Would it surprise anybody if he picks the other team but when he post, he post the other team. What this does is it gives him a win win situation leverage. If what he posted online is failure, in reality, he cash out with his bookie. If he loses in reality, what he post on here is a win which then gives him all the attention in the world. Losing money in real life but posting bogus or reverse bets online to gain your status is one hellava drug.
Some people do have issues. Why lie to kick it you know?
