Las Vegas boo-yah

Kicking myself about this - every year in the spring I put $20 on the Panthers winning the Super Bowl at a Las Vegas sports book.

 

This year, the odds at that time were around 40-1 of it happening, so if it carries all the way through I'm looking at $800.

 

There was some article recently that said the Panthers were ranked even worse as the season began, with odds up towards 60-1 or higher.  

 

So for next year, do I do my normal spring sports book bet when the odds are definitely not doing to be in the stratosphere (no pun intended) or should I wait until after the schedule is announced and we're closer to fall?

 

And yeah, I probably should have put more than $20 down, in hindsight.  That's a different problem.

800 will pay for your trip back there to pick up your ticket and have a little mini vacation.....Almost as good as some Auburn College students that put down like 100 bucks when the odds were 500-1 to win the national championship....I would hedge my bet if I was them. Christmas in the airport...gotta love it..... KEEP POUNDING!!!

Like I do every year, I put $50 down in Vegas on the Panthers to win it all. The odds when I bet were around 55/1. Can't remember, might have even been like 70/1. If pigs fly and they pull off a miracle I could win a few grand. I think Montsta got in at 70/1 or some poo as well.

I bet Florida State paid out pretty well also. Hard to see a freshman star quarterback coming.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
