Prospect Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 458 Location: California	#4 Posted: 10/14/2011 5:32:32 PM my opinion is that people do not like to bet hockey and baseball as much as, say, basketball and football because there is very little anticipation of a score. Hockey even more so than baseball. I think this is also one reason that these sports are simply less popular to watch. Football is so popular to bet because of the way the scoring happens. You cheer your team on as they get closer and closer to a score and this can take a while. In hockey it'll all happens in 5 seconds and it's over. As much as people like winning, people also gamble for the thrill of it and football delivers that rush better than anything else in sports.

Used to listen to Devils/Rangers games on the RADIO,talk about tough bets to sweat

The games migth not all be televised if they are against the other sports, but you can bet them. Who gives a crap if other people are betting on it or not. If you're in Vegas this weekend on vacation - not a pro capper, and you walk up to the board - you are not thinking hockey. The totals in college football games go from 40 - 75 Spreads are pick 'em to 40 - possibilities are endless with straight bets, teasers, parlays, etc. NHL lines nearly identical on every game : The total is 5.5 or 6. The puck like is -1.5 (juice varies a bit ) ML yawn Just my opinion - and I like hockey too
