wolfpack78 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I bought a legacy Bruce Smith jersey from NFL Shop that was delivered the week of the Bengals game. I didn’t wear it and wore my “legacy” lucky shirt for that game. I bounced around on shirts until the KC game where I finally put on the Bruce jersey and have worn it (without washing) the past four games - including in person last week. Will be wearing it tomorrow. Hopefully this is enough to overcome and bad juju I created by shaving my December / holiday beard yesterday… Quote

So, to take one for the team, I put $250 on 3-team money line parlay for Jags, Steelers, Dolphins. There’s zero chance I win. The payout is $1,374. So, in summary, I just paid $250 for the Bills to make the playoffs. (And yes, to hedge the emotional breakdown with a grand to have fun with if the worst happens). I didn’t say I was emotionally healthy. I did the same but only $5. 😂 Quote
Guffalo Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I apologize in advance, I was hospitalized Tuesday and have had three surgeries to correct a blood clot and damage to tissue on my right leg. The doctor is going to let me get out of ICU sometime tomorrow, but I will just be moved to a regular floor, I wont be at home where I watch 5-8 games a year or at the game venue where I watch the rest. Getting old sucks 2 Quote

Getting old sucks ***** the bills. ***** the playoffs. Just get better my friend. if you need my Sunday ticket login, shoot me a PM. Edit: nevermind, it’s - of course - a nationally televised game.

Msg me, i bet alot myself, but I do good, I'll give you some free twitter accounts that provide bets but most importantly valuable research so you can make your own bets and gain an edge. It has helped me tremendously Quote

In fact I live in CA now so I had to have my best friend up in Batavia put that bet in for me, since the land is kale and yoga pants hasn’t legalized sports betting yet. Quote

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted January 6 Posted January 6 I dug out the “dolphins suck” hat. Will be wearing it to the North Jersey Bills Backer bar. Quote

No sports betting but you can bring your kid to a drag show! lol How you like Cali, I despise Newsome and his super liberal policies, heard ppl are leaving in record #s I’ve lived in 7 different cities since I left Buffalo when I was 22. I’m 43 now. I absolutely love CA. Just like I’m sure the south isn’t completely full of toothless yokels, shockingly not all of CA is like the tenderloin district of SF. I live in Santa Barbara and outside of the cost (it’s expensive for a reason - if people really “hated” California, wouldn’t it surmise that the prices would go down? That said, the down payment we put on our house would have EASILY bought me a 4 bedroom house in WNY in cash) it’s really a great place to be. And to your drag show comment, my wife and I have indeed been to a couple - they are a BLAST - and I was shocked there weren’t troves of kids there like foxnews told me there would be. To each their own, but in order of places I’ve lived and how I prefer them (I can’t list Buffalo as I am biased as it will always be “home”) I would go: Santa Barbara - great food, amazing people, the weather is perfect year round, but it would cost less to build a house on the moon. Hoboken, NJ (shocked by how much I loved it there). Think smaller, cleaner NYC with easy access to Manhattan on the weekends. DC (expensive, and the absolute worst people - think opposite of WNY) but soooo much to do and the DC metro is the best public transportation in America. Virginia Beach. Yuck. But dirt cheap and it’s close to the ocean if that’s your thing. The boardwalk area from April to September are filled with tourists. Tourists who look forward to visiting Virginia Beach. West Palm Beach, FL. I was 22-24. So it was fun. But it’s Florida. Tucson AZ. If you love the idea of extreme heat combined with quite literally nothing to do, that’s your place! 1 1 Quote

I didn’t say I was emotionally healthy. I did the same earlier in the week on my BetMGM account, but did not wager quite as much as you. I am happy to pay for a Bills win, but I also want to be paid and wipe my tears with cash if the heartbreak happens. Other than that I'm just sitting in the same chair as the past 4 games and wearing the same Bills outfit. Not changing anything. Quote

Glad you like it. I lived in North Palm Beach FL 2 years , loved it, super cheap too. You ever been to Singer Island? Bout 15 min from West Palm but by far the nicest beach I've been to in the U.S Quote

I didn’t say I was emotionally healthy. Doing similar but actually betting less (100) and have Bills as my 3rd leg with the intention to hammer Miami SPREAD with all potential winnings should Pitt and Jax win (would be 400 (+300) winnings if Bills). That way, can double-dip if Bills win within the spread. If pitt or Jax lose, good Bills in playoffs (gladly give the 100 to that). Pitt/Jax win, put the 300 winnings on Mia +2.5. Outcomes... Pit or Jax lose = -100 (but Bills in! Fine with me) If Pit/Jax both win... Miami wins = +300 (devastated, but a little cash at least) Buff wins by 3 or more = 0 (Yes! Bills 2 seed and broke even) Buff wins by 1 or 2 points = +600 (Party at my house) Quote
