The return of the Big Ten was huge, no doubt about it. Even though the SEC claims to be the king and has won a few more national titles than most lately, the Big Ten\u2019s still huge business for us,\u201d<\/strong> said Nick Bogdanovich, the director of trading at William Hill, to Casino.org<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cWisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State \u2013 those are huge-bet games. To have them back was a big shot in the arm. The first five weeks, we were done at 5 o\u2019clock our time. Now, with the Mountain West, we have some 7:30 games. The combo of the two is really good.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nBogdanovich joked that a JV game, if the only game on TV at the time, would get bettors\u2019 interest. Hence, the made-for-TV nature of the MAC schedule makes it made for gambling as well. When its season starts next week, all six games will be played on Wednesday, and all six will be on TV. The following week, the six games are split between Tuesday and Wednesday and, again, are all on TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe MAC\u2019s the perfect example. If it\u2019s Tuesday and Wednesday and it\u2019s on TV, they\u2019re betting it,\u201d <\/strong>Bogdanovich said. \u201cThe MAC\u2019s got good football. All you\u2019ve got to do is look at the NFL. Up and down the rosters, there\u2019s MAC kids on it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the SEC and ACC have played through the COVID-19 pandemic, the debut of the Big Ten last week provided a lift to sportsbooks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":153528,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1074],"tags":[81757,80967,80969,81847,81848,81846,81752],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
