    Anyone else get a rush out of betting the 'under'?

    Most people like to watch a game and cheer for touchdowns or that big first down made on a 3rd and 10. Not me - my rush never feels bigger watching a team run down the middle for 2 yards, or watching a QB get sacked to put his team out of field goal range. I especially love illegal block penalties called on a big kick runback, and when teams fail on a 4th and 1 inside the red zone.

    Hoping tonight's Jaguars-Ravens game goes way under. I think XFL games were more exciting than this game will be tonight.

    Get your reloads in and take the 'under'!

    What's with all the under threads?


    I'm pretty sure unders do shorten your life span.

    I only like the under in soccer. So in case the game is boring I can at least make money. Betting under in football is no fun because they score points on good defensive plays like interceptions and fumbles.

    there is no worse feeling in gambling than having a big bet on an under, and then watch it get destroyed in front of your eyes quick...so im not a big fan of unders overall, but if the game is screaming under to me i usually play it for a quarter or a half to get it over with asap.

    do love unders when its pouring..made some huge scores parlaying all the quarters under in bad weather games, basically turning one winner into 12/1...even more fun after the win to see ppl celebrating their petty $100 straight wager and talking about what a mortal lock it was when you just turned the obvious into a 4 team parlay!!

    love unders, especially in bases. CFB, not so much. also tough to be unders in today's NFL with all of the phantom 15-yard penalties.

    which means your money is scared and you are scared overall..recipe for disaster..using the trying to hang on mentality is very dangerous as your handicapping will be biased.

    No sh!t mh217....haha!
    Last night's baseball game was the perfect under opportunity in my opinion. Upped my normal wager size because of the value it presented!
