Bob in STL Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I want to laugh at this but gambling debt is serious stuff. I have seen gambling ruin families so I feel for this guy. To the OP, Pay the debt, consider it a life lesson , and watch sports without betting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 18 other peeps to vote in his poll. Ah must have missed that one. Hasn't been here since though lol. Or at least I haven't noticed. If he'd have won though I'd see his name pop up all over the place I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfod Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I'm just saying if the guy was lying about his bet he would be on the forums laughing it off like the money never mattered. Edited September 23, 2018 by Lfod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human being, yes. His life just got a lot more complicated. I wish he had asked some people here before placing the bet. Never take a team 90% of pundits like, or a 15+ spread in the pros. BuffaloRush made a non betters mistake. Many of us have been there, and it can be devastating. its not a bad day if he is wealthy and the money is inconsequential to him. If it was a meaningful sum of money in his life then he is just stupid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazinBill Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 One of the blessings from liking the Bills since the mid 80’s - I experienced like many the pain of the Super Bowl loses - but it did teach me to never bet after the loss to the Redskins-I had to shave my head( Its still shaves to this day). It’s not 5 grand but it still Taught me your always going to be too high or low on a team you follow. To this day I don’t bet at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunderbill Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 On the other side kudos to the guy who bet a 5er on them to win. Hopefully you buy a beer with that because it will taste pretty sweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Well, now he HAS TO bet 5k against the Bills in every game going forward. Or else, he is jinxin' the team.

Billsatlastin2018 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have been a gambler, of various Sports, for about 50 years- especially the NFL (the game made for gambling) and of course- the Bills. I know every angle of NFL betting, especially on the Net and the use of the word 'arbitrage', which I used for a syndicate in the early millennium. However, for myself, I have never bet 5 large on a single game! Never. And, given the likely financial situation of this poor Basterd- would never have considered it! Even though, today I CAN afford it, since I day trade stock and took a hit on Wednesday, greater than the 5k. Followed by, a win on Thursday of greater than 3k. Since, I am up in 5 figure, these ups & downs don't cause me to lose any sleep. Only fools, waifs or addicts make those plays, if they can't afford to kiss them goodbye- without an iota of regret. The entire thread should give many pause, not to follow in his footsteps. Enjoy the Bills and the games and if you must, place a token wager for interest and shites and Beer money giggles- only!
