Anyone else bet on the Vikings to win?

"Hey, I bet against my team today..."

 

"...believing your team is going to win..."

 

By referring to some sort of ownership (my team, your team) and knowing that you do not actually own any part of this team, therefore, the Panthers are not your team.

 

Given that fact, one can only assume the my and your refers to some level of emotional ownership. All I can say, again, is if you have some sort of emotional attachment to a team, any team, then you should never bet a game in which that team is playing.

 

I no longer own PSLs to the Panthers and I therefore no longer have a financial or emotional attachment to the team and have no problem betting their games as long as the opportunity, line, odds or over/under appear to be financially rewarding.

You're not betting the Vikings or the Panthers, per se. You're betting a point spread or an over/under line of total points. The Vikings were listed as a 2.5 point favorite. 

 

The Vikings are averaging over 30 points per game at home this season and, aside from the Giants game, the Panthers have not exactly been an offensive scoring machine. Couple of other stats and trends and you have numbers that appear the Vikings should be able to win by 2.5 or more. It's not a big spread, and neither of these teams are seeing a lot of action in Vegas, so a smart player doesn't put a lot of stock in this game. 

 

You want to make money you have to bet the games where there's a lot of money to win. I made my money on an upset pick when I saw Houston as a 7.5 point favorite against St. Louis. I bet it straight up as the underdog and won pretty big, enough on this game to cover both losses I had today and then some.

This thread is the epitome of what is wrong with this board and our fan base.

Do you all really need to justify how big of a fan you are by bashing others? Who gives a damn if the guy bet against the panthers? I honestly don't blame him. At least he comes out a winner each time, whether it be making a little cash or being happy his team won.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
