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. If you get it right, great, if not, damn. You can’t bet a lot in preseason but it’s always more fun to have a little action on it. 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...

There’s nothing like being glued to the TV as Nick Mullens tries to lead the 49ers down the field against Junior Joseph and the vaunted Bengals defense.

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!!

The Browns are now an awesome team on the rise with their offseason, and now with Mayfield looking Bradyesque in game 1 of the preseason they are a very good team. Meanwhile the Bill's and their offseason after making the playoffs still have them at the bottom of the league....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

frostbitmic Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I guess it all comes down to who has the best players that'll be in the unemployment line come September. In other words, who is playing in the 4th quarter. 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...
