example if your a $10 bettor and a guy you know is betting like $100, root for his bet instead of yours even if your on opposite side.

Support all people that bet. I support you if you bet 1 penny a game or 10k a game. It means nothing to me and I don't care what someone else does.

JJ is spot on with this. I'm playing blackjack 200 a hand and a guy has 10 out and we get burned by a dealer 21. He opens his mouth I'm burying him. It's not his business to complain. he had the table minimum. Shut your mouth and like it.

I'll always root for someone having more bet than me at the blackjack table. It's important in craps too as sometimes a big winner will toss a few chips your way.

If i have a $100 bet and lets say Illini has a $500 bet, I will root for illini instead of my bet.
Of course your not always in this situation but when you are do what I do.

exactly...these whales want everyone to root for them...give them a pat on the back so to speak
regardless what happens that day they will be betting the next day and the day after that
and when they do win $20,000 right in front of you...they wont even give you $1

bullshit.
if both amounts represent the identical % of BR for both bettors than may the better informed, better prepared bettor win, regardless of the dollar amount.
and if the guy with the bigger $$$ amount is betting over his head, fukk him twice, he deserves to lose and learn a very valuable lesson.

No JJ. You don't have to root for the other side. You just can't root for your side. I almost saw a fight over this in the Chargers/Jets game this year. Some sick **** older guy I know was risking $9,000 on a Saints/Chargers ML parlay. He refused to hedge anything and there was this Jets fan there trying to convince him to hedge and take sure profit. He kept insisting he didn't want to and that there was no way the Chargers lose to the Jets. The Jets have a rookie QB, they only beat the Bengals last week and the Chargers are one of the best teams in the league was his reasoning. Now, during the game this Jets fan who bet $100 on Jets moneyline would go nuts for anything the Jets did. This caused a few near confrontations but ultimatley boiled over in the 4th quarter when the Jets scored there 1st touchdown and then got that stop. The guy got in his face and kept yelling "I got $10,000 here and your going nuts over a few hundred? Shut the **** up. I'll pay out your bet to just shut the **** up."
Later when the Jets scored the Jets fan was forced to leave while the guy being held back by his buddy. I think it was a lot worse because he didn't really know the kid because we were all there for a card game afterwards. But either way, the Jets fan should show some respect. The rule should be if your bet does not equal 50% or more of the other guys bet then you can't show any emotion.

This is like the Amway scheme of gambling.
The $50k bettors are supported by the $10k bettors
The $10k bettors are supported by the $5k bettors
The $5k bettors are supported by the $1k bettors
The $1k bettors are supported by the $500 bettors
The $500 bettors are supported by the $100 bettors
The $100 bettors are supported by the $20 bettors
The $20 bettors are supported by the $5 bettors
The $5 bettors are supported by the $1 bettors
And the $1 bettors are supported by the guys who bet only SBR Points.
And SBR Points are supported by us all.
It's the perfect pyramid scheme, now that I think about it. Nobody has to root in their own bets, because someone below you is rooting you in, and even at the bottom levels, gambling as a whole is constantly being propped up by Points.
