how can anyone be betting a side tonight

[RawDawg]

This game is the definition of a 50/50 game. both teams are missing players. and to actually bet on the skins in a preseason game when they are missing Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts, Chris Samuels, London Fletcher, LaRon Landry, Carlos Rogers, Malcolm Kelly, Jason Taylor, and at least five other players who are either starters or rotation players is insane to me.

I feel the best play and only play is the under. skins have a completely different offensive scheme and should take some time to get rolling. colts not big on preseason and will already be into the 2nd string qb from the get go.

only thing im questioning is if the first half under 16.5 is better than the game 31.5 under

well dont u think the first half under would be the call then...

 

[RawDawg]

or i may just do colts +11/under 38

well dont u think the first half under would be the call then...

thats what im thinking. i really dont see any big time plays happening. and if there a few missed 3rd down conversions it should go under. skins are implenting the west coast offense and although its effective it burns the clock with the short completed passes.

Skins baby

well im sure the first preseason game is the hardest game to bet on out of them all. at least if u wait a couple games u can see how things went and where their headed.

 

[RawDawg]

colts +11/under 38 is what im taking.

dont think either team will be good enough/ready to blow the other team out. and hopefully colts will try to see what mike hart has and burn some clock in the 2nd half

How can you watch a game and not make a bet???

I used to think betting pre-season was retarded too...and then someone showed me he could cap it easier than regular season.

I don't know how...but some people can. It has a lot to do with coaching tendecies and QB to play I guess.

I personally never bet on a pre-season game, side or total. Just have no interest in doing so. The Redskins seemed like a solid play tonight although I have no idea who won because I didn't watch.

It's not hard to cap because some teams are just better suited for these types of games because they spread their money around and have much more depth, unlike a team like the Colts who have huge salaries like Manning, Harrison, Freeny, Wayne and Sanders, so once those guys come out they have backups making the league minimum, and since they are so stable at the QB position they also don't spend money for a good backup like a team like Washington would.

Those are the things you look at when capping pre-season football. It can be done easily and you can make good money, but I personally couldn't care less about the games.

ITs all about the feet of the backup, the olines wont be dialed in so you need back ups with good feet. Colt Brennan has it, Collins does not. FaMU guy was decent for Indy. Manning is very reliant on his teammates so not even a good preseason qb. You can also bet halfs knowing a great player like C Brennan is going to play 2nd half.
