MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I dropped a good friend off at the airport today. He is going out to Vegas for a business trip for 4 days but is going to only have 1 day worth of work. On his departure I gave him $5.00 to put on the Bills to win the Superbowl this year. NOW... before you all go crazy calling me names and making fun I am a realist that the odds they have on the Bills to win it at 75 to 1 (only the Raiders and Jags were worse at 100 to 1) I told him that I know you might as well light that $5.00 bill on fire right now since those odds are pretty realistic. The moral of the story is that if you call yourself a Bills fan, you make that bet even if it means $5.00 less in your pocket is almost as much of a sure thing as the national debt increasing from 2014 to 2015. And hey, if lightning strikes I'll be $375 richer! GO BILLS! Edited May 20, 2014 by MClem06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 ha PTR< I think my $5.00 was just enough to justify to myself that I am still a fan. I know that it isn't even minimum wage but like Cromartie, I got kids to feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Okay so you guys have deeper pockets than I do but I'm calling out anyone who has plans to place more than $5.00 on this team right now??? Are you crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Gotta put 20.00 on it. Â 375 won't even get you airfare and a "clearance/budget" hooker. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rule of betting, don't bet more than you can afford to lose, especially on a long shot. You didn't. Good job. Hope you win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) http://forums.twobil...-bills-at-75-1/ I'm guessing he was talking about the "trifecta" (AFC East, AFC Champion, SB Champion). Or he's lying, he is management after all. Edited May 20, 2014 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Put at least $100 on it. That way when we make the playoffs, you'll have some great hedge opportunities and can guarantee yourself a really nice profit. That's my plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Will hedge the poop out of the SB bet if they actually win the AFC Â Your best bet would be if the Bills made the Super Bowl & were the favorites. Then you could hedge your bet by betting the NFC rep getting points & possibly win it both ways(Bills win but don't cover). If the Bills get in there & our underdogs you will be forced to bet the money line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) If the Bills make the playoffs this year, and don't win the Superbowl, I'll send you $5 to recoup your cost ... just for having faith.
