OT: Why I stopped betting on professional football
At half the winless Cardinals are up on the Saints 17-0. The Cardinals, who havent won since week 1, are killing the Ravens in Baltimore 24-6 and the winless Dolphins are up on the Giants 14-10 (oops...now 17-10).
They don't build casinos with the winners money.......
Sorry - SHOULD'VE said the "winless Cardinals are up on the Giants...." Shoot if i'm going to have them play in two games might as well go for a third.

Cardinals are beating the Saints and Ravens?! Who would have bet that would happen in the same week
October 30th, 2011 at 2:55 PM ^
That's why you shouldn't bet on professional football.

Ariz +14 and Mia +9. Also Wash +6 and Phil/Dal under 51. En fuego.
Though I agree with your premise that NFL is much tougher than college to bet on. Killin' it on saturdays, but sundays I've been so-so,

I bet on the fish.

and the last 5 minutes decide 90 percent of all games. You could throw out every lead from quarters 1 through 3 and most of the 4th quarter. No matter how lopsided the game is usually one score away with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. And yes I know this isnt 100 percent of the time just happend quite a bit.

The money is even - just have to be on the right side

Teams change more rapidly, it seems to me, in the pro's than they do in college. Free agency is good for players but it makes keeping track of who is playing where impossible. It makes it very hard to keep up with it all.
But then I only follow big ten football and of that only Michigan closely.

Bet the Ravens are glad they play all 60 minutes.

I'll only bet on individual sports (boxing specifically). Trying to predict what two people will do is much easier than trying to read two entire teams.
(... Unless you count one $5/5 CFB pick a week).

is like mainlining your drug of choice. May feel good, but sooner or later your number's up.
Saints get curbstomped by the Rams. Cardinals beating the spread @ M&T against the Ravens (Baltimore would have been hanging Flacco's effigy in the streets if they lost).
If this weekend didn't teach you to not bet the NFL, nothing will.
