Rams not gonna play a lot of their 1's, Ravens already played a game, gotta think they're the smarter bet on Thursday...

All gambling is a crapshoot to some extent.

But i think there's a pretty good argument to be made for the value of preseason bets: Less money is bet on them so better chance for line movement and a difference in the spread from casino to casino.

And not every team is trying to accomplish the same thing so there's different angles to consider. Nobody tried less than Tony Dungy's Colts in preseason, Fisher had a thing for a while where he was trying harder in the 4th game than anyone else, etc...

I would never bet on preseason games.

I'd rather go to my local liquor store and buy some alcohol, beef jerky and scratchers.

I'm going all in on this one...betting the house, the wife, the dog, the cats, the cars...everything on the RAMS.

Agreed. I'd rather put it all down on "00" at the roulette table.

If you win, you get to keep the wife, then again with all that winning loot, the wife would probably leave with half of it. So, either way, the wife is gone...I suppose.

Exactly....the coaches "want to win" but that's not the point of the game. In that case I would rather spend my money elsewhere and just wait for week 1.
