Las Vegas sports books continue to feel sorry for bettors who were victimized by the replacement referees after taking the Green Bay Packers in the last Monday Night Football game.

In the latest show of sympathy, William Hill sports books will offer no juice for those backing Green Bay as 7.5-point favorites in its home game against New Orleans Sunday.

While it’s not quite refunding losing tickets completely like the D Las Vegas, the offer gives those still confident in the Packers a way to recoup some of their loss.

To win $100 on the Packers -7.5, for example, a bettor will only need to place a $100 wager. It would normally take $110 to win $100 because of the juice.

“If you like the Packers against the Saints on Sunday, William Hill is the place to bet,” spokesman Jimmy Vaccaro said in a statement. “Packers bettors got a bad beat because of the refs on Monday night. This is a chance to support the team again without having to pay the ‘juice’ to do so.”

William Hill operates 160 books throughout Nevada with several in Las Vegas, including at every PT’s and Sierra Gold location.
