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. I'll be rooting for us to win. I'll be expecting my cut of our winnings on Monday.

Ittakestime Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The Bills are one of the easiest plays over the last 10 or so years. The are a really predictable team. I am not sure what the specifics of this bet are, but in the NFL, I wouldn't bet on high lines. College is a different story. If you bet Minn -17, good luck. I would hedge right now with KC -6.5. Easy money there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capco Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) I don't think Minn covers 17 with a short week of rest ahead and McD calling defensive plays... 3 blowouts in a row for one NFL team is rare (although we did do it last year so there is a precedent lol). How much do you win if they cover? Edited September 21, 2018 by Capco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 10 years ago, I started betting against all 3 of "my" teams on a regular basis(Michigan basketball, Detroit Tigers, and Bills.) For me, it's a great way to alleviate stress. I don't feel compelled to do it with the Tigers anymore because they have no expectations and the same goes for the Bills. And it really wouldn't work in this kind of situation for the Bills because they're huge dogs. There is no money betting Minnesota ML and laying 17 means that my team could lose AND I'd lose the bet. It's perfect when my teams are favored in a relatively important game. I'll take the plus money against them and go cash a ticket if they piss me off. I'm "lucky" I'm cursed with such disappointing teams. They've lost a combined 10 STRAIGHT championship games. That's pretty damn hard to for three unrelated teams! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they get up 30, we won’t take our foot off the gas with a rookie qb but they might coast into the finish The problem in betting on such a big spread game is that if the game goes as expected the favored team might take out its starters, including the qb, to rest them for a more important game. In addition, the winning team plays a lot looser on defense not worried more about the clock than the other team scoring. In the Charger game the visiting team was much more conservative making the game appear closer than it actually was. A rule of thumb is when your churning stomach tells you that you may have gone too far you probably have gone to far. I'm rooting for the posting bettor. I hope that his wife doesn't check in on his postings??? If she does, whether he wins or loses, his scrotum will be squeezed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
