Question

Caesars might not mind if the 49ers tumble to the defending champion Chiefs. When the Niners are good, they consistently draw a lot of action in Nevada, particularly in Reno/Tahoe.

"Whenever a Bay area team does well, we usually don't do well," Pullen said. "The Niners resonate throughout the country, but there's a fervent fan base that comes to Nevada from California. As of right now, it's considerable liability.""We'll be Chiefs fans," said Craig Mucklow, vice president of trading for Caesars Sports.""The teams we're most concerned with are the Bills, 49ers and Cowboys," Mucklow said. "Any team from the Bay Area, we cheer against. So now, the 49ers are the only real trouble spot for the book."The heavier volume of wagers is on the Chiefs, but the bigger bets are on the 49ers," Caesars vice president of trading Craig Mucklow said, noting heavy San Fran Super Bowl futures liability continues to be a strong factor in his shop's need. "If you bake in the futures, we're still Chiefs fans."Those bigger bets Mucklow alluded to have mostly been on the moneyline. Almost right out of the gate last week, Caesars took a $1 million play on 49ers moneyline -120. On Thursday, a $500,000 49ers -125 bet landed, and this morning, there was a $136,000 49ers -130 bet placed.
