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

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
