Can't do it...Never bet on or against my own team. Although...There was this one time....
The Bengals had just announced that they were starting....Akili Smith. He was to start against the defending Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs STILL had this stigma about not winning in games below 40 degrees. They opened as 9 point favorites. I had run my $100 account to just over $900. I put it ALL on the Bucs. Needless to say, it paid for the season tickets the next season.
I will admit that if the steelers are underdogs, I almost always bet on them to win because if they do, I win money...if they lose, I am happier than if I won. I'm not right...
