(continued from page 8)
CA: You mean the college bowl games.
Pete: Yes. Although the Super Bowl is also very big.
CA: How big is New Year's Day?
Pete: About $200,000.
CA: But what about for the Super Bowl?
Pete: You may get that for the Super Bowl.
CA: One game.
Pete: Yeah, one game. You may get more on that particular game.
CA: Have you ever taken a bath on the Super Bowl, or vice versa, had a big winning day because the book was lopsided or a team won that shouldn't have?
Pete: Well, I had one that happened 20 years ago. Like I said, I was taught by a very, very smart person. And Pittsburgh was playing Dallas, and the line opened up Pittsburgh three and a half.
