10 reasons betting college football is better than sex

Football, betting, sex, and alcohol: the four passions shared by the American male. Trying to rank these 4 is a task rivaled in its complexity by only that of trying to comprehend the intricacies of the BCS. However, what fun is any kind of rankings if there's no level of difficulty to stir debate. Without further fanfare, here are your top ten reasons why betting college football is better than sex. Oh yea, there are game previews as well for those interested in that kind of thing...

10) There's no walk of shame in gambling, you just rip up your ticket and can slink into the shadows

9) You get as much joy from the ugly duckling (Sun Belt) as you do from the beauty queen (SEC).

8) No one ever visits the clinic after putting support behind a dirty program.

7) Little blue pills are rarely required to get your blood flowing to make a bet.

6) If you're too drunk to remember a bet, feelings won't get hurt.

5) Thanks to modern technology you can bet anytime, anyplace, from anywhere.

4) Betting provides 3+ hours of entertainment, not 10 seconds of climax surrounded by 179 minutes of filler. You won't disappoint anyone but yourself when you bet prematurely

3) There's no cuddling or pillow talk required to make yourself feel better if a betting session doesn't end well

2) Multiple "partners" are encouraged; 5-6 on Saturday and a few throughout the week increase your chances for long term success and happiness.

1) Loyalty and monogamy is frowned upon; staying faithful to betting just 1 one team leaves you broke and alone.

From the bookmaker's desk...  (Dave Mason is the head oddsmaker at www.betonline.ag)

As of now, we’ll need LSU small as about 54% of the action is on Alabama. By kickoff we expect the action to stay close to 50/50.
 
Same can’t be said for the Oregon-USC game as 90% of the early bettors are on Oregon minus 7.5 points. I doubt this percentage will come down much at all as USC’s loss to Arizona is still fresh on everyone’s minds; especially considering that was the public’s biggest loss last weekend.  To add fuel to the fire, that’s the same Arizona team that Oregon throttled 49-0 just last month. Yes we will be huge Trojan fans Saturday night  Kansas State is the public’s second biggest play this weekend with only about 11% of the bets coming in on Oklahoma St +9.5.
