In this episode of 'Scared Money Don't Make Money,' host Sam is joined by special guests Mark and Danny to discuss the intricacies of football betting as the NFL and college football seasons commence. Mark and Danny share their insights as seasoned sports bettors. Mark, a relatively new entrant in the world of sports betting, talks about his social approach, aiming for modest gains while enjoying the thrill of the game. On the other hand, Danny, a 30-year veteran in sports betting, outlines his disciplined and strategic methods that have enabled him to achieve six-figure wins over the years despite occasional significant losses.

The discussion covers a wide range of topics from the impact of preseason football on betting decisions, different types of football bets such as office pools and survivor pools, to the importance of money management and discipline in betting.
