Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I'm a sports bettor, and I like to browse around a sports betting forum called SBR once in a while. Just a few days ago I posted about this Bills Super Bowl bet being a great value and, predictably so, received some backlash on my prediction. Since we're on the topic, I thought I'd share the link so that you guys could see what I had to say and what the haters responded with... http://forum.sbrforu...super-bowl.html Edited May 20, 2014 by Lt.

Best Player Available 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. For this year you would be better off sending it to me so I can take my new girlfriend out for appetizers. Think of it as a gift, too a true blue Bills Fan. instead of some billion dollar casino going "are you high".
Manther Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 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! I think it is a great bet! What is $5 vs what this could become. Like a Super Bowl Championship!

You should be banned from these boards.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hrm. at 75 to 1, I think 100 dollars would be a good bet. Need to call some people, I think.
jimmy10 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and threw down $50 on the Bills at 60-1 odds at NYNY.
Gordio Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hrm. at 75 to 1, I think 100 dollars would be a good bet. Need to call some people, I think. Save your money. Futures bets are fun for the casual observer but the Vegas sports books makes a killing on these each year. For the most part people bet with their hearts on future bets. They bet their favorite team. Remember with the odds too, the odds are only good if the ticket is a winner.
swimtoga Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I was out there the end of April and put $100 for them to win it all and $100 for them to win the AFC Championship game!

But, at $375, no records (I think)
