Simple math question here...

WildBill · Jan 4, 2005

Just a simple survey here. Wondering how much the hype and the TV nature of bowl games causes people to bet on them. So I am wondering, out of the 28 games that will be played, how many full-game sides and/or totals did you play?

I will start it off, I played only 4 total bets on the bowls and will pass tomorrow night.

Wild Bill..................this question will get biased results here.........imo... posters are somewhat sharper than the run of the mill square..posters will have similiar answers to yours.......

bonafied squares..........(majority of non posting gamblers).........played almost every game and total.....

Zero - I only bet NFL football - no college. It's a personal thing.

wil.

That was my point Dimeplayer, but lets see if people respond on this. I suspect many people bet just about every game, especially on a night like tonight when there is only one going and it is on network TV.

Zero......i don't wager on college football generally.

First of all, I enjoy your articles on the front page of theRX.com.

To answer your question, I try to bet most of the major bowls. Since there is a lot of action on these games I feel the books will shade the lines to sucker the square public. I tend to fade the public on these games (as well as Monday Night Football).

The professional sharps I know had action on possibly every single game... of course they're doing props, 1st half, 2nd half, predicting line movement and betting one side, just to buy back 4 pts later, stuff like that. If these guys let one bowl game go by without a bet, I'd be surprised...

As for me, I had Va Tech last night. My only bowl bet this year, but I don't bet as much as I used to.

i almost never bet the bowls or the nfl playoffs.

i have always had the mindset that i work so hard during the regular seasons of both that i just want to sit back and enjoy the games with nothing riding on them.

i know i'm missing out on some value , but i have enough to wager on during the other 340 or so days of the year.
