If you can't see the difference in literally every aspect of that team and other Bills teams off to hot starts , maybe rewatch . It's not just the legit talent and depth , it's the coaching and F.O , which I consider both elite. Maybe your being sarcastic lol but ya , it's borderline disrespectful to even mention those teams in the same breath as the 2019 Bills Hey, I'd be betting on 10 wins right now ... but, let's not get overconfident. Just saying we've seen things fall apart before. Easy schedule, a certain degree of luck so far (thank you, Cairo Santos and others), etc., etc.

Then you have the OPTION to hedge... can bet the same amount on the Jets getting points (let's say 7 points). Try to "double-dip"... worst case break even. Example: Bet $1,000 on Bills Over 6.5 wins Won 6 games going into final week vs Jets Bills favored by 7 (at home) against the lowly Jets. Bet $1,000 on Jets (+7) Bills Win by more than 7 = PUSH on Season bets (Net $0) Jets Win the game outright = PUSH on Season bets (Net $0) Bills win by between 1 and 7 points = Win Both Ends ($2,000) Would take the stress out of the last game with only upside possibility. Somebody knows what they’re doin! (Have done the same many times over the years!) ?? Bills are 9/1 to Win the Division today. Cheatriots EVEN $. Bills Conference? 19/1 SB? 34/1 1

I remember a 4-1 start not so long ago ... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2011.htm That was the most fluky set of wins ever.

Bookie Man Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I met a guy who is a bookie. We started talking football, then about Buffalo. He said one of his guys is a big Bills fan and had 13k to win 10k on the Bills over won total. This was back around week 2. I told him there's a pretty high chance, he's gonna have to dish that out. I have a little bit on it. I have it at 7 wins though. Still like it!

The first I went to was DraftKings near Metlife stadium. They had the best odds, that's why I went there. Told them I wanted to bet 10k. The boss declined it, said the max was $2,500. Technically, I could bet more, but he changed the odds so much it wasn't worth it. I had to drive to other bookies to add more at reasonable odds.

I’m not saying we are going to win the super bowl confident but enjoy it and walk around being happy for once. I think I can speak for most in saying that there is confidence in this team for the first time in a long time. I know the wheels can fall off fast with injuries or playing poorly etc etc.
Albany,n.y. Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) I bet $1,400 on various combos of Bills wins the week the season started before any games were played. The photo of the tickets is too big (# of MB) to paste here. My bets were: > 6.5 wins (-200) $400 bet return $600 > 7.5 wins (+100) $400 bet return $800 > 8.5 wins (+200) $400 bet return $1,200 Make playoffs (+325)$200 bet return $850 If the Bills win 9 or more games & make the playoffs I win $2,050 on my $1,400 bet for a return of $3,450. I break even at 8-8, win $1,200 on their 9th win & hit it all if they make the playoffs. My tickets say 1/22/20 6:30 PM, so I guess I can't cash them until then, but I'll check with the casino before then to be sure. Edited October 10, 2019 by Albany,n.y. 1

At the casino in Schenectady they have kiosks where you can bet without a teller. If I wanted to bet a large amount I'd bet it separately at the kiosk. One thing they do is the teller is only authorized to cash less than $1,000 so I'd break the bets into smaller amounts. I don't know if they have some system on the kiosks that would stop someone putting a big bet in at a few kiosks broken down into $500 increments. I was able to put the $1,400 in bets at the kiosks, but if I wanted to do it at the window with a teller they wanted me to apply for a rewards card.

That’s all built into the system. The only way they don’t “win” is if people don’t wager. In other words, theoretically the bookies could lose money on each and every one of the 32 teams (I'm still talking about regular season wins). It depends if most of the money was wagered on the over or the under for each team (versus the actual outcome).

Yeah one sportsbook. He'll pretty much take any action.
benderbender Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I was in Vegas in July. Never had worse luck. My only win at the slots was $20 on Fremont Street. I put that $20 on the Bills to win the Super Bowl at +7500. The only bigger payout listed was Miami to win the AFC East at +10000.
BillsQuebec Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 A nice $4,971 profit, thanks Buffalo Bills! I want to congratulate all of you who also put money on the Bills to win more than 6.5 games this year! 9 2 1

Warcodered Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 That was such a weird line going into this season with this schedule.

Really fun to watch, but once teams stopped gifting us turnovers, it was over I feel like we got one popped up in the air INT in every one of those games including the loss. That'll happen but to catch all of them is absurd. That and all the defensive TD's... which are also really hard to replicate.
