playmaker81 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Some of you followed my thread from last week. Many didn't. It's linked below if you want to check it out.What I'm doing here is supporting my favorite team. We won like this last week so I'm doing it again this week. Call me supersticious and you would be exactly correct. Anyways, I'm going to continue to ride the Skins here this weekend. The Skins are getting 3 points so I am just going to bet them to win outright. I'm not going to break down the game or give you a reason why other than the fact that I BELIEVE in this team. I really think we have a shot. If I lose, it won't crush me, especially since I won last week, but I do expect us to protect our home-field this weekend, hence the rather large bet on the Skins again. I'm keeping the amount the same because, well, it worked last weekend. If this continues I've got something else in store for future bets, but I'll cross that bridge when (if) we arrive there. Wish me luck! Here is last week's thread if you wish to follow along: http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171208 thats gonna be rough losing a grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 illone, where/how do you go about placing these bets? Thanks I have a bookie I go through. That's what is so nice about this bet. Even if I lose he still owes me money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 What exactly is your point that everybody keeps missing? If you followed along from last week you would know that I was up a large chunk of cash with my bookie. I started the original thread because I wanted people to see that SOME of us believe in the Redskins. That's the whole point, not the money. I lose the grand, it doesn't set me back one bit because I'm UP already anyways. The whole point is that we should BELIEVE in our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spizzunk Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 What exactly is your point that everybody keeps missing? I think it's something like, "Believe in the team, and make stupid bets. That way you can brag about it on the internet like it really happened. Maybe you'll even be perceived as a good luck charm. Just make sure to start it against possibly the worst team in the league."

chiplohmillers#1 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 This is a pretty lame thread. It has nothing to do with being loyal, I would instead classify it as moronic. Besides who uses a bookie anyway? I'm putting down a G that this bet never actually happend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the guy who asked earlier, about where to place bets - if you really didn't know, bodog.com is a very nice site. You can place bets on anything, play poker, and casino games. I love it. If you're looking to place some action, I'd recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Since you are not getting points, are you getting odds?:helmet: My book hasn't released the moneyline odds yet. I'm guessing it'll be around +135 or so, hopefully better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
