GRIZ/EWU

It's putting money on the other team to do something positive. Not good.
I guess that's true if you think that margin of victory matters in the standings...In my eyes, losing by eight is just as negative as losing by ten, but that's just me...

What if the Griz were favored by 25? You still wouldn't lay a couple hundred against them covering? If 9 is already suicide, then 25 isn't much different....

I am not giving 9, that is suicide imo, but no takers yet? Come on you negative mofos, put your money where your keyboard is. :thumb:

If 9 is suicide, then why aren't you on a plane or phone to Vegas to lay down a hedge? Arbitrage baby!

Because betting against one's own team is bad karma. Man, you got a lot to learn. :thumb:

You wouldn't be betting against them to win. You'd be betting against them to cover, which, I guess, you've already done by saying that 9 is suicide.

Uh, that is some weird logic. The only way I am betting, is by placing a bet. If you want EWU, send me a PM.

I guess. But why is it bad karma to bet on your team to win by less than the spread? Assuming, of course, that you are confident that they will still win.
 
Let me put it this way: If you think that 9.5 is too much, and I were to bet you that the Griz would win by more than 20, would you take it?

If I have to explain it to you, then you don't understand Karma. Do not mess with Karma and you will be fine. Trust me.

But you've already said that you think 9.5 is suicide. By doing so, aren't you effectively "betting" that the Griz will not win by that much. Perhaps you mean that opinions do not affect Karma unless there is money backing them. I disagree, but I understand why someone would think that.
 
GB1, if I put up a sizeable sum saying the Griz would win by more than 30, would we have a bet? Den, you too?

You think what you will, I am not going to play verbal volleyball with you when the game is close to tipoff. I take it you don't want EWU for 500?

Personally, I'd stay away. I just can't root for an opposing team in any form. Unless the sum is very large. When the bets and lines are smallish, I'd stay away for the most part. Of course things change when you get out on the extremes of either.

Den: So you'd root against your team if you stood to profit enough from it?

GB1: do I get 9.5?

Nope. Because I would hope you seek professional help. I would never take advantage of someone who is "challenged". That's just not right.

Negative, either you think EWU will win or you don't. Try not to make it so hard on yourself.

What about 15? Or any spread for that matter?
 
No? OK. I'll give you 3.5 I'm preparing to bet you 500. I think Eastern has this one in the bag.

That's easy then! No f-in way!
