HopsGuy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 So I'm heading to Sin City for the Sweet 16 weekend and I now I've got a problem. A guy a work with (sits right next to me) asks me to place a bet for him. He hands over a US Grant and says, "I know this is a tough bet for a Bills fan to make, but give me the Dolphins to win the Super Bowl." I'll make the bet, but I'm thinking I should do it at Hooter's or some sort of other seedy dive. I'm probably going to have to have someone else in my group do it. There's a Steeler's fan that still so high after the SB win, he can probably stomach it. I'm thinking of pocketing the money, but if the worst happens, I'd be on the hook for $1250 (Fish listed as 25:1 on one site). Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? 639925[/snapback] Yep, tell the guy to open an online account and make the bet himself. Seriously, why someone would want to through the hassle of placing this bet in Vegas when a little thing called the internet is around boogles my mind. And I've heard most of the bigger name online sports book are reputable, not that I would personally know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might come in handy next February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make the bet for him. It's really no big deal and he's a good guy. He's just a victim of circumstance. That's right, I sit next to the only native Floridian. I was just fishing (bad pun) for some fun responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Stick it in the g-string of some well-tanned crack whore at the lap-dance place. Dolphin money belongs in that millieu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my friends want to play golf. I can't understand that, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the money and put it on the floor by his desk. Then take a leak on it and tell him that's what you think of the dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
