ORIGINAL: tazzygirl The guys at work bet on the football games. Its always either extremely jubilant after the score, or a state of depression. These boys bet their whole paychecks. For awhile there in my early 30's I bet on football,I wasn't bad at it.I understood right off the bat that a spread wasn't intended to say that one team is 14(for instance) points better than another,what the 14 represents is what bookies figure it will take to get the public to split their bets on any given game...once you understand that you recognize that each week supplies you with some opportunities to turn a profit. Dallas is usually good for more than a few out of whack lines,Dallas backers bet their team and bet it big,thereby driving a number up or down respectfully speaking. But given all that,what eventually happened was Sundays turned into another work day...I'm making bets on all the games,not just the ones with tilted spreads.....lol.I'm miserable,and now I'm losing money too....so instead of enjoying the Giant or Jet game I am sweating over out of town/not really interested games...sometimes even rooting for resukts that hurt my teams play-off wise.....No thanks....I stopped betting and the Sundays became fun again......lol.
