Couple of Super Bowl bets. - Nubblies.net Forums

SittinOnDubsWGW · 12-14-2005, 08:02 AM

I basically took a couple of bets today, which one is really not all that great of a bet, but its for my favorite team, and the odds are pretty decent.

This bet would be that the Bucs will make it to the Super Bowl. Yes, I know this is a longshot, hence the 22/1 on my money, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

My more reasonable bet is on the Seahawks making it to the SB. (yes I know that these are both NFC teams and that my bets are going against each other) but I honestly think that Seattle is the team to go for the NFC this year.

My teams have always been the Niners, Bears, and Bucs (I'm obviously a fan of the NFC, even though it sucks) so I wouldn't complain a bit if both of my bets would lose and da bears go.

I like the Bucs as well, grandparents have always had a place in St Pete so I usuall cheer for Tampa Bay area teams.

i'd like to see a couple teams in the running, NY obviously, Indy, Pittsburgh...

For 22:1, the Bucs are a great bet. 22:1 sounds more like odds they should have on winning the Super Bowl. Are you sure that you didn't bet on that? 22:1 to make it there it pretty sweet.

They have a solid defense, and a coach who knows how to navigate through the playoffs. Their offense is young, but that didn't stop the Steelers from making it there last year.

Yeah it was the Pats that stopped them from making it there last year.

Yes, I am sure on that, there is some kid that I know running a sportsbook, and I made sure to explicitly put it at GETTING TO the Super Bowl. The odds are actually really close to what they are at winning the SB (which are 24:1 BTW & 5:1 for Seattle) So I'm getting great odds compartively to the online sites.

I still think that Seattle is the team to beat in the NFC, but I obviously am hoping that my Bucs can pull it out.

Is this place still offering 22:1 on them getting there? If so, where is it?

Well, it looks like Seattle has to make it past Carolina for me to turn a profit on my playoff bets.

I lost $20 to GMoney as it now seems highly improbable (yet somehow I believe there may still be a possibility) that the colts will win the Super Bowl.
