Would you ever Bet Against the Bills?

[Mikie2times]

It looks like this will be the first time the Bills aren't favored at home since November 8th, 2020.  So interesting set up for that along with a lot of other reasons.

 

I bet against them in the Bengals playoff game. It isn't worth it my opinion. These games a pretty special. Either a bet on them or leave it alone in my opinion.

I bet against them in the divisional round last year.   If I am being honest the money made the loss sting less.  Am I proud of it?  Not really.

I never have but I can certainly see how making some free money would help ease the pain of losing.

I took the points with the Giants in XXV.

When the opponent is a big underdog I bet on them. 

1) Bills can win AND I win my bet (if within the line)

2) I'm fine losing my bet if Bills crushed them (if Bills win by more than spread)

3) Although devastated, if Bills lose outright at least I cash a little

 

I bet Denver last game +9. I was fine losing that. (#2 above)

I don’t bet, but I also don’t mess with karma.

Nope- Same principle why I'll never draft Miami dolphins in fantasy.

 

Would never want to subconsciously go against my team- And in the fantasy football case, would never want Miami dolphin players to do well

That's what I felt when I bet against in the Bengals game. Not worth it. Regular season, I wouldn't have an issue.

I hedge my emotional pain with financial gain all the time

[KCNC]

I do because I suck at betting and the way I look at it is my $5 just helped the Bills win.  Worth it to me.

I don't bet either. And if I did, I couldn't bet against this team because Josh Allen can win at any time.

[frostbitmic]

Of course I would, when I bet I lose, if I lose, the Bills win.

 

I look at it as victory insurance.

I’ve heard of him from a friend who is in a fantasy league.

Is this phase one of a Ponzi scheme?

If you are a true Bills fan and consider your self a part of Bills Mafia if you did you should be made to turn in your card & have to become a Browns fan ...

[WotAGuy]

I’ve made way more money betting the Bills to win big than against them, but doesn’t hurt to throw a few bucks on a big underdog just in case. Last year they were more susceptible and it paid off a couple times. This year, they have taken care of business.

This needs a little context. Have I in the past? Absolutely! We were crap for a good number of years. This up coming game? That's up for debate.

I bet against them every week and had a good 17 year run going there.  Thanks for nothing McD.

I do not gamble, nor would I ever give up on my team.
