I personally know one and that is myself. I have been a New York Giant fan since 1955 and have watched or attended NFL football games as far back as I can remember without ever placing a bet.
Now I watch Red Zone from 10 AM to 5 PM every Sunday without placing a bet and I have lived in Las Vegas since 1972.

Hardly anyone bets baseball; yet, millions watch and go to games every year.
Why would football, a more exciting game, be different?

"Las Vegas" won't be happy you're in their city without betting. There's always exceptions to every rule.

Moreover, staring at a game for three hours for an even money bet isn't my idea of a good betting proposition.

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’s Super Bowl. That translates to over $5 billion wagered on that game alone. 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’t help but see who made the big runs, catches or blocks that week. 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. - See more at: http://www.casinocenter.com/the-6-bi....PBkt619O.dpuf

I'm in the race book 5 days a week betting horses and harness racing, as far as I am concerned I think that this is enough without betting football.

That's plenty.
But, never tempted to exploit something you saw in sports that you felt was a really wrong line? No desire to bet the Super Bowl, you know, just for fun, an action bet?

You are exactly the type of person the NFL doesn't want to be associated with. One question, have you ever worn your favorite NFL team jersey to the race book?
