      Fukking Bradley Braves. Whenever I bet against them in NCAA the fukkers win. And they suck..........

        I don't bet for or against my Orioles. Since I'm not betting based on opinion (but rather, a model) I would hate to be in a situation where rooting for my team also meant I was rooting against my money (or vice versa).

          I've been known to fade the Cubs from time to time.

            Bay area fan here, So I am always all over Giants and A's game. I usually have a great feeling of what teams they do well against and what teams simply own them (especially the Giants this year). Luckily I dont beat with my heart, as I almost always bet against those teams when I feel that it is a valuable bet.

                  I bet for and against the Marlins all the time. I know them better than any other team.

                            I rarely bet on the Yankees, I realize how overpriced we usually always are.

                              my hometown team is the pirates...so it goes without saying I rarely bet FOR them...bet against them alot... but I gotta look up my stats with them this year... i swear they win 70% of the game I go against them..

                              I just realized i'm the reason they haven't had a winning season in 15 years... I haven't bet against them enough.

                              I've been living in chicago for 4 years... its the same thing with the cubs and sox... they always get streaky the opposite way when i bet them.. for now i'm only on the cubs at home....UNTIL september, when i'll fade them big time

                                Minnesota people are the biggest homie bettors!

                                It never fails where when I'm on the plane from Minnesota to Vegas you get these people chomping on the bits to always play Minnesota teams.It's the worst for football.

                                You can tell who the real handicappers are from the Minnesota homie bettors when you go to a sportsbook and see a guy cheering for the Twins in the first half of a double header and the team playing the Twins in the 2nd half.

                                If a sportsbook told a Minnesota person that for Minnesota people betting on the Vikings you had to give 2 more points than any other person from a different state,the idiots would still bet the Vikings.
