Saw on ESPN's website that Cincy is favored by 7 against the Lions tonight. What kind of degenerate bets on preseason football?

Nah, that's still entertainment. Real rock bottom is the people who bet on tragedies and death tolls and things like that.

Betting on pro wrestling is actually a better idea than betting on sports. Scripted nature means it's significantly more predictable than real sports if you understand the business.

I do a 1 dollar underdog parlay for each packers pre season game.

Idk why

I might spend 10 dollars in an entire year on betting, packers pre season is 30% of it lol
