    **warning to all for nfl season

    almost every game will come down to 1 or 2 plays, that's the nature of the nfl.
    and there will be late touchdowns, fumbles, interceptions, missed field goals, etc, again the nature of the beast.

    so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE before you guys start a million threads that rant on about how you should've won your bet, just write it down on a piece of paper instead so we don't have to read about every bad beat.

    almost every bet you lose in the nfl will be because of one or two stupid plays by your team, or miracle plays by the opposition.

    I LOL at all these guys posting about how they can't wait for NFL. There is a reason that this is the sport the bookies let you bet the most money on and it isn't because the players are kicking their asses.

    It's mainly turnovers that decide point spread covers

    Not really, 80% of games the spread does not even matter, 50% are not "close" and are closer to blowouts.

    Just a lot of whiners.

    The fix is in, if the bet doesn't win. We all know that.

    We will see a lot of crying, just like in the NBA.

    wtf ar u even talking about? u took a few bad beats last season in close games and warning the forum?

    FFS we are big boys and we know what we're getting into, many games are blowouts, go wayyyy over the total, or way under the total.. just overlooking that or what?

    u dont like reading bad beat stories? stay off SBR u know better

    most sports comes down to a couple big plays here and there.. nothing worse than hearing babies cry over spilled milk though.. Part of the game, fellas.. Get it together!
