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

    • You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh
    • Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!
    • And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
