Looking to bet on the game tonight.

Washington's a 2.5 favorite and OU is 39.5

What's the best bet? Thoughts?

Call a hotline. Anyone who bets on preseason clearly has a problem

1) find match

2) light match

3) throw match on pile of money you plan on betting

Yeah it's dumb, but it gives you a reason to be interested in the game. It's not like im throwing hundreds on the games

the fact that you need to find a reason to be interested in an NFL preseason game should show you why you should not be betting on it. but whatever. it's your money.

For preseason games- if you are simply craving action and don't have any analysis, just take the side getting points.

It's not stupid if you're betting to make money. More opportunity to bet on spring training, summer league, and preseason games than there is for regular season and especially playoffs.

Who cares whether it's preseason or not? I bet games casually simply for shits and giggles, regardless of sport and/or situation.

It's fun to gamble and it's the OP's money - why do people get so adamant that betting preseason NFL makes you a degenerate? YOU ARE THROWING MONEY AWAY YOU SCUMBAG OMG OH NOZ!!!11

I've bet on 2 preseason games this year and won both. I was entertained for ~6 hours and won 2 units.

Yup, would've been better off flushing $ down the toilet

Washington is -1 now.

I've bet 5 preseason games and went 4-1. It's the entertainment value that I consider a winner.
Granted, it's a coin flip.

It's not that you can't occasionally be successful betting presason games, it's just there alot more factors such as how long the starters play, who the reserves and backups are that are going to see huge minutes, that makes it a pretty risky proposition. If you're not sure, you are better off saving your money til the real games start.

The fact that it is football gives one a reason to be interested in the game.

Hell, curiosity regarding player development, etc. is reason.
