billsfan89 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 You have to be a massive degenerate gambler to bet on NFL pre-season games where the outcomes are likely to be decided by 2nd, 3rd and 4th string players. Also, the lines factor in the backup players, so the line is absolutely meaningless. Don't get too caught up about pre-season scores and such, to me in the 2nd and 3rd pre-season games (I find the 1st to not be meaningful and the 4th to be a complete waste) you are looking at how certain players perform and getting a feel for who is setting themselves apart.

Save the comparisons to the 2008 Detroit Lions who went 4-0 in the preseason then 0-16 when it counted. This Browns team is leaps and bounds better than that depressing squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is no rhyme or reason to it. It doesn’t require a ton of handicapping like the regular season. It’s more like betting a coin flip or what color tee you are going to pull out of your bag.

I just couldn't put any amount of money on something where the final score isn't the most important factor. Just imagine a 4th string WR who won't even make the team is the reason why you don't win a bet or not....that would kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleh I don’t typically mess with preseason but I don’t imagine that scenario would hurt anymore than the fail Mary did. Sometimes teams do weird things at the end of regular season games, field goals, falling down at the one etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Remember, in the Marv Era the Bills would routinely go 0-4 in the preseason. His goal was always to come out of those games injury free. The game against Carolina last week is also a prime example of why you can't read too much into preseason. The Bills lost that game; however, in the first half when the first team (and backups who are likely to make the team) were on the field, they led 17-7. Things changed in the 2nd half when the field was primarily occupied by guys unlikely to make the final cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be fun...betting on whether or not the punter can pin it inside the 10. This would get me at the edge of my seat...especially if I have the Colts in this case. "Come on 87!!

Great betting story: My buddy (you met him in Jacksonville) live bets EVERYTHING. When we go to the Pelicans games he is making multiple bets a quarter. 2 years ago he bet $77 to win $.77 in the 2nd half that the Falcons - Pats wouldn’t go to overtime. Ha ha ha, we have crushed him mercilessly since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Turtle Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The Ravens, Vikings, and Seahawks all place value on winning preseason games. Their coaches will actually try to win a game, as opposed to coaches who are more interested in getting as many players on film. You can also add the Pats and, yes, the Browns to that group. Knowing this actually makes preseason games a pretty good bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
