I made a bet with a poster that the Saints would go 7-1 at home this season. Right now they are 2-1.

Is there a future play I can make at a book to hedge this play in case the Saints lose?

Is there any props out there for home wins/loses?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I've requested a mod send my phone # along in case you can't get down for enough next time. I will say nice call, the Saints are playing better, but to go 7-1 at home? That would be one hell of a prediction Chop if it came true but an almost ridiculous thing to bet money on IMO. Good luck with it though.

Sorry you feel that way. Did not know that having an opionion was being a jackass poster.

I wish you would have took me up on my STALLWORTH/COLSTON bet back when you guys were inducting Stallworth into the Hall of Fame after week one.

I took 2 posters money off of that. Already won a bet against another poster last month. Even if I do lose, im not down much.

I just think you are too opinionated and stick your foot in your mouth too much. We are all wrong sometimes it just seems that you make a stand too often and dont pick your battles. Your threads do cause interest and are fun but often lead to people wondering if all your marbles are there. I am not trying to be mean but I just think there is something to be said for not jumping the gun. Sorry if I was mean or the like.


And the STALLWORTH/COLSTON thing has years to go for an answer. And if I had bet you I would have been guilty of jumping the gun too.

BTW, this was a serious question. Does any book have home win/lose total futures?

I would like your opinion on the under this week in Tampa. I have it already and may add more at 38.5.

Unless I'm mistaken dont you usually hedge a bet who's odds have decresed ? You will have a tough time finding anyone to eat some of the bet you agreed to, and even if you do, the odds will huge chalk when I believe you gave the poster + 100.

Take the ML against them at home in each game that you think that they might lose. If they win, double it the next week, etc until they lose (which they WILL).

I think both teams will be able to run against each other almost at will. Thats a coin toss. Lots of long drives between the 20s. It will all depend on if the teams score 3 or 7 when they hit the redzone.

I know this sounds homer, so be it, but the smart play IMO is the SAINTS.

GOOD LUCK.

Probably winning advice there, but dont think I could pull that off emotionally.

Not trying to buy it all back. Just trying to get some back in the event that I may lose.

Would be willing to break even on 7-1 if I can cut my loss by $300 or so.

Yea but the thing that is ironic yet comical is that you are being too opinionated by claiming that Chop is too opinionated at times. Who the hell cares dub, and why do you feel the need to point it out?? I don't get it, let the guy be who he is and forget about it ya know? You really come off as a jackass a lot of times imo

I know how forums work people. My job is not to get you to agree with me, my job is to be interesting without sacrificing content. (Gamebreaker and a few others understand this) Many dont.

I will never go out on a limb just for the sake of going out on a limb.

But forums are meant for post like the ones you see from me.

I am a good marketer. I know how people tick. I am a master salesman.

I know how forums work.

Believe it or not, I am usally 2 steps ahead of most of the posters around here.

When people think they are getting the best of me, I already knew what was going to be posted and said before it was even posted.

I already know how this post is going to be recieved before pressing submit.


I POST BS without the BS. Only a few of you trully understand what I mean here. You have to read between the lines.

I post things that get people off, without intentionally lying to people.

Did and Do I believe the Saints WOULD/WILL go 7-1? YES I DO/DID.?

Well, you're in deep and if you want out, it certainly isn't going to be fun.

You could start by hedging 1/2....but you still have to root against them.
