    Any preseason NFL bettors out there?

    For degenerates like me the NFL season starts in early August. Anyone else bet on the preseason games?

    those second halves are great betting propositions, with all they 7th round draft picks cluttering up the field. you have no patience or discipline if you bet this junk. hopefully the preseason will be cancelled. all they need is non-betting scrimmages to prepare. colleges don't have pre-season games and no one seems to care.

    Preseason can be hit or miss for obvious reasons, but it's definitely not something to skip. What other time of year are coaches so open about information and game plans? It would be silly to not bet the preseason.

    YES, I've said many times that NFL preseason is easier to beat than NFL regular season. I haven't had a losing preseason since 1999.

    EX: Would you take Romo, Kitna and McGee or Tebow Quinn and Orton All 3 are going to play in the same game.

    If they keep the same pace as last year

    PreSeason Game 1 - Starters Play a Drive or 2 if a short first drive
    PreSeason Game 2 - Starters Play 1st Qtr
    PreSeason Game 3 - Starters play almost a half
    PreSeason Game 4 - Rookies and UDFA and others that are trying to make a roster spot trying to make the team

    Then look at what teams and coaches want to win in the pre season to prove a point

    Also look at teams that have new coaches they will want their starters to play a little longer to understand the scheme

    Look for teams switching formations such as 4-3 to 3-4. With 1.5 weeks of practice till pre-season game 1 - Watch for those teams to lose pretty bad in game 1 and get a favorable line game 2.


    Not going to say that I am going to be 88% but I will probably play 4, 3-5 team parlays per week and plan on hitting 2 of the 4 that will win money back plus some if you hit a 5 teamer and pick up a couple dimes great if you lose a couple dollars you have a whole season

    Sharps and touts always swear they dominate soft lines in preseason, but I'm never in favor of betting exhibitions.

    Why wouldn't you take advantage of situations where the coaches reveal their player rotations and game plans before the game and then more or less stick with it?

    Some do and some do not. Check out Ohio St.'s early home schedule. Glorified scrimmages.

    They are hard to cap. But sometimes its not about winning or losing. It's about having action.

    GL Sir, I don't bet to much NFL and when I do its most likely the wrong side of a very tight line. So I try and stay away from meaningless games where I will get screwed even more. But, Hey you can always send me banker pick

    LT, spot on, again, even tho we disagree with our picks most weeks.

    F yeah, the preseason is FULL of GREAT value on teams, like the Colts, to fade.
    If you study team depth (and I mean beyond starters), it takes a LOT of work, but there is a TON of value in teams with second tier depth, which is why I say fade IND.

    Totals are too hard to predict, unless there's a 2nd or 3rd sting QB that can sling it - but there is MORE value in the preseason than the reg season. It just takes more work to find, is all.

    Preseason is a gem mine if you study tape from year to year and study player transactions/the draft. This year, stick with teams with depth and fade GB early. I think you'll do OK with that strat (and always fade Indy, their depth is HORRIBLE).
