When I first started in this business, it was clear that football season was the "bread and butter" of the sports betting industry. Everybody bet football. It wasn't just the NFL Picks people were betting; there was a good mix of College Football picks as well. Once it had started to become popular it was amazing to watch it grow.
There were office pools where you could make your own college football picks, there were school pools, parlay cards for NFL picks, there were, even then, lots of serious personal sports handicappers. Back in the day, everyone "knew somebody" who could get a bet down. If you got 100 sports bettors in a room, 20 would bet bases, 50 would bet hoops, but all 100 would bet football picks.
Today things are changing, between the growing popularity of Las Vegas, televised sporting events, and the eruption of off-shore betting facilities, betting sports today is much more common than ever before. Not just for the serious bettor, but now for the college kid, the senior citizen, and the average husband and wife. Because of the popularity of off-shore gaming facilities and on-line betting sites, betting is at your fingertips, no matter where you are. Not only is betting more common but gambling is way more common too.
Even the explosion in poker rooms and the amazing coverage of poker tournaments on television, encourages people to more sports betting, and to do a wider selection of sports, especially college basketball picks and major league baseball. Sports betting increases every year. State and regional lotteries, national lotto's from around the globe, there is gambling of some form in most every state in the country. All of these things influence the continual growth of sports betting.
When you continually watch sports and invest in your own ability to handicap sports events, you may be able to win a few more games than you lose. That means you might put together a winning streak now and again. While percentage wise that may not pay a lot of money overall, it does have a significant advantage in bragging rights and appear bigger than it really is during the upward fluctuations of your bankroll.
