    Betting on simulated games help a newbie

    Today the book I play at announced they will be offering some simulated NFL games to bet on soon. Ive never done something like this before and wanted to see your input on this. Scam? Are the odds always against us? Seems so artificial to me lol but it does sound interesting especially nowadays. Any tips?

    I've also considering betting on this. Need some sort of normalcy in sports. Is this gonna be based on current rosters, skill level, etc. as of March 2020 or is it based on the beginning of the season?

    It's fun and see this post as there is lots of free money chances with Middles. https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...e-middles.html

    Bookmaker-MyBookie-Bovada seem to have the best run games and twitch feeds with the latest 2020 lineups. Remember guys like Durant in NBA are live and well in the 2020 games so that effects lines. Tech issues do arise like right now Bookmaker the Bills Jag game is a pay winner void the loser due to them having game play setting/lineup issues(props to them)...Middling is huge opportunity for some risk free fun!


    BTW on mybookie feed we did ask for a on demand pause on a live game to prove it was live and not recorded...They complied and all checked out as live. If you are watching any SIM games and feel its not live ask them for a live pause

    The sim isn't realistic but I don't think its a scam. That said there's not much to bet on these days so its fun to wager a small amount on these games just for fun.

    I don't get it. How do you go about handicapping these things?

    ...meaning you can't.

    The difference between a simulation and a real game is that the bookie controls all the simulation parameters so the chances for something happening are as high as they say it to be. Therefore it is impossible to have an edge against the bookie, unless they just made a mistake in the calculation. I would avoid.

    there is randomizer in effect but the books have been very transparent and seem legit. If you suspect its not a live ie a recorded game ask in chat for an on demand pause which will prove it is live event. We requested this @ mybookie and they complied. Also the other day bookmaker made a setting/lineup error on the Bills Jags game which players brought up in chat mid game and they ended up paying all the winners and refunding any losing bets. So props to bookmaker. Like I said earlier the feeds from mybookie, bookmaker and Bovada are the ones I would trust the most as they use the latest version of games 2020 and seem to be on top of this.....now the "edge" may or may not be there but the lines may be exploited as think of who is making them some guy from the philippines making 1.95 an hour

    If you want have some fun watch games and freeroll for some free cash there are many middle opportunities using any of the books i listed above and Fairaly via the APP

    I agree with what you say and don't see a contradiction with my post I don't think it's recorded as it doesn't need to be. Sure, if this Philippino guy messes up the numbers it might be a good opportunity, just less likely for it to happen than in a regular game I think. So to answer the OP's question: scam - no, the odds are against you - yes. On the other hand if you have fun playing it I don't see why not to.

    some of us had suspicions esp with so many blow outs so we asked for a on demand pause of the live game and mybookie complied with and all looked good....It is very fun esp in the twitch chat rooms lots of people watching the bookmaker chat's are crazy! bookmaker had an issue on a game and they paid out the winners and refunded all the losers the other day...class act!

    That was crazy it was the Jags and Bills game. Wish I had 5k on the Jags for a freeroll or something.
