OK...yes, we have the Browns and benGALs. But they aren't very professional on the field. Of course...the benGALs are not very professional off the field either!

Some people almost depend on their winnings to survive and it gives them something to look forward too in their other wise dismal lives (or so my father told me), but I am sure here in America, it is for just winning. I did enjoy reading your article and will stop by again. Thank you so much, Felicia In my country, football……….you call it soccer but still it is big business and gambling is too.

Smaller markets: I used to live in Cleveland and there isn't much to so there, so everyone was a sports fan. I tend to think the same for the three cities that you mentioned here. As long as the teams are good, everyone who lives in the city or that state becomes a fan.

It is all about national exposure. I have a question for you though. How big do you think the NFL would be if you took the gambling aspect out of the game?
