sabbath1981 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have no doubt that if we do get beat it will NOT be by more than nine points. I am thinking of putting money against the spread but I fear this might ruin the game for me. Meaning we could lose by 3 and here I am with a winning bet. I might (gasp) not be that upset. Does anyone understand where I'm coming from? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinkleroot Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'd never advise anyone to bet on nfl games but if the skins loose the game and you win your bet it'll ease the pain in the amount of $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Lay it down. It really is easy money. This spread should be closer to 5. Throw a little on the ML if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone understand where I'm coming from? What do you think? I have a hard time betting in a game with my team involved as I'm afraid of jinxing them. But I have a few times in the past and usually it is when they are the underdog. You could do a moneyline bet. That way if the Skins win straight up, you get a nice fat payout.

jsco1112 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I bet often, and I think the spread is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Animal Trainer Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've been saying this every since I saw that huge point spread. If my memory serves me correctly we have been in only 2 games decided by more than 7 points. One was the blowout in NY at the hands of the Gmen, the other, when we blew the doors off Dallas at home. I say we're going to win the damn game, so I took 9 points and bet my roommate (who happens to be an idiot cowboy fan). I've seen the spread online at as high as 9.5, which would mean we would have to lose by 10 for you or I to lose money...thats just plain dumb. We've already beaten them once, they have the easiest schedule in the league, we have the 2nd most difficult. I say with that schedule, the skins would have been 13-3 no problem.

wshngtn1 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I'm laying some cash down tonight on the spread. Just gotta wait til I leave work to do it. This spread won't matter since WE'RE GOING TO WIN! Team loyalty and gambling shouldn't be mixed some say, but WE ARE GOING TO WIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, we hung 52 on the Niners. That said, I'm with the folks asking "When was the last time Seatle beat a winning team by 9 points?" (Heck, I'd say the odds are only 2 out of 3 that they'll score nine points. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Animal Trainer Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 My mistake on the 7 point logic...I think what I ment to say is that we havent been beaten by more than 7 points all year other than the Gmen debacle. I think the Cheifs only beat us by 7 at their house...other than that, all our losses have been so damn close it hurts to think about them. Actually, that game was soooooo close too. I'm telling you, this game will be close. Why the Seahawks of all teams will beat us by 10 points when its only happened once this year is beyond me. Take the money line or take the points...I might take the money line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCNightHawk Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 If we do lose (hopefully not) it definitly wont be more than 9 points, so go ahead and bet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyLight Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I bet on the ML AND the skins to cover. A lot of people that gamble A LOT more than I do (read daily) are betting on Seattle. I don't have the faintest clue as to why. Good Luck, be smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyLight Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Oh yeah, we've lost by more than a touchdown 2 times in the last 2.5 years. Take the farkin' bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
