Did I make a good bet in Vegas?

[ECUPirate83]

Just came back from Vegas and saw the odds for the Panthers to win 8.5 this year. Placed a over bet thinking the Panthers will win at least over 9 games. Would you guys had made the same bet or did I goofed??

It is only 200 bucks and it might make the season a bit more interesting.

[RickyManningJr]

U should have put that 200 on the Super Bowl moneyline.

I made the same bet weeks ago....I'm surpirsed the line hasn't moved after KB's injury.

I've learned to never bet on my teams, only against them... Nothing worse than losing money and having your team lose

I'd never bet against my team. Who wants to be in a position where you profit if your team loses? If you can't bet on 'em to win, then you should leave 'em out when you bet.

Win over 9 games? 

 

 

 

Lolz

Before KB went down absolutely.  Now...if I were forced to bet I would be over but I am not sure it is a good bet.  I have us winning nine games so while I think you will win I would have passed.  Not sure it is worth it at -120

[Cuttinedge]

Right now it's looking like you should have put that $200 on black at the roulette wheel

I have learned to never bet on or against my team, unless there are extreme circumstances.

Many years ago for example UNC played Louisville in football, it was the year Lefors was there and UL was 11-1.  UL was one of my darlings for that season and in this particular game the odds were really low, I think UNC was +4 and it was totally absurd.  Put a grand on UL and they won 34-0.

I also remember one season I bet against the Sox in a couple of parlays when they were facing a left handed pitcher.  Have also won on my team a couple of times.  I am probably 90% when my team is involved only because I only bet on/against them when the line is so patently absurd that my bias is not pushing me.

Have you not watched tonight? We'll be lucky to win a game..  Haha

interesting point. In my degenerate experience only qb injuries significantly move game lines or win loss over unders. Something to consider re: kb
