Question of the Day

Q: Should you bet Pre-Season Sports?

A: Do not bet anything that does not count or that is
meaningless to either or both teams. This includes
pre-season or end of season regulation games.

Every sports service declares that they excel in
picking pre-season matchups -- This is all 100% hype,
intended to make money for the sports services.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to handicap
teams that are testing out various players.


It is also unwise to try and handicap "end of season"
regulation games where one or both teams have been
shutout of the Playoffs, Tourneys or Bowls.


Bet pre-season or meaningless end of season games
only for fun and to watch them.
But Always Be Careful !!!

[BettorsChat]

Pre-Season IMO has always been a worthless bet.

[meaiken]

Preseason is worthless, but end of season games are nice. I like to bet nonplayoff teams vs teams still trying to get in.

I know what you mean here, but if there is a team still trying to get in, it's not a meaningless game.......

these kind of games scare me....best to ya and Happy Holidays

Why I mention the last years games is that crazy shit happens every year in the last game of the season.
The preseason is worth a bet on first halves in my book and so are some of the games coming up.
For the entire game it is a turkey hunt. Unless you have a strong backup QB and role players- the first half is the way to go.
Unders did not fare all that well in the last game.
