    TWO excellent posters (Paco, Opie) got hit today b/c they violated a key rule......

    These guys were betting with their hearts.

    Take the Cowboys and Lions....

    Both are solid teams, but these were bets from the heart. I've done this so many times in the past 2 years betting on Federer.... where I could not distinguish between fandom and a winning bet.



    Axiom: Bet with your heart, then all will turn to shit.... and smell like a fart.

    Kraken, I can be nice to two of the top SBR authorities... b/c that's good policy.


    Now, you on the other hand.... ... you're a fukking dumb liberal. I suggest you roam the streets of a shanty town and ask to be necklaced all the while wearing your Mother Teresa outfit and taking some Elton John action in the backside!

    True, you could say that.

    Problem is that the wagers weren't based on objective analysis... these guys are proud, diehard fans for their teams.

    This would always screw me over when betting on Fed matches b/c I'm a big Fed fan....

    I have bet against Detroit teams many times. I have faded the tigers here with Verlander on the mound and cashed. This was a bet I thougt lions could stay within the number. I got +7, they lost by 8. Hanson makes that chip fg, I cover. He missed, I lost.

    Lions are a damn good team. They were held to FG's on basically all possessions b/c of how solid SF is....

    I will hit them up on 2half overs when they underperform in the 1st half..... they can explode

    they do that time and time again

    Hanson was 3-for-4 on FG's, which is pretty good giving the swirling winds in SF.

    Lions scored a fluke TD on a fluke possession at the end. This game was never really close paco. I'm a Lions fan and I almost made the same bet you did, but it was the wrong play. This team is mediocre. SF is elite. Game wasn't close, and neither was the +7 really.

    the reason the bet lost is because the penalty prone lions ran into the kicker in the first half, and instead of licking a field goal they went on to score a td. but you have to factor in tons of stupid penalties w/ the lions anyway; anyway lions can't tackle and stafford is just not intense enough

    I bet on my Colts but it was a spot bet, team is weak in areas but Minny being 1-0 and Indy being 0-1... plus it being Luck's first ever regular season home game knew the team would go hard to help him out to win the game. I figured my bet had jinx them when they gave up 2 4th q td's but wow Luck and Vinitieri saved the day! whew

    you gotta find key games to either bet on or against your favorite team

    Haha, we all bet with our heart everyday. You get a good feeling about a team and go with it. You win and it's like winning two games. No better feeling. Stop with the sayings.

    Nocoin is a breakeven handicapper the fuking guy should stop posting if only his ego were as big as his knowledge he'd be a billionaire.

    Well isn't it obvious now? I'm a Lions fan and they weren't the right play in retrospect. Only reason I posted that is because paco acted like it was a bad beat or something.

    I aspire to be a broke degenerate and a huge stiff with horrific bankroll management like you. Not to mention your post makes no sense. Read it out loud. Slowly this time. "If only his ego were as big as his knowledge"? Are you dyslexic on top of everything else? Do I need to help you out trolling now too?
