NFL Gambling Right Around The Corner With Training Camps Close

It seems like just yesterday that Santonio Holmes was capping one of the best Super Bowl's ever with the best Super Bowl catch of all-time. For gamblers, however, that feels like a lifetime ago.

The NFL is the bread and butter for sports books. Millions of dollars are wagered on a weekly basis on NFL games, and when the betting ends early February, it is a sad time for both the sports books and gamblers.

Most gamblers do not like betting on baseball, so they save their money up for a strong run when the NFL season begins. With training camps starting in a couple of weeks, the saving period is almost over, and it has some gamblers giddy.

"When football ends after the Super Bowl, I usually get depressed for about two weeks," said Gary Brells, an NFL fan and occasional gambler, "I won't bet on college basketball or the NBA, and baseball is too boring, so I just wait until football comes back. Now that we're close, I'm getting excited."

Brells echoes the sentiments of many fans and gamblers, but there is no greater jubilation for the start of training camp then the joy found at sports books. The start of the NFL season marks the beginning of high season.

"It is nice to have the short break after the NFL ends and March Madness is over," said a manager at a Las Vegas sportsbook who wished to remain anonymous, "but then reality sets in and the revenue figures drop, and we quickly start yearning for football once again.
