I hear ye Le but...
Having money "tied up" is so over-critiqued
1 wager gives you something to follow all season long
It's actually a positive, not a negative
And besides look at it this way...
If you could deposit $10 in the bank and they told you in 5 months they would pay you back $50, wouldn't we all do it?
Although nothing is guaranteed in sports betting, if a bet has value and winnable, you can look at it the same way
