Watching Jon and Kate plus 8… I couldn’t imagine having that many kids. And all at the same age, it’s crazy. I realized today that they are only 30. Hey I’m 30, and their life is completely different from mine…
Anyway, I’m watching this and the Mariners/Red Sox game. So far that game is kind of boring. 0-0 at the end of 2. I’m rooting for Seattle cause I put a small bet on them. Tagging along with the Sports Bettor. I’m not really thrilled with this bet, but hey, those are the ones I usually win. That and I like the girl on that sports betting blog, so I’m rolling with the bet.
Betting baseball can be fun, but I’d much rather bet on football… and bet on the Super Bowl. I mean baseball is so slow, and there are so many games, it seems like anything can happen. Because of the number of games, each game is less important in baseball than it is in football. Injured star players will rest for a few games in baseball, when they won’t in football because every game in the NFL counts. Sure baseball games count, but just not as much. It’s a big difference between playing 16 and over 100 games a season.
Most gamblers prefer to bet on football too. Sure gamblers bet on baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. but football is the number 1 bet sport in America, probably because of the short season. It’s so easy to watch football, an if your a fan, it’s easy to watch every game your team plays. It only takes 3 to 4 hours a week to root for an NFL team, but it takes much longer to watch every game of a team in another sport.
It’s much easier to be a football fan than a fan of any other sport. This convenience is probably why it is so popular, but also why so many people bet this sport. They watch a few games over the first few weeks and think that they know enough to pick winners. And that’s why there is so much action on the NFL.
