I have absolutely nothing against gambling, although I confine my own speculation to the ponies. In preseason games, you don't know how long the starters are going to play, you don't know how hard they're trying to win,

That's just the thing, a lot of times you do know this for a preseason game if you investigate. And a lot of the times one team will be trying to work on plays if they're putting in a new offense while another team is just trying to get reps. Teams with their QB rotation already set tend to do worse than teams who have QBs fighting for a spot on the team. And the lines don't usually correct themselves like in the regular season.
