Sportsbetting and the NFL go together like athletes and strippers. They were seemingly made for one another and it’s almost impossible to discuss sports betting without mentioning the NFL. Fortunately for sportsbetting fans, after seven long months of NFL sports betting starvation, the preseason is just weeks and 2009 promises to be one of the most exciting seasons yet.
Sportsbetting pundits and even many hard core fans of the sport have long poo-pooed the NFL preseason sports betting. It’s understandable. Anyone that has ever seen an NFL preseason game or played the preseason sportsbetting odds, can tell you that it’s hardly ideal. For one, it’s all but impossible to handicap the preseason sports betting games as you never know whose going to play. And even if the starters play in the preseason sports betting games they only play for a quarter or so. The rest of the game serves as glorified job interview for unknown free agents and untested rookies –hardly stable sports betting grounds.
Yet, in its essence it’s still football and it’s still NFL sportsbetting action and that’s a lot better than anything else on the board. After half a year of no NFL sportsbetting action whatsoever the preseason action, no matter how flawed or how imperfect is a welcome breath of fresh air and a precursor of great sports betting things to come.
Everyone knows what to expect when the NFL preseason action begins and no sportsbetting fans worth his or her salt is expecting something mind-blowing. It is what it is and people and sportsbetting fans are aware of this. Anyone expecting an epic sports betting battle in an NFL preseason game is crazy and certainly unrealistic in their expectations.
Fans who enjoy the NFL preseason the most are the ones that accept the NFL preseason for what it is. It is a great chance to see young players and rookies and take notes for the upcoming sportsbetting season. It’s an excellent opportunity to see what the top players out of college can do against a taste of NFL competition. It’s a great warm up for the real sports betting action and chance take stock of the new class of talent. It’s not only entertaining but it’s also a highly educational experience for the methodical NFL wagering fan.
If you’re looking to replicate the playoff atmosphere in August then you will not enjoy the NFL preseason. But if you look at as a taste of what’s to come and use it to get a glimpse at promising rookies, you’ll no doubt walk away satisfied with NFL warm up.
