Video Transcript
- Welcome to Winners and Losers Week Six, everyone. I'm Minty Bets here with Jeff Stonebeck, director of trading for MGM Resorts. Jeff, what a day it's been. The house must have won some money, huh?
- Yeah, we had our best day of the season, so the bettors today, they took it on the chin. It was a tough day for the bettors.
- Wow, OK, so who did you guys win on?
- Well, a really big game for us was the Bucs beating the Packers in the late game. That was a huge game not only for the straight bets, but parlays and teasers. So that-- that game actually rivaled the Chiefs losing last week as probably one of our biggest games of the year, so it was that big.
Then when the Broncos beat the Patriots, that was another good game for us in the morning. We had somebody buy half a point on the Patriots down to six and a half. They put up $275,000 to win $200,000. And then somebody else bet the moneyline on the Patriots, $100,000 to -340 to win about $29,000, so that was a good game for us.
The Eagles coming back on the Ravens was also another big win for us. And believe it or not, the Falcons finally getting on-- getting a W, beating the Vikings, was a big game for us.
- Finally the Falcons. And who were the winners of the public?
- They didn't have many. Actually, they only had one significant win. That was the Bears beating the Panthers. They opened as a two and a half point dog and closed a one and a half point dog. And a small loser for the house, small loser for-- or small winner for the bettors, I guess you could say, was the Lions over the Jaguars. But it was a tough day for the bettors a good day for the book, and just the way it fell this week.
- Hopefully you guys were on the winning side. And if not, there's always next week. Thank you so much, Jeff.
- Thanks for having me.
