    My guess is 35% of the posters here do.

    BBD, my guess is a lot of the younger ones do. Over the years I had to decide whether I wanted to make $$ gambling or enjoy the action associated with it. I realized that betting on games for the sole purpose of them being on TV was not going to get me to the next echelon of sports gambling. I would say the last couple of years I have made VERY few bets because the games were televised. In my late teens, early twenties, if it was on a TV, God knows I had money on it.

          I don't think I've ever bet a game because of its television schedule.

                I usually bet a few just to watch even if I have no opinion.

                    I prefer when the game I bet on isn't televised.

                    I'd much rather just check the final score than watch my money lost on a moronic playcall, pick 6, kick return, bullshit pass interference call, etc etc.

                    Did I WIN or did I LOSE? I prefer black and white, the gray area is what makes you lose sleep.

                      Those are the games I watch to get on the other side of the inflated line movement. CFB had sometimes 6point total movement before game time.

                              so my answer I guess is YES

                                I can say I have done this before.

                                One of the reasons I got into betting soccer is the early in the day action from the European leagues.

                                  surprisingly very little, unless I am on a BIG TIME chase - watching bets on TV just doesn't cut it for me.......

                                    I don't always see my handicapping flaws if I just watch it on the ticker, lol.
