Ratings will drop in the NFL soon for one reason...GAMBLING

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Say what you want the main reason the NFL is so popular is gambling: wheter Vegas or internet off shore betting fantasy football most of the nfl's popularity is because that

Millions of people dont ALL watch random monday night games with two teams they dont give a shyt about just for the love of football

Now that people realize its not safe to bet games ratings will finally drop eventually if these refs stay

 

[STAN JONES]

the few hardcore gamblers i know dont even watch games like that

they just check gamecasts all day on espn

 

[Shogun]

betting football is never safe

 

[Gotright]

If I lose last night a nikka wouldn't have got paid

that's the difference between the hardcore and the casual

the hardcore will make their bets and not even watch the games

the casuals (aka 95%) will bet something to make the game interesting

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Im not risking a fukking red cent on the NFL, bring on the NBA. I was serving nikkas in the playoffs on some BAM BAM BAM BAM,you want some too ? BAM!!!

Lets say a marquee game is watched by 20,000,000+ viewers.

How many people out of that actually have money on the game?

As we've covered a zillion times before, UNLESS you have a Nielsen ratings box on ur TV, then YOU DON'T MATTER.

5 million people could stop watching the NFL, and the ratings will stay the same if none of those 5 million have a Nielsen box.

I dont know anyone who doesnt gamble on football dawg

WHy do you think so many people watch out of town games in the nfl and not other sports? not because everyone loves the game so much and wants to watch two random ass teams they watch for gambling reasons

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Stop it.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

the game last night changed the payoff of 150-250 mil supposedly

[bangbreh]
