I know I do. When I don't like a side, I atleast look to play some steam.

I admit...I find it more appealing if I can watch the game and get excitement out of watching 2 church teams play on tv knowing I have something to gain from it.

...unless it's nba. psh. I don't decide if i'll bet the game or not solely on the reason on them being on tv...it's just a plus if they're. or if i'm just really bored and have a big lean(or better than average)...i'll take it.

For me the answer is no.

I'm actually watching fewer games live. (Which probably should disqualify me from a lot of the 2H lines I consider playing.) Wind up following most games on-line and watching later via DVR, which is another wonderful reason to be alive.

But I sure want to take into account which games ARE on national TV -- it colors the handicapping and the perspective on line movement.

I dont. But if I find a edge on a team that is broadcasted nationally, I will bet it. But not just because its on national tv.

I hardly watch the games I bet on, just get updates on the computer or phone, depending on where Im at.
