Anyone do this ... legitimately?

I want to put down money on this Sundays game.

Thanks.

I'll take your bet and you're gonna regret 'cuz I'm the best there's ever been!

Yep, but you can't live in America for most of the sites.

Local bookies are legitimate if you ask me.

Most have NE -9. Meaning that New England has to beat us by more than 9 points for you to win.

whats the line?

This seems like a sucker bet. When 80% of the general pop money goes one way it is bad news.

I would the house on that no brainer. A pissed off, fired up Tom Brady at home with a chip on his shoulder against a team spiraling downward, no leadership and ....relying on Marvin to get us back to form? lol

Easy bet. Guaranteed money.

I think rule number one in betting is don't bet your own team. GL though.

That's why I'm betting on the Pats

It's actually a horrible bet. I bet on football quite frequently and taking lines that are close to 10 is a bad deal. You want to avoid those type of games. Even if it's a horrible team vs the best team in the league. There's a saying "any given Sunday" for a reason, and that's to win a game. To give up that many points is just way too risky. You can do what you want with you're money though. I just wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks. I appreciate the advice

I do it all the time. I never bet ON the Bengals. It's a kiss of death. I usually bet against them to lose so if they do lose, at least I gain something financially. If they win, I'm even happier.

I made $250 this past weekend. Wish I lost.

If you do like risks, just bet the winner. Sure, betting that the Pats just win will only get you about $22 for every $100 you wager, but I think we can all agree that there is a very good chance the Pats win.

Sometimes, I do what's called a "Nightmare Scenario". I bet that the Bengals will LOSE and the Steelers will WIN. This week, since the Bengals are a huge underdog and the Steelers are a huge favorite, if you parlay them both you would get about $54 for every $100 you bet. I'm sure if the Bengals won you would be more than happy to lose some money. I am.

^Interesting. Thank you fellas!

Parlay the steelers to win and the pats to win outright.  It is a given and if for some reason, the steelers lose or the bengals win, I'm still happy.  Who said money can't buy you happiness?
