Protocal69 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The problem is that I really think the BILLS found something on the defense side of the ball in the 2nd half vs the Chargers. Think about it if the BILLS score at least 13 the Vikings would have to score at least 30 for you to cover. I still the Vikings winning but not by 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if the Bills do somehow pull this off this bet will probably cut down on some your excitement for that moment. Also there might be some guilt from putting yourself in a position to root against your team if they lose. Think of it in a glass half full kind of way....it’s $5,000 you won’t have to split with the wife when she finds out and divorces you. Did that cheer anyone up?

Honestly I was really torn and I hate betting against the Bills but I had to do it. I got a very attractive offer from a local sports book that I couldn’t pass up. But I haven’t told anyone. Not my boss, not my wife, not my parents etc. Just this forum. My wife especially would kill me if she knew I had $5,000 riding on football. Since I made this bet though, I have been very nervous. My stomach feels very uncomfortable and queesy. I have not been able to sleep at night and have been dog tired all day. But really I have nothing to be worried about right? The Vikings are one The the NFL’s best teams and the Bills are not. I figure that the defense will hold the Bills to FG’s and the MInnesota’s offense will score at will against our porous defense. So I shouldn’t be worried right? I mean I would feel better if it was just picking one team to win but they have to cover 17 points. That one might be tough and i am sweating it out. Hopefully I will have some nice cash next week and can put this one behind me. You got a very attractive offer? Translation: I went to the sports book and bet the Vikings -17, just like everyone else that bet at that book. It was -16.5 at a couple spots earlier today. That’s attractive at this point. Might even drop back to 16.5 before game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 17 points is a big spread to overcome. I learned a long time ago to never bet for or against the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to profit a lot more with this offer than I would with any books you can find online 3 hours ago, #34fan said: If you win, and your wife finds out, -Cool If you lose, and your wife finds out...

LABILLBACKER Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Enjoy your 5k. The Bill's couldn't cover a 21 pt spread. I think Miller and Ducasse have already put a dime on Minny.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Kelly Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I only bet against my team when attending games (any sport). We win I'm happy We lose I drown my sorrows with the winnings As others have said, if your putting 5k on a game then you probably don't need to worry. " Don't bet what you can't afford to lose!" ^ If you have done this your a loser regardless of the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 $5K is too rich for my blood (pressure). Nevertheless, I wonder if all the guys who have criticized you for betting $5k on the Vikings would bet $5k on the Bills. Under no circumstances would I bet a significant amount of money on the Bills. Maybe that gives you some comfort. By the way, why didn't you get 16.5 points rather than 17?
