Other casinos fared just fine with the Clemson victory.
Caesars said 52 percent of bets, and 54 percent of the money wagered was on Alabama. And despite taking a $110,000 bet on Clemson, Westgate SuperBook director John Murray said as of Sunday, 72 percent of the cash was on the Crimson Tide.
Oddsmakers were hard at work during the National Championship game. After releasing CFP title odds for next year, with Alabama the favorite at 3/2 (implied odds 40 percent), the line was changed to 5/2 (28.57 percent).
Meanwhile, Clemson went from 7/2 to 9/5 to become the 2020 favorite.
Ohio State and Georgia are third at 12/1. Michigan rounds out the top five at 14/1.
Vegas Wants ChampionshipThe UNLV football program doesn t seem poised to compete for the CFP anytime soon, but officials in Las Vegas still hope to bring Sin City a National Championship.
Las Vegas Events President Pat Christenson said Monday that the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority will likely pursue landing the CFP National Championship after the Raiders $1.8 billion stadium is completed in 2020.
One of the advantages of Las Vegas is it s easier to get to. And with 150,000 rooms, you re getting to get a much better room rate, Christenson explained. Another great reason is that you re here in Vegas. That s sort of our view of the college football playoffs.
