Are they fun to bet? Yes.
Do they have even a slight value? No.
Do you notice that every commercial the books run are pushing parlays, teasers, and who scores bets that have a terrible ratio of payout on them.
I agree. No doubt about that. And I cannot speak to soccer which I know zero about. I cannot speak for all sports even in todays world.
But the NFL is a billion dollar business for each franchise. It is bigger than any person, player, referee or coach. Did that stuff happen ? Yes ! 100%. But in...
Because it was my profession and I understood things, actions and occurrences that I either saw or did not see that most fans are either not aware of or do not even see.
Not where I participated for 25 years.
Not where roughly 50-100 MLB, NFL, NBA players and coaches that I knew participated.
Not one. And yes, I talked about it. Actually, just as many of them brought it up too me.

I raced there in the summer from 97 until I retired from racing in early 01. I know Ferris very well. Certainly know the trainers from Md. that were around back in that time period. Actually 76-01 but Colonial was only open those last few years. Ever have a question about any of them, fire away...
Ferris is a Virginia guy. He has always taken the Colonial meet very seriously since its inception.
Your thoughts on him at Colonial should serve you well in the long hall. Good job with that.
At the end of each season you add up your wins and losses for each sport you play into.
You final number is who you are, or were, for that season.
That's my take.
