how guilty are you of betting a game, strictly because its on TV

[OneLossParlayGuy]

I do it all the time

[King Mayan]

Saturdays and Sunday's, for sure, not so much during the weekdays....

[4TH AND STUPID]

guilty

[mw00]

i'm getting alot better with discipline but the way they hype up those games on tv is so good. your best bet is to not turn on the tele if you're one of those like me...

[harlee71]

If it is not one of the teams I pull for, and I am watching the game, I am going to bet on it!!!

[laclippers504]

I think my reply would fall under the "maturing as a gambler thread" but I used to be like this....had to bet because its on tv....but now I'm way more disciplined....I lay off games I used to just bet on for the thrill....and since my amounts tend to be high...the logic of betting on a game because it was on tv was the worst reasoning to bet on a game in the world...but when that logic bites you one to many times...you can't help but learn to a degree.

[MarlinsFan2212]

I do it all the time.

[Rixsaw]

not at all. I don't watch baseball, tennis, golf, soccer, WNBA and some basketball. Yet I bet them all. I don't bet because it's on TV.

[thetrinity]

this killed me in college football (weekday games in crap conferences) . other sports, it didnt bother me as much.

[ngates815]

For Sure.

[do5000]

[jjgold]

depends

I usually bet a lot of games so the tv ones usually have action

Some much on via various outlets many games per night are tv games

[mighty maron]

I do it

[jbrent95]

Never. I seldom watch games.

[BIGDAY]

Yupper, Guilty.

However, they are ussually a lot small of a play just for action.

[captrobey]

Once in a while i do but unless it is one i normally bet heavy on i wont put a lot on it.

[Tech N9ne]

Guilty as charged

[xyzky]

Drinking...nothing else on TV...see a small edge...GUILTY

[Otters27]

bet every tv game every day. Sometimes bet day games and watch on cbs sports score board

[Powderguy]

The gay ass live betting kills me on these national TV games and the quarter betting, can't stay away

[DrStale]

I'll limit it to a fraction of a unit just to have a reason to be invested

[bettilimbroke999]

#1 rule of sports gambling is if its on TV you have to bet on it

[BetterBizness]

Don't even own a tv... I login to SBR from the public library.... so I wouldn't know what's even on...

[deltgen]

The way the question is asked, there is kind of a negative connotation attached to it. Personally I don't, but I don't see anything wrong with betting on the TV games, provided one does the requisite research.

Serious?!?! No TV?!?! Man, that's REAL old school.

[NSN21]

This is something where part of me actually prefers that the game either not be on TV, or be a "2nd tier TV game", such as on ESPN Game Plan or CBS College Sports (talking college football only here of course). If it's not a mainstream game, the edge tends to be bigger.

With that being said, even when the weeknight college games are on, I am usually busy researching the other games for the weekend so I don't fall into the trap of betting without an edge. I'll just have the game on while I do my work and if I see something along the way, I'll get involved in the 2nd half or in game.

[The Bet Master]

I don't typically bet on something that I can't watch.

[geebert74]

Maybe the 18-19 year old geebert would... but not the late 20's geebert... strictly business... Now it's a treat to watch the game your betting...

[hawkwind]

VERY

[Stefan]

It doesn't make any difference for me whether the game is on tv or not. The odds must be attractive, that's all I want.
