MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 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
PromoTheRobot Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Whoa! Slow down there, Mr. High Roller. Save something for retirement.
MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Posted May 20, 2014 ha PTR< I think my $5.00 was just enough to justify to myself that I am still a fan. I know that it isn't even minimum wage but like Cromartie, I got kids to feed.
FluffHead Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 5$ careful there hoss you may not be able to pay for your morning coffee anymore
PromoTheRobot Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Actually I have a buddy going to Vegas too. I was going to ask to have him put a C-note on the Bills too.
MClem06 Posted May 20, 2014 Author 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?
bobobonators Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I'd drop a hundy on it and take the girl out one less time a year to make up for it.
Maury Ballstein Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Gotta put 20.00 on it. 375 won't even get you airfare and a "clearance/budget" hooker.

Are you crazy? Call me out then bro. Have $200 on them wining the AFC, and $50 on them wining the whole shooting match. Will hedge the poop out of the SB bet if they actually win the AFC

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!
GOBILLS78 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 You gave your friend $5 so you could drive him to the airport.
The Wiz Posted May 20, 2014 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
Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted May 20, 2014 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.
papazoid Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 the house always wins 75 to 1 ?????? should be more like 500 to 1
Gordio Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Call me out then bro. Have $200 on them wining the AFC, and $50 on them wining the whole shooting match. Will hedge the poop out of the SB bet if they actually win the AFC 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.
Just in Atlanta Posted May 20, 2014 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. Edited May 20, 2014 by Just in Atlanta
....lybob Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 No money on SF? I'm sure SJ going to the SB to play against a Fitz led Houston in what will be known here as the misery-bowl
