Take a long look in the mirror and ask why am I betting on Pre-Season NFL?

Some peeps in here got gaming issues I see...every year I watch fools take shots in the dark...guessing is always a losing proposition in gambling.

If your honest, youll admit you always bet on "who is gonna play their starters more" or some shit, like Vegas hasnt incorporated that into the line, jesus.

Why is it every year before baseball exhibition season or NFL preseason somebody comes out with statements like this?

Is there some risk betting preseason games of course there is but there is risk betting anything. But how many times before a game starts does the coach or manager of that team tell you what they want to accomplish or who is going to play and for how long. If you actually do some homework there is alot of advantages to playing preseason baseball or exhibition football and money to be made.

Will you take a bad backdoor moosing because one of the 4th stringers screw you in the last minute, sure will but I have had some terrible backdoor moosings as well in regular season.

There is money to be made if you take the time and do your homework

worthless thread

there can be edges in anything or nothing. it doesnt matter if the game is meaningful or not if there is value in the line.

sure some people bet for the action and cause they want something to watch. thats their business.

then there are those, like me, who believe that they can having a winning preseason just like a winning regular season.

money pays the same believe it or not.

why does it even matter?

LOL - it's a gambling forum, have to expect people to gamble. if it's within their means to throw extra $ down on a game (pre-season or not) i don't see what the problem is.

no riskier to me than playing a win total or a future in any sport.

I guess that means nobody in the history of betting has made a nice profit off of preseason

thanks for the heads up

Yes cause somewhere in this thread I said that no one in history has ever made a profit on preseason...

dont exaggerate or change meanings, it makes your position much more respectable. .


Point in this..its impossible to get an edge without serious inside (not vegas but football) inside connects, which Im sure all of you will now claim you have but really you dont, so your risking 10% on a guess, which is bad math.

Hey you can make money on any one game or period, but in the long run your playing house product here and you know it. There are no real trends, stats, historicals, team analysis, its just a guess and we all know it so do books.
