    Second of all you're meant to be unhappy when your team loses a huge game. It's part of what being a real fan is. You liv ethrough the ups and the downs. That said I don't think Americans who follow pro teams really have a bond with their teams as strong as football fans do here in England, I think a more appropriate comparison would be fans who support college teams in the States. That's the impression I get, and I could be wrong, Every fan is different anyway.

    Now here I'm just talking about bets "to avoid disappointment" which was the topic of the thread. Deciding to bet or not against your team if you think their opponent has value is another debate. Personally I can't. Maybe I should, but I can't. Props to people who can.
    i know what you mean. I was raised in Europe following soccer. Here in the US whether your team loses or wins you drink and party. Different mentality.

    Whatever team I bet on is my favorite team, at least for 3-4 hours.
