The consensus in sports betting has long revolved around the phrase, “the house always wins.” However, there have been numerous occasions where underdogs cause massive upsets and sportsbooks publicly claim expensive losses.

I already told you about that. Whenever somebody says the house doesn’t always win you can bet they work for the house, and they’re just trying to get you to bet more. Meanwhile their “publicly claimed expensive losses” ignore all the other bets on the game where they came out ahead and in the end won the day. When the house tells you they don’t always win, that’s them winning some more.
