So I met this guy at a poker game and he saw I was betting one of the Wild Card games. I won the bet and we got into some conversation about sports and what not, it came to be that he also bet as well. He wanted to get my next "pick" because he liked my opinion in the game that won, for some reason believing highly in my next selection. Anyways I figured I could maybe try and make a buck out of him so I told him to call me when he wanted to know the next pick. He called me the other day after the Divisional Round was over and wanted to know who I liked in the next week. I told him I liked the Eagles and to bet it, however he called me today asking if I would place the bet for him, right now I don't have money in my account so I figured I would just take his action. He is gonna place a $200 bet me with and will see how this goes. Maybe he will turn around and lose like a G figuring he can send his picks into me. What you guys think? I'm not a bookie but occasionally I'm never opposed in taking someones action.
Taking action if your not a bookie...

#5And let me get this right... he asks you who you like you tell him then he wants to make a bet with the team that you told him you like... That just doesn't make any sense... I still think Arizona wins this weekend any way so you might be in luck regardless.If it seems to good to be true it usually is!!

#6Mit I talked to the guy on two instances. First he called me on Sunday asking who I liked in next weeks matchups. I told him i liked the Eagles minus the pts. He then called me the following day and asked if i would place the bet for him with my offshore thinking I had funds there. So I told him sure I'll place the bet for you, but in reality I'm just gonna take the action. I'm more then happy to take the action now because my immediate reaction after the games was that I liked Philly, now though I kinda am siding with zona so I feel I got a good shot to win this bet with him.Comment
