I love how so many guys are so excited for football

[lakerboy]

but when they are buried by the end of sept they will say i cant wait for the nba.

they hate bases but its the only game where there is money to be made for sure while nfl and nba are hard to beat. nfl preseason is good.

the best part is that when they lose there rolls they might not even have nba to turn to. books will love it if there is a full season lost by the nba.

[paco]

I agree

When baseball buries, people can't wait for football. When football buries, people say basketball is Right around the corner When basketball buries, people say baseball right around the corner And the wheels on the bus go round and round

[t-wizzle]

I've just recently realized why you say that bases is the easiest sport to make money. You've given me some good help with the team totals and alt RL theories but line movement really is huge in baseball. Took a few licks earlier in the summer but have been raking it in lately.


As for nfl, just about everyone takes a beating and I think a big part of that is because it all leads up to one day when there's 12+ games being played so people end up betting way too many games.

[doublej95]

Spot on post lakerboy.

[AribaAriba]

LMAO at least those losses are worth to watch rather than this snoozefest baseball...

[King Mayan]

Naziboy, some people are not high-stakes bettors like you, some people just enjoy football more and are recreational players.

[TheMoneyShot]

Football & NBA... it's how I make the $$$$$ I take my vacation during baseball months. I think baseball is the hardest thing to cap. Show me any system that actually works... Risking -150 to -350 ML isn't a system.

[Domestic]

So true, haha.

[bobbyfk]

cant wait for NBA season

[FindTheLock]

Some people do make out very well with NFL and CFB. I don't understand how anyone makes money on hockey or MLB though. I always get murdered on those sports. NBA is tough too, but it isn't as bad as hockey or MLB for me.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Just because you're better at baseball and/or can't win at football doesn't mean everyone else is in the same boat.......

Personally I love football, and nothing beats Saturdays and Sundays in the fall, not even talking gambling wise here

I actually do pretty well in football, and it can be beat if you know and follow the game well enough and research all around the league and college teams throughout the week.....It's not really "work" for me because I genuinely have a huge interest in keeping up with everything throughout the week

I have been doing really well in baseball lately, but football cannot come soon enough for a ton of reasons

[Ralphie1412]

What you are saying is true.......BUT

I know its hard for a Canadian to understand, some of us actually are excited for football. Gambling has nothing to do with it. I live for this shit.

[MoneyLineDawg]

Just like any other sport.......you really gotta know your shit and follow these teams daily......tough to watch and follow MLB religiously compared to other sports. I don't follow any systems when I make bets though, I just know my shit and research alot to help

[ApricotSinner32]

The only reason why I'm excited for football is because baseball (Even when profiting) is terrible to watch day in and day out. Steroid era is gone and now it's like watching richkas and ttwarrior click dicks for 3 hours.

[daimoshokage]

can't wait for paco's 2 months vacation play..

[jjgold]

Lakerboy makes some good points..average guy is bust Sept 30

[ngates815]

This thread is hilarious

Do you bet NFL lakerboy? pretty sure you do, but why? If you're just giving your money back to the books? Let me guess you're one of the select few that makes money in NFL.

[opie1988]

I'm a sports fan first and foremost. I watch football religiously on Sat & Sun rather I'm betting on all the games or have no action. I'll admit I'm more into the games I have action on, but I watch them all regardless.

Obviously I'll bet on the Cowboys and Longhorns to cover and win every week.....simply because I'm sharp like that.

[ttrace35]

Tracer is a nfl god. I am like a machine. I can't wait.

[thetrinity]

lakers right. most guys will be bust in a month. i always get amused when guys i know are like "im saving for football" "cant wait for cbb" etc., when they havent had a winning season ever. personally i bet on european football a lot, and ncaa sports. just seem to do better at these sports. ill also have some bets in mlb, nfl, nhl, and probably a decent amount of nba (also a sport i do decent at).

nfl by far my worst, aside from steeler games.

I do bet the nfl. All I'm saying is that its hilarious when guys say that they can't wait for nfl cause they are going to make a killing, last year on this site many guys at this time of the year were talking a big game and after 2 or 3 weeks were out of the game because they were buried and games "made no sense".

As for me I had a thread and I made it clear I would lose at the nfl. I didd lose until the last two weeks of the playoffs.

[RubberKettle]

This happens every year and not just at SBR.

Most of you are all hyped up for football. Claiming football as your best sport, did so well last year yada yada yada. And through a combination of bad money management, chasing and 'crazy games' most guys don't post anymore past mid October.

So why do you bet NFL? You made it clear before the season started that you'd lose...Doesn't seem to be a smart move to bet it then. Unless you're in this gambling thing to lose money.

Still made money in the end. I don't think u get the point I am trying to make.

[jjgold]

NFL Lines are very tight
It's all about QB's

[ngates815]

No I understand...MLB is Guaranteed money.

Losers in MLB say "yes football is here", but yet they Lose NFL, because everyone loses in NFL.

and so forth and so on.


I'm still trying to figure out why someone would go into the NFL season saying, they are going to lose, and still bet it?


And do you not think it's possible for someone to bet Baseball and lose, then say I can't wait for NFL, and win at NFL? How do you know when people go "bust" in NFL?

[pepper60000]

I'm tired of losing money in MLB...lol..

[HoulihansTX]

Because the majority of people who bet, do not depend on gambling as an income. The entertainment value of a sport can reel in bettors also.

Have fun when you are betting fellas. If you want to rake in a true income get an education, and venture into a professional career where you can gqain job security, insurance planws, and pention funds.

[jcadwell]

i bet on games to make them interesting, i dont really bet to make a big profit.. and the only sport that i really enjoy betting on is the NFL.

I doubt lakerboy is a professional gambler (but who knows) But it seems he does take this whole gambling thing pretty damn serious. So why would a guy like him go into something knowing he's going to lose money?

I don't depend on gambling to pay my bills, I have a job for that. But I'm also not looking to just hand over money and receive nothing in return. I don't understand why anyone would go into something, and expect to lose money and get nothing in return...Then again I didn't go to college so maybe I never learned the benefit of that.

[HoulihansTX]

Going to a concert, buying movie tickets, going a fireworks show, paying to see standup comedy, etc... those are all foms of entertainment. But in order to receive the entertainement you have to pay. Many look to gambling in order to entertain them. What do they receive? Emotional swings, drama, and so on. Nevertheless like the examples above you need to wager money in order to experience those feelings.

[spankie]

NFL is easier to bet for some people.

MLB is easier to bet for some people.

NBA is easier to bet for some people.

Just the fuking way it is, accept it, move on.

[HoulihansTX]

I do not bet the NFL, b/c I lose @ it.

I bet College foots b/c I have a CHANCE of winning.

I bet MLB b/c its there.....

[Tech N9ne]

Lakerboy is right

Unless your Billy fukkin Walters you ain't making money on the NFL.

Lines are too sharp. NFL is a fukkin cash cow for sportsbook. Think about it

I understand what you're saying above, though I don't agree...But then why would a guy be saying "I suck at MLB, I can't wait for for NFL to get here, so I can bet some real money" Which was the point of this thread. A guy looking for a "rush" wouldn't care if it's MLB, NBA, NFL......
