So risking 5 grand for the chance to win $9,500 basically...while having to give 17 points in an NFL game. No thanks! I don't like it, even though I'm quite sure we will lose and probably badly...but I don't like the terms.

zow2 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 6 hours ago, BuffaloRush said: I did it. I had the chance to bet a lot of money on the game and I did it. 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. Wow that goes above and beyond the typical “emotional hedge” bet. 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.

Money line is -2000 I think. Never seen a line like that. Unreal. +1000 for Bills Can you imagine betting $2000 to win $100? That said, I do believe our beloved Bills will lose by well over 17 points. Wouldn’t have touched it myself... but I think you’ll be ok.

Sharps were placing 7+figure bets on Mayweather at -550 I believe, not quite -2000 but a lock is a lock.

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. Line is high for a reason
Bing Bong Posted September 22, 2018 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.

You'll be lucky if she doesn't leave your stupid ass. (not you, the OP) You would file for divorce over that? You probably should not have gotten married.... 1

ThunderGun Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Buffalo is gonna score a meaningless 2 point conversion in garbage time and lose by 16... 1

I had a sneaky suspicion you were involved here. But if you’re planning to pay off your losses with Meadcoin, you just may be disappointed. Guido may be knocking at your door. 1
Warcodered Posted September 22, 2018 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. Also there might be some guilt from putting yourself in a position to root against your team if they lose.
