In Vegas placing bets on Saints now
Posted on 7/15/14 at 12:23 pm

First, NFL future bets are horrendous for the bettor. For example, online siteslike Bovada and 5Dimes have the Saints between 18-1 and 22-1 to win the super bowl. Here at the sportsbooks in person, the Saints are 10-1 to win it all.
Also, the over/under for total regular season wins is now -170 for 10.5 wins.
While I think the Saints win 11 games or more, that's way too much uncertainty for -170. I did get $200 on week 1 vs. Atlanta. I get 1.5 points. By the end of preseason, the Saints will be giving 2 points.
ETA: sorry for the poorly worded post. I was typing from my phone. I tried to make a little more sense.

There is so much in that post that doesn't make sense that I don't know where to start.

I'm assuming he heard about the odds from some other source, yet the sportsbooks IN VEGAS are offering much worse odds/value.

He feels confident that the Saints will win more than 10.5 games, but there is terrible value at -170 (like a smart bettor would know.)

He bet $200 that the Saints would either win outright or that they would only lose by 1 point (since 1.5 points cannot be achieved. This is why half points are very important in sports betting)

He is saying the Saints will look impressive enough by the end of the preseason, that either bettors will bet the Saints heavy so that the line will go from Saints +1.5, to Saints -2 or Vegas will adjust the line on their own ahead of time (Meaning now the Saints would have to win by 3 or more to win a bet).

You think you liked football before? Start sports betting and you'll enter a whole 'nother realm of loving the sport.

I took the Saints to win the NFC (6-1) and the Super Bowl (12-1) at Paris Las Vegas in June.

I find it impossible to gamble on CFB and NFL due to me having a vested interest in a particular team from each. Kinda like when you're in 4+ Fantasy Football Leagues for 500$ plus for the winner of each league. When I start cheering for Drew Brees and Roddy White in the same game, I have to step back and re-evaluate the frick I'm doing.

My problem is when my opponent for the week has a Saints player on his fantasy team and I find myself hoping that player doesn't have the greatest game
Posted on 7/15/14 at 1:59 pm to BarbeTiger
I always cheer for the saints, regardless if a fantasy opponent has that person on the team or not. A saints win is far my important than a win in fantasy.
My one rule in fantasy- I will never, ever pick Roddy White.

Oh no I still cheer for the Saints just hope Drew throws a touchdown to Colston and not Graham. In the end I want a Saints victory and I've never drafted a Falcons player

could you rephrase this in a different way for people who are degenerates?

Please, does this mean vegas gave us better chance of winning?
Posted on 7/15/14 at 2:23 pm to Saintsluver26
I have the Saints to win the SB at 15-1 odds ($150 to win $2550 I think) and I also put $50 on the KC chiefs to win at 50-1 odds.. I liked their odds the best as a longshot. It was b/w KC at 50-1 and Indy at 25-1.

Thanks for translating for me, dcrews. I edited my OP to try to clean it up.

I love the Saints +1.5 against Atlanta. Terrific value.
