    do you watch all the games you bet on?

    Or at least try to watch them? I've almost always compelled to watch. For me its more than half the fun.

    Though tonight I bet on 3 late games, San Jose, golden st, and Arizona st. I watched all of the san Jose game (nice win in the SO), glanced at the golden st score, but knew nothing of the asu game till after Golden St ended. To my pleasure, they also won, so it was 3-0 late.
    Anyone else place their bets and just check later that day or even the next day??

    I can't not watch. Sometimes I want to, and say I'll just check at the end of the night. But I'll have the gamecast open 5 minutes later.

    I had New Mexico St. Today and I wouldnt even kno how to watch it aside from a bar.

    Panthers game was on but I stepped out.

    Always checking scores tho.

    I find I do better if I dont watch the game.....less stressful.

    But I should be watching the games to learn....I have a lot to learn.

    Back in college I used to watch with a pillow over or near my head
    and the sound off and music on...
    Because I usually had to hide my eyes...

    Now, I call my plays in early and usually head
    for the golf course. I don't like to check my scores
    until I finish my eighteen....Like my name infers...
    I check my scores at the 19th Hole.

    Brock..Nice 3-0 on the late games...Ka-Ching!!

    I bet on one sport. Makes it pretty easy to watch every bet I have.

    Half the fun is watching it, even if you feel like a complete dumbass when you lose.

    Someone else said it earlier: NOT watching is a lot less stressful. I've also realized that the players can't hear me through the television when I yell at them.

    Not usually, unless it's a big game.

    And never ever if I'm betting a basketball under.

    I used to watch all of them many years ago, but now just check in every so often to see how it is going.

    Wow, Im surprised at the amount of guys who dont watch. For me its kind of a sick feeling to bet, not watch, then check scores hours later not knowing

    If you stopped watching the games you'd probably be better at picking winners.

    I follow the scores periodically to see if it's close or in my favor. Then I may watch the last part of the game. Sometimes watch the whole game. In horse racing never bet a race I can not watch either live or replay.

    I think any bettor would benefit from watching his games, but it's also frustrating as hell when things aren't going good. Last night while watching the Iona game (where they blew a double digit lead with like 5 minutes left in the game and were getting 2.5 points) I ended up shattering an Xbox 360 controller.

    This thread was basically to brag that he went 3-0 on the late games.

    In answer to your question Broke - no it would be near impossible to watch 500+ games a month and I have better things to do with my time.

    For myself and 90% of bettors there is no benefit to watching major sports games. You are not going to come away with information that is not already factored into the betting line. If you are watching some obscure sports than there may be some benefit, but overall sports betting is just a numbers game.

    1)phuck you
    2)I think its ESSENTIAL to watch as many games as humanly possible in order to get the edge you need. If you don't watch the teams play, you are guessing.

    Duff85.......if your betting 500+ games per month, then it doesnt appear you don't have better things to do with your time.
    Just think how much time goes into betting 15-20 games per day.....WOW
