So, clearly you don't waste your time rooting for the Bills. Since you believe it's fixed, you can't root for theBills. No one in their right mind would do that.

Of course I root for the Bills. No one in their right mind would bother rooting for a favored team like the Pats or some other such large market team (the Giants). Whether it is media money or gambling money, billions of dollars will change hands during the season. I do not allow myself to get emotionally invested in these games.

Why would you not bet on a sure thing like a game fixed for the pats? Perhaps you shouldn't be doing too much investing of any kind...

I am not much of a gambler, but knowing my luck at the casinos I would probably lose my ass. I would consider putting down some dough on the Pats' next home game against an AFC opponent, though. However, now that a lot of folks have recently become aware of the Pats' impossible home win streak against AFC opponents, they'd probably "accidentally" lose that one!

Rooting against a sure thing does not paint you in a flattering light.

 

I used to work for one of the biggest bookies in the country and the notion that the size of the market in some way influences the results is nonsense.

 

Lines are set with the goal of getting equal action on both sides. Nothing else.

Maybe you're not a smart gambler rather than unlucky. Considering that about 99% of regular gamblers lose it's not that much of an insult.

I would certainly agree with that. However, do not discount the fact that most folks around the country would prefer to tune in to a Pats vs. Broncos game as opposed to a Bills vs. Browns game. ESPN does polls from time to time asking viewers to vote on the teams they would most like to see in the Super Bowl. The tv networks know by now which match-ups generate the most Benjamins.

If you're serious about this, you should try to get some tips from Thomas Vanek.
