            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Pro 
              football is the biggest betting sport in the United States, with 
              total wagers now running more than $1 billion a week. According 
              to USA Today, over half of the American adult population had a financial 
              stake of some sort on the outcome of last year&#146;s Super Bowl. 
              That translates to over $5 billion wagered on that game alone. </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Among 
              the reasons pro football is the most popular betting proposition 
              is that the NFL receives such thorough coverage on television. With 
              nearly every big play shown in replay during the game and many times 
              thereafter, a viewer can&#146;t help but see who made the big runs, 
              catches or blocks that week. </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">The 
              print media also covers the NFL very closely. Box scores and colorful 
              stories by sportswriters can give fans a strong impression of what 
              happened in a game. </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">In 
              addition, although betting on the NFL is illegal in nearly every 
              state, the point spread on games receives extensive coverage in 
              both the print and televised media. Late in the week, many newspapers 
              have staff members make selections against the point spread. ESPN&#146;s 
              Chris Berman and Hank Goldberg, as well as many radio commentators, 
              make weekly selections as well. All of this coverage makes the point 
              spread enticing for viewers. The information encourages them to 
              form their own opinions. Some bettors follow the advice of favorite 
              writers or commentators. Others try to prove they know more than 
              the experts. And for any fans who still feel they lack expertise, 
              hordes of sports services or touts offer to fill the gap. Most of 
              them promise fabulous returns of 70 or even 80 percent winners, 
              as if the people who book NFL games were the biggest suckers in 
              the world. </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Nothing 
              could be further from the truth. Bookies love the NFL season. It 
              provides them with their greatest profits in sports. </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">The 
              average bettor, on the other hand, despite all the touts and information, 
              loses season after season. The late Bob Martin, manager of Las Vegas&#146;s 
              first casino sportsbook, once told me that the number of bettors 
              who win betting pro football is so small that &quot;it is virtually 
              the same as if no one won.&quot; </font></p>
            <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">Year 
              after year, NFL bettors go into the season filled with confidence 
              and end up losing. How can this happen?</font></p>
