Are people joking when they claim locks on preseason games?

You guys know you are putting money on guys that will be delivering pizzas and installing cables come next month?

No such thing as a lock in any sporting event. But preseason football is really not that hard to cap.

Easy to cap???? How do u figure when it's played mostly by scrubs that will be cut and most likely never see another snap again. You can't even use scouting reports because they are mostly unknowns that no one has ever heard of.

I mean even horrible teams like my Raiders always do well in preseason which never translates into reg season. That should tell you how far from reality these practice games are.

you still betting the Nationals because of "value"

LMFAO 9 straight losses and were even favored today

I just never found it that hard to do. These players you are referring to are on every team so they usually even out. But the main thing to look for is qb/starter rotations or teams that are really looking to win the game, ie coming off a bad loss in which they played poorly or a coach that puts a lot on winning the next game.

"Locks" are for attention whores. No other way to put it.

I'm not the one tailing some dude on a practice game cause some dude claimed it was a lock.

LOCKS only our when the game is over.

Any one individual that plays a game, whether it be called a LOCK or FADE, based on another persons opinion, is looking to lose money. Blind betting is about as dumb and lazy as it gets. Just my opinion though.

[unde0087]

I understand having a strong opinion on a game and throwing out a large bet and posting it for everyone to see and help them get the right side but telling other people to risk what they dont have or things that they need to make it is stupid. Locks are bullshit, I am sure in the history of the game even fixed games didn't end out the way they should of so those aren't even guarantees. The only lock I know of is we will all die someday.
