It’s the stupidest bet in history. He just wanted a win. He was actually having a pretty good Super Bowl. The guy was betting what the next play would be!

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 2 hours ago, TigerJ said: Cleveland was 4-0 in preseason last year, 0-16 when games counted. My theory is simple. A garbage team like Cleveland has a lot more question marks than a team like New England*, or even a middle of the road team like Buffalo or Kansas City. So the better teams know for the most part who their starters are gonna be. If they even play, they're in there for a quarter max, then bring in the 2nd string guys, and by the 2nd half, it's guys fighting to keep their job. A team like Cleveland, that has so many question marks, plays their preseason games differently. Not that their necessarily trying to win. But they're playing their better players for longer because they have more questions to answer. So even though Cleveland is a much worse team, they're keeping their starters and 2nd string guys in longer, who are still better than the other team's 3rd/4th string players. 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: All joking aside I’m not opposed to betting preseason games. 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. The only reason I could see, is a fun bet between two friends who are fans of opposing teams. But those bets don't take the spread into account.

Jauronimo Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 5 hours ago, billsfan89 said: 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. You have to be an idiot to bet on a game where winning is the lowest of the coaches' priorities. Pre-season is all about evaluating individuals and getting your starters back up to game speed. Neither coach is trying to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the nature of the beast. A bottom feeder like Cleveland is going to have more turnover at the top of the roster. They are going to have more questions on starters than better teams, and questions about starters need to be answered before they can look for answers about fringe guys. So, they have more motivation to start their starters for more snaps than a good team would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
