Seriously what is the point.......

Of betting on games before they start......95% of the time you can get a better price in running and often a much better price.

I'm talking about games that are covered in running, which these days is alot if you have enough outlets.

Feel free to discuss.

I would assume that most people don't have that option available to them dave. I can't do that with my on-line, and if I called up my local to place a wager on a game that had already started, he'd laugh.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

no way 95% you'll get a better price, for exemple bost -orl game 1 and 2, or la- phoe game 1 , if someone wanted to bet boston or lakers ml or spread the best lines offered were before the game. But yes orlando and phoenix were +2000 at some point im sure. Live bet is a great way to bet but its not that easey.
