Anyone else bet on the Vikings to win?

[fieryprophet]

I'll interject to say this: don't bet on the NFL. It's the least predictable of the pro sports. You will lose.

Next time back your bet up by not saying it was a mistake.

 

I'll be sure to back up the next bet I don't make against a n00b on the internets

It's not about always believing your team is going to win every week. When you actually place a bet AGAINST your team, then regardless of what you say, at least part of you is rooting against your team so you win some money. That's the thing I have issue with..

I actually don't recall if I have made a wager against the panthers but I probably have. I have made many more on the panthers for certain. And usually lost just like last week. I've frankly lost shedloads of money betting on the panthers over the last 4 years. You don't want to know how much. 

 

But I'm confused on how that would make me a better fan.

 

Add in the tens of thousands of dollars I have spent on the Panthers in real dollars for PSLs and tickets and jerseys and toys and I doubt I need to justify the odd $200 bet on the other team.

 

But I'm the bad fan lol.

Oh so that was sarcasm and you were just hatin'.

Hmm. Where are hepcat, Leeroy Jenkins PhD, and TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam? We're curious to know how your bets turned out.

Betting on games has absolutely nothing to do with which team you may be a fan of.

 

As a matter of fact, if you're unable to separate your emotional ties to a team, then you should never bet that game. That being said, yes, I lost my bet on the Vikings today, but far more often I win betting against Carolina when I do bet their games.

 

I bet 7 games today and lost 2. And I played a relatively unsafe St. Louis- Houston game, going with the Rams, and won! Do the math. WINNER!

So how did betting against the Panthers this week work out??

i haven't read this thread but i sincerely hope some of you are bankrupt after today

To which post of mine are you referring?

So how did betting against the Panthers this week work out??

 

As I pretty clearly stated in my post, I bet the Vikes and lost today. But let's be clear about something here, I don't bet every game every week. I usually bet somewhere between 5-7 games a week. This week was only the third Panther game I've bet this year- I won the other two by more than I lost today.

 

Last season I bet Panther games only 4 times and won them all. But the Panthers are a tough bet because it seems Las Vegas is still waiting for Cam to break out because they rarely get a decent spread.

 

Which team I'm a fan of has nothing to do with my wagers and anyone who tries to correlate a business proposition to rooting for a particular team is an idiot and deserves to lose money.

I took Panthers straight up for lunch every day this week.

"Hey, I bet against my team today and lost, but that's totally not because of karma for being a douche or anything."

Also..the fact that you came here and bragged about it, not cool.   Why are you surprised when you come on a fan board, brag about betting against the team, and then getting some hate?  You wanted attention and you got it.
