The sports betting crew at @BetDSI is out with what you’ve been waiting for — Alliance of American Football prop bets, including one bet on how long the new football league will last. Will the AAF be around 4.5 years? Remember the XFL in 2001? It lasted just one season. The USFL lasted three seasons. I think you know where I’m going here. Taking the OVER on that bet might not be good for you financially. And you’ll have to wait at least a couple years to either cash that one or lose it. You probably don’t want to have money tied up for that long so take a look at some of the other bets like on attendance.
I’m intrigued by the OVER/UNDER of 28,000 for the game in San Antonio. The team has only 11,000 Twitter followers and 6,500 Facebook followers. Why do I feel like 28k Saturday night at the Alamodome is a pipe dream unless they’re giving out tickets for free? There are plenty of $14 endzone seats available on Ticketmaster. I’d be shocked if they get over 20k fans. Of course the number might end up inflated to make the league look halfway decent. Be careful on that one.
As for the rest of these, it’s a crapshoot at this point. Why is Arizona the favorite to win the title? I have no idea. Trevor Knight is one of their quarterbacks. You can go bet these here. I have no affiliation with the book. No money for posting the link. Some of you guys ask for these so here you go.
