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.

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.

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

 

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

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By GOAT · Posted

      5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?

      yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
