You made me laugh which is always good. At the time I took the bet, I felt really strongly about it. The more I thought about it, I get a little more concerned - especially the garbage time. Sunday will be like the Super Bowl for me. I might just try to watch the game by myself because I don’t want anyone to know how much I have riding on it. this might not be a good idea. if you do decide to do this however, be sure and have someone else hid all sharp objects. we want you to be sure and come back here so we can all either laugh at you or commiserate with you.

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. Is this Schoop i heard he bet $5k against the Bills in another post here ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 2 hours ago, BuffaloRush said: The way I was thinking, based how the Bills played the past 2 weeks, I don’t see them scoring more than 6. That means Minnesota has to score about 24 points which I think they can do easily. I am predicting a 30-6 Vikings win you should hedge by taking the over, because the Bills are going for 20+ points.

Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I think the Bills are going to get slaughtered. Who is going to cover Thielen and Diggs? And how are the Bills expecting Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones going to separate from Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Dude I’d back out. If the Vikings need to cover over 16 points you may get the very worst of both worlds, a Bills loss and down 5k. If the Bills win maybe there is some solace to losing that kind of $$$. Do you have that kind of money? Did you ever see the movie Buffalo 66 and what happened to Billy Brown? Albeit he bet on Buffalo. Still want to see the Bills win but hope this works out for you if your being serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) People have asked the OP now about 100 times to tell us what odds he has, and he doesn't seem to want to do it. Can someone who bets give us an idea of what the odds probably are? The OP has bet $5,000 on the Vikings, and the Bills get 17 points. So let's say Minnesota wins 52-3. How much money is the OP going to get on his $5,000 bet? I don't gamble and am just curious to know the odds we are talking here.

BillsfanAZ Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Win or lose you are betting 5k that your wife doesnt know about. It isnt like you have a 50/50 chance. Your odds suck of winning. I thought the Saints would blow out the Browns but they tied. Any given Sunday. All the Bills have to do is have a good defensive plan to keep the game respectable. What if the Bills pull off a miracle and win? Would you pay 5k for a Bills win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that kind of money I’d be openly rooting like crazy for Minny. Good luck. Seems like a no brainer result on paper.. but the NFL is weird and we’ve seen really crappy teams cover big spreads in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McD can fix the D and Cousins is Cousins I honestly like the Bills Cousins is awesome. He has Thielen, Diggs, and Rudolph to throw with and an elite defense.

Bing Bong Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm doing it too. Did it last week. Tried on Peterman week but I couldn't get Bovada set up. I'll PM during gametime so we can talk about all the money we're going to make. Or how amazing Josh Allen played as we lose money. It's a win-win. But so far I've just gotten money and no football satisfaction. It makes me feel empty inside sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warcodered Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 This just seems kind of sad. I mean if the Bills do somehow pull this off this bet will probably cut down on some your excitement for that moment.
