Dirk Digler Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'll keep it simple.It's PRE-SEASON. Do you really care who wins? 928868[/snapback] I do care. It will be the Steelers. For years I have done well in the preseason, and I think it is actually a good game to bet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacon Bill Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'd say you have a 50-50 shot at being right; and that's going out on a limb. But you're overlooking 3 very important factors. 1) 2nd team offense and defense, 2) 3rd team offense and defense, and 3) it's only preseason. Everyone's going to get a chance to play and be evaluated...no matter what the score is. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardrocker Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Ben Roethlisberger won't be good enough to overcome the dreaded sophomore slump. The loss of WR Plaxico Burress will show. 928347[/snapback] Didnt catch this in top of this thread. However, that was some analysis...I am fully confident that you are dead on right and have bet the house on it....I sure hope you are right Mr. Digler.

The steelers will win and as the season goes on the loss of Burress will show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegFuJohnson Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I do think that there is money to be made betting pre-season football, if you've got your info. Can't say I've ever tried, but I wish you luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Digler Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 I respect your opinion guys, but heres a question for you. Do you bet college football? Are the majority of these players that are playing come from college football, if you are betting college football you are risking your money on a 18 year old snot face kid that you don't know if he did or not get laid the night before and could be pissed off about that. You are also betting money on a bunch of kids that won't go any further with their football careers than those games on Saturday afternoon. I enjoy preseason football for betting purposes as well as spring baseball for betting purposes, the catch is you have to look at the games differently than you would a regular season game. The one thing I do know is the 3rd and 4th stringers are going to be giving it their all since they are playing for a job, its the first stringers you have to worry about, whether or not they are going to show up or not. Biggest reasons why I like the Steelers more than the Eagles is they will still be able to run the ball tonight with Hayes and Parker both of these guys averaged almost 5 yards/carry last year. Steelers are very deep on the offensive line, and to start they will still have some good receivers in RandleEl, Gibson, Wilson and the new tightend Heath Miller. It will be a close game, but the Steelers should pull it out by a td or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, your logic is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 You said it. That post alone gets my vote for newbie of the year I guess he chose the name Diggler to give us a premonition of his Lengthy post 928649[/snapback] Oooooh! The excitement and anticipation is just too much for you guys. We are a betting sharp. I say we because its myself and my computer that finds these winners. Football is my expertise. This should be a winner but then again it is preseason but im confident enough to slam it home. So if you want to make some cash hop on board. See you at the bank! 928729[/snapback] Dude, are you for real. Don't walk in here and challenge me. Ball up and take the plunge. If the Eagles win I won't post anymore. If the Steelers win you do the same. However I don't think you will accept your own offer. 928796[/snapback] Preseason football is easy money.Your still wet behind the ears little brother. Preseason is capped differently than the regular season and odviously you dont know how to, secondly im light years ahead of you, you cant rattle my cage but since your penned up here you might as well try, you just need to look at things differently in preseason. It will come to you in time. Be patient. 928859[/snapback] TOSU, he's a shoe-in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guys in the booth during the game last night and all last week, keep saying about why the guy is getting so much attention.........IF you fags stop bringing his name up every time you blink, maybe he wont.

Oh wait, one already did. 931345[/snapback] hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahah boorish huh? Can't stand? Or can't respond? You are a GENIUS.Give this man a TV show. Perhaps after the Orielly Factor, call it: "Watch my show because I am dumber than the MONKEY and I will make you feel better about yourself." You could talk sports betting and then watch your predictions flunk, or possibly make blanket statements about things and see if you're correct only to find you have no idea about sports or capping. Then at the end of each show you can angrily tell everyone watching that you OWN them and can buy them when your really OWENED by your own stupidity . It'll be fun. A perfect fit.
