re: What kind of degenerate bets on preseason games?

I'm picking up on a hint of judgment and condescension in your question. Assuming that you're not against gambling in any form, what's the objection to gambling on an exhibition game as opposed to a non-exhibition game? I don't get it.

My objection would be that it'd be hard as hell to pick the winner against the spread. It's hard enough in the regular season when you know starters are going the whole game and they're playing "predictably". In the preseason, starters don't play, or play for a bit, they're trying new plays, going for it on fourth down in the red zone, going for two, etc. Just all over the board, so to me it'd just be a flip of a coin.
