Would you ever Bet Against the Bills?

[Albany,n.y.]

I've done it on one of those end of season rest your players before the playoffs games in 2019 against the Jets   I knew Matt Barkley would play the majority of the game & not Josh.  

Easy money.  

I almost did it again this year, but since I thought NE would tank for #1, I stayed away from the game.

I always bet on the opposing team, helps me feel better if the Bills lose.

 

Same reason I've had a mistress for the last ten years. If my wife ever cheats on me I'll be able to laugh and tell her I got there first.

I've made one bet in my life - not including non-cash bets with friends.    Many years ago, I thought the Bills line was shockingly wrong so I bet on the Bills.  I lost and learned my lesson. 

 

On another occasion, I had to wear a Seahawks jersey all day because of a lost bet.   That sucked too.

My brother 35 years ago got himself into trouble sports betting long before it was common.  He’s a very bright sports analyst, but screwed up.  I never wanted to get into that habit, so I never bet, ever.  I have enough vices with enjoying a little pizza, steaks, or maybe a wee bit of adult pops only on weekends.

 

Thats enough vices.  On principle, I’d never vote against my beloved Bills.  That’s repulsive to the core.  I want to make more $, I’ll sell something else in medicine.

Whoa…Slow down there … you are trying to outdo Keith Richards…

[Mr. WEO]

last year against the spread, absolutely

[Rico]

Blood money if you win. 

[Pete]

Im going to place a decent bet on Buffalo +1.  Im looking for some prop bets.  Hollins over 18.5 yards is one I am considering.  Im looking for Knox anytime TD, but my sportsbook does not have Knox on a prop bet

What Bills prop bets do you like?

Keith wears a gold jacket for that performance in his heyday.

 

Im a wee man in that dept.  It also keeps for a healthy marriage.

[Pete]

I’m headed to Sportsbook now.

 

Bills +1

Hollins over 18.5 yards.

Hollins anytime TD +480

I've only bet on sports twice.  In 2019 I bet the Bills to make the playoffs.  Made about $2,200.  This year,  I bet the Bills to make the Super Bowl...  we shall see  I only bet when I think I know something about the Bills that the masses don't.  And i guess my way of betting against them is just sitting out.

[Rew]

I wouldn't ever bet against the bills to win, but I would bet ATS if I felt the game was going to be closer than the spread indicates.

 

Does that count as betting against them?

[Mango]

I don't even bet on the Bills anymore (ish). I stopped in 2022 after the Packers game. I had like a 12 leg parlay for the game that would have paid out like $2000 on $50. Bills were up by and I had Allen on the over for 250 passing yards. The Bills were up by 3 scores in the third and I was rooting for Bills fumbles and Packers TD's so that we would start throwing the ball again. 

I walked out of that game and was like "WTF am I doing". I placed one more bet on Buffalo this year vs Arizona, a couple of prop/parlays and missed and I missed it on taking the over on 3 catches from Marvin Harrison Jr. I left the game angry at a win again. 

I am sure I will break my own rule again at some point. But I hate the way it feels to win and miss out on a bet. 

[wolfpack78]

As an OSU and Bills fan attending both games… thinking of placing a Notre Dame - Ravens ML parlay to hedge my happiness.

[Pete]

I know the Bills are going to win, so I went to sports book.  They only pay $86 on $100 bet.  Knowing the Bills are gonna win, and my hunch is the Bills win big, I bet this instead:

 

Buffalo wins by 1-6 points +290

by 7-12 +550

13-18 +900

19-24 +1600

 

I did a $25 parlay Keon over 24.5 yards and Hollins gets a TD $245.60

[CaseyatBat]

Listen the key is to bet against the Bills...

 

if they win the game, you are happy cause thats your team. If they lose the game, you are less upset cause you get a financial win

 

 

[RoyBatty is alive]

Whenever the Bills are favored I vote the opposing team straight up.  If the Bills win I am happy, if the Bills win but dont cover the spread, I am happy and made money, if the   Bills lose, I make money.

 

A true no lose situation for me.

[BillsfaninChicago]

Occasionally I take out Bills heartbreak insurance by betting the moneyline on the playoff opponents. It has only slightly softened the blow these last few playoff years…

Looking for hopeful reasons... just interested in why you think Baltimore is in a world of hurt? 

1. QB play is advantage Bills, where we struggle is QBs who are accurate and on time (Stafford/Goff) paired with elite WR talent. Lamar while a great athlete is neither on time nor accurate. We keep him bottled up and force him to make tight window throws.

2. Bal D struggles with bigger WRs, while they may use Queen to spy Allen that gives one less LB to cover, and I like DK, DK, Coleman and Hollins against their secondary.

3. Josh will have time, I would argue Denver was better defensively especially on the back end and we still found open WRs - they also had spies and planned a lot of Man - Like BAL.

4. The offense goes through Henry...stop Henry stop their offense. I believe Babich and Sean have a plan for this. Having the middle of our defense back for this back is a huge step.
