Here's a fuckin how-de-do
|
In standard fashion, I have a ridiculous amount of my bankroll on the Super Bowl. Here are my bets. (1 unit = 1% of my bankroll)
Will the game go to Overtime? NO -1100 (11 units) Colts -5 (2 units) First Half UNDER 28.5 (2 units) Second half OVER 28 (1 unit) Will there be a 1-yard TD? NO +130 (.5 unit) Will there be a score in the final 2 minutes of 1st half? NO +220 (.5 unit) Will Dallas Clark score at least one TD? (non-passing) YES +100 (.5 unit) Total yards of Peyton Manning's first completion? UNDER 9 +115 (.5 unit) Total TDs scored? UNDER 6.5 +130 (.5 unit) Will Colts Punt or score first? PUNT +105 (.5 unit) Will Saints Punt or score first? PUNT -115 (.5 unit) |

I care.
Nice work f3lix starting this thread a couple hours before kickoff and then getting fired up when no one responded. Some of us were too busy doing things like hanging out with our friends to be making internet posts. You should try it sometime. Regarding bets, I cleaned up. I was pretty heavy on Under 57 and at halftime I hedged and took Over 28 and hit my 12-point middler. It was pretty sweet. I run so good on Super Bowl bets in even numbered years. Had 3 bets with Orgazmo: That the first score of the game would happen with 8:46 remaining in the first quarter or sooner (lost). That Dallas Clark would not score a TD (won). That Peyton Manning would have more passing yards than Brees or no worse than 29 fewer passing yards than Brees (won). My roommate was betting on the craziest shit: That game MVP would not thank God first (not sure how this will be graded). That Carrie Underwood's anthem would be under 1 minute and 42 seconds (lost by a couple of seconds). That CBS would flash to Archie Manning less than 4 times (won; they only showed him once). That the Who guitarist would make the big 360 windmill less than 5.5 times (lost going away; there was a stretch where he did it like 15 times in a row right on camera, we were laughing our asses off at how badly that bet lost since it was small enough that losing wasn't a big deal). The Super Bowl is Fun with a capital F. |

"I just positioned myself in front of the TV to start watching Super Bowl pregame coverage five hours before kickoff. I love Super Bowl Sunday. I’m a total sucker for it. The coverage, buildup, suspense, flash bulbs at kickoff, commercials, all of it, love the whole thing. I’ll probably fire up a couple of the usual tournaments so long as I’m sitting here doing nothing, but I really don’t want to play too many to where I can’t primarily focus on the game." | |

Yup. Check your missed calls. Tried to get some bets going with you but apparently you just wanted to talk the talk, but not walk the walk, but then get mad when other people didn't walk the walk too. The hypocrisy!

I make bad decisions.
|
Not a prop bet, but my only SB bet was between a girl I know. This was proposed during first quarter.
My foosball table (given to me free last week) VS her being a naked maid for a month. I don't have a naked maid, yet I also haven't lost my foosball table. My thoughts were that the fact that it needs to be taken apart to get outta my house, greatly enhances the chance of it pretty much being a freeroll. That and the Colts were already up, so I didn't have a second thought at taking that bet. Then I got blackout drunk. |

Re-explaining. She was betting on the Saints and I was taking the Colts. She wins the bet, she gets my foosball table. If I won, she had to be a naked maid for a month.
She proposed the bet toward the end of the first quarter, in which the Colts were already winning. I of course took the bet. Although I have lost the bet, she has yet to collect on the bet. A couple of things which might hinder her collecting on the bet. The foosball table has to be partially taken apart to get it out of my place and that she doesn't have a truck. Hope that makes more sense. |
