Should sportsbooks accept bets on lower-profile events?

[BobbyFK]

I am sure since the game lost that’s why there was no further investigation into it. What do you guys think of big wagers will small schools?

$66,500 on Texas Southern vs. Southern: Should sportsbooks accept bets on lower-profile events?

When a big bet shows up on a smaller sporting event, is it suspicious? Here's what betting houses do when they take such bets.

this is where imo the rigged thing come into play, with so many small type schools, it very hard to keep up with all, these are for the most part the guys that when they leave school , they will have to get out in the real world with real jobs, not the millions in the pro leagues, you cant tell me all these players and refs are honest

I suppose it's up to the book to determine they are on top of certain events well enough to offer it/them

Which book takes $66,500 on a small event? That is the question?!?!
With small event you might have info better than the books. Maybe the star player had the stomach flu, you heard but no one else knows. They probably don’t even know who is the star player because these teams are never covered.

I don't care if they take bets on rigged events, it really up to the bettor to bet on the winning side weather it rigged or not.

It's like betting on what name the Royals name their kids or what what dress stars wear to the Oscars - it all predetermined, and therefore rigged, so if I knew the right answer and was allowed to bet on it I'd expect to be paid.

Speaking from the perspective of the sportsbook, I want to take every bet I can. I want the absolute maximum amount of money wagered at my sportsbook as possible. If I get beat or someone finds an edge it's my job to fix it.
I think BOL has a great model for risk management. There is no limit on how much you can bet on any given game, but as you continue to max bet the odds change. You could bet 100k on some no name ncaab team, but at what price...

I think the same is in place at bookmaker. Sometimes I see huge price change and I am going damn someone must have dropped $50K!

Yep same thing at BM. Two best books by far: BOL and BM.
