That the Bengals go 19-0 this year?
I never bet money on sporting events, but if the odds are long enough I might put some money on the Bengals going 19-0. It would be more like buying a lottery ticket than actually betting on something to happen. I have been inspired by how much money the homers won betting on Leicester City to win the Premier League.
So where can I go to find the odds and place a bet?

What ever the odds are I bet they are decreasing every day. Our players are dropping like flies.

I haven't seen the odds for going undefeated, but I saw this the other day...
3 of the last 4 Super Bowl winners had a 12-4 record the prior season.

Vegas has odds that the Bengals go 19-0 this year before winning a playoff game

Thanks, that would be great.
But I was under the impression that there were some websites out there where I could book a bet without going to Vegas.
I had not problem finding the odds of the bengals winning the Super Bowl, but I want to go with the big longshot.

I'll bet against it.
First off, anytime I bet on something, it doesn't happen, so I if I bet against 19-0, the '72 Dolphins won't be drinking any champagne.
Second....if they don't go 19-0, I'll win a little change, and I'll have broken my own playoff drought.

Then go bet the boat against the Bengals winning the Superbowl!!

While looking for this info I found out something that amazed me. People actually bet money on pre-season games. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Even the 20 -1 odds against them winning SB is ok. Lay down $50 to win a $1,000.
But believe if you wait until several games into season the odds will go up drastically. Mostly because of chemistry still being developed at WR spot and several new starters adjusting.
But think the Bengals will gel and be perched for a deep playoff run by seasons ending. This will be my plan, watch odds closely for first 5 weeks and pounce if bettors sleep on Bengals. Which they will.

Is there a spread ?
Betting on pre-season NFL is like betting on regular season NHL.

Ok Fred, sorry for the delay here been busy with work/family stuff. So the casino I was at when I asked (Aria) didn't have it on their board and the guy I talked to said he couldn't take the bet unless he talked to his manager who wasn't there. He also said other casinos, like the Golden Nugget or the place that used to be the Hilton (they take all kinds of sports bets) would have it on their board. He also said it would probably be gigantic odds obviously. So I guess the answer is that depending on the place they will take the bet.
Also I saw somebody above go the Bengals to win the SB at 20-1, that's better than I got, I got 17-1 at the M casino in Vegas. Guess I should have shopped around. =(

No more than the bets on the Super Bowl coin flip.
Some people are just compulsive gamblers...

It appears gambling, or aiding someone in gambling, in Tennessee is a class C misdemeanor according to this: http://www.gambleonline.co/usa/tennessee/laws/
