Sure. I know the spots where they are usually vulnerable-most often certain road venues that they can NOT play well in.

My favorite team is the one I have my money on except for baseball where I am a diehard Giants fan and have been since they arrived on the West Coast in the late 1950's. Could never bet against them. All other teams/sports, show me the money.

The only team I won't do it with is the Mets. I have Jet season ticket and will bet against them in a game I'm at....Baseball is different.

I will In basketball and football and root against them.

In Baseball, I will bet against the Sox in a regular Season game on occassion, but I can't watch the game if I do, because I can't root against them. Never would bet against them in a game that really matters.

money is money. If you cap them to lose you gotta bet them to lose.

I don't have any favorite teams. I never really understood why people feel the need to root for bunch of guys they don't know.

Maybe it's just me.:icon_conf

Keep in mind, I'm not necessarily talking about my team losing....Many cases are big fav Nebraska foots games on the road giving what I think are way too many points.

you bet long enough and you start to realize you dont have any favorite teams anymore.

if you're anything like me , you will start to have more favorite players than teams.

Betting against your team as a favorite would be the best. If they win but fail to cover it's like hittin a middle. :thumbsup2:

Sometimes I'll do the ML if my team is a heavy favorite and we NEED the win.

I'll always bet for/against them if a system calls for it, does make for some awkward cheering sessions.

My favorite team just covers.

The Patriots were a covering machine until this year.

If my favorite teams were any good and played important games I wouldn't. But they're not so I do.
