    Welcome to the Arena Football Forum

    Don't think of it as a sport - it barely is. The real beauty of Arena is that it bets like a small sport with very loose lines, but you can get decent volume on it. Arena Football has been one of the easiest sports to beat since I started betting on sports.

    If you like to make money, take a long hard look at Arena. I'll be posting picks here, and I'll be very disappointed if I hit under 55% on them.

    This is a somewhat serious forum. Please be respectful of each other. If you're posting picks, please explain your methodology.

    I heard Teddy Covers on the radio, and he was extremely excited about Arena Football making a comeback.

    When does it start? Also are there low limits, such as in WNBA?

    Thanks.

    First game is April 2. Limits are comparable to WNBA in the past. Pinny had 3k, and BM and Greek had 2k limits on sides. Totals were about half of that.

    Probably. They're likely to change the name back to what it was also.

    I see individual teams have schedules up, but I haven't seen a comprehensive one yet. If anyone notices a link would like to have it.

    Wow, I had no idea Arena Football was even coming back. After checking their website, it looks as if they'll get a little tv exposure on the NFL network. Hopefully, AFL will do better this time around.

    They went bankrupt, and canceled the 2009 season.

    Technically, this is "AF1" - Arena Football 1, a new league. They purchased most of the AFL's assets during bankruptcy, including the right to use the name "AFL" - I think it will change to that fairly soon.

    Some good opportunities with arena football betting. Lines move fast so get those reloads ready.

    For those of you who had a handle on the AFL in the past, are you aware of any rule changes or anything diffrent about the new league that might affect the way you handicap these games, at least in the beginning?
