoyed the BBQ and poking us with the Sun Devil?s pitchfork. The Big12 matchup pitting the Cornshuckers from Nebraska against the HighTech Farmers from Texas A&M garnered more attention than the fat stock show at the Texas State Fair. So sure were the bettors that the Aggies were on a roll, averaging 45 points over the previous 3 games, the line jumped from 4 to -6. Nobody liked the Big Red side of this contest and rightfully so.
Show me a more pitiful performer than Nebraska this year and I?ll kiss the Bearded Lady after the game in her private tent on the Midway. The gambling gods must have known she ain?t my type as Big Red came up big in the fourth quarter scoring 3 TDs to save me from that fate and won outright 38-31. A dozen to1 ratio of bettors flirted with my date but came up empty handed here.
On Sunday we got slammed on one big game as the Steelers pounded the Ravens into submission 31-18. When all the smoke cleared and the first weekend torture test was over, the new Royal website performed as advertised and stood up like Viagra. Remember it?s not how you kiss the Bearded Lady but where.
