ESPN BET offered unprecedented boost wagers for Saturday’s Texans vs. Ravens game, and bettors were fully able to take advantage. As previously outlined, while most sportsbooks put a cap on boosts, ESPN BET had virtually none, providing the public with various edges.
Despite "losing money hand over fist" from yesterday’s game, in the words of Prophet Exchange co-founder Jake Benzaquen, ESPN BET is going right back to the well for Chiefs vs. Bills … although this time, with a bit of a twist.
ESPN BET boosted the Chiefs moneyline from +130 to +150 heading into kickoff. However, while there was no limit on Saturday's offer boosting the Ravens against the spread, that’s not the case for everyone this time around.
According to Benzaquen, the vast majority of bettors can pound Kansas City at +150 to their hearts content. However, ESPN BET is putting a cap on others based on certain customers past action and performance. Basically, they’re capping those they qualify as sharps to as low as $100 while most can bet up to $2.5 million.
As noted yesterday, it's another innovative tactic by a sportsbook that is barely over two-months old. ESPN BET launched on Nov. 14, and immediately made waves as the first (and only) book to offer a “no” on anytime touchdowns.
