Watching the whole game

BGS 9.5 · 08-01-09, 08:48 PM

Not in a million years. I watch my bets sporatically on the ticker....

I am a huge Tigers fan, they were on the Sunday night game last week, didn't watch 1 pitch.

i hear you bro. the only thing i can say is that back in the day when nbc used to do their game of the week i always watched it. the sport has gone down big time it used to be intriguing but not anymore.

Way back when there was just 1 game, maybe another on Monday night, that was different. Nowadays, forget it. I can get anywhere from 1-4 games on a weekend day, and I don't care to watch any of them. The luster wore off years ago....

I watch the ticker. Watching the game is only in case of the computer going down.

I'd rather watch the Yahoo Gamechannel or something like that. More exciting trying to guess what will happen the next time the screen updates.

BGS 9.5 · 08-01-09, 09:03 PM

100% agreed Reload, I was actually going to make a thread on this.

I "watch" the games on CBS MLB Scoreboard. I prefer their layout to that of the ESPN or Yahoo scoreboards. It's fun to watch all of the ongoing action at once.

I agree with Reload...I'd rather be surprised with the next update...good or bad.

I watch the pregame show on Braves, the whole game and after the game show. I don't miss anything between 6-11 pm. Am I the only one?

I watch as much as I can of each Cardinal game but it's hard. I am a huge Cardinal fan. I usually lay in bed before I go to bed and watch my ticker. I have the same one as JJ.

I watch a lot of games from start to finish. But I rarely listen to the mediots in the booth providing the play-by-play and commentary for a televised game from start to finish. If Tim McCarver or Rick Sutcliffe are part of the broadcast, the MUTE button is applied from the get-go.

paco · 08-02-09, 09:14 AM

I am usually an "over" better, so cbssports, i just keep looking for the red rectangle everywhere

When I don't like the play-by-play announcers I switch to the spanish broadcast where they announce every run scored as Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnn!

I have games in tv in backround usually the Yankees. I watch scores on sbr lines and CBS and ticker.

I watch three games at once, it's alot higher pace.I watch six games a day, three TiVoed games in the morning and three games live at at night. I do get bored watching one game at a time though.

of course it was more fun when we were kids to watch games. but if there's a game on and i have huge money on it, then it's NP to watch it.. but without any money on it, forget about it.

but overall, i do prefer to just sit back and watch CBS screen.. much easier and more entertaining and less tiring. it's tough to even watch 2 games at once by having to flip back and forth, but watching CBS is very easy to follow 14 games at once, and really more exciting..

But why would you need to watch the game you have money on if you have already beat the closing line.

CaneDawg · 08-02-09, 11:11 AM

i only watch if i have a bet down

then i watch the golf tourney and flip back for the score

paver, consider yourself lucky i am not going to that bash, cause i would have kicked your ass..

pdx107 · 08-02-09, 11:20 AM

Sometimes yes, but always online or at a casino and I am usually always doing something else while watching it......
soccer/football/hockey however are an entirely different story
