Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 So you can only bet for one team? Not allowed to bet say $200 on the Sabres and $370 on Detroit? I'll bet $555 on the Wings. Feel free to bet on both teams......(hint, it's not like horseracing where you can bet on every horse and still make money). Awesome response so far....cool. We have 20 here already and the end of the month to see who else jumps in. Man....I just gave myself a mini-project. It will be fun though. I'll try my best to keep it rolling without glitches.

Claude_Verret Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Easiest fake $500 I've ever made. Closer than I thought, but I attribute that to a Bills-like effect of the Sabres bringing the other team down to their level of play a little bit.

PASabreFan Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 I would have bet cautiously on the Sabres. May I introduce this wrinkle on the discussion? Betting on a team you love is dangerous. Now, I guess some people can compartmentalize their emotions. If not, all four scenarios are fraught with danger and change your sporting life. You bet on the Sabres and win — now the team you love for the sake of love can produce income for you. You bet on the Sabres and they lose — now you hate them even more than you usually do; oh, the resentment. You bet on the opponent (wait, you're betting against the Sabres, that's bad on the surface) and the Sabres win — now you're mad at the Sabres for winning! You bet on the opponent and the Sabres lose — you're happy the Sabres have lost. And down the rabbit hole we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude_Verret Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 All that enters into my thinking, and thus why I have rarely bet on my teams with real money in the past. With fake money it's of course easier to be an emotionally detached gambler. Frankly, I'm shocked that Rayzer32 and myself were the only one's that had the game last night as a take it to the bank loss. I would have bet $500 of real money on it.
