I need your help???

Of my many many many many many many vices, gambling is not one of them. Sorry.

 

You bet on games? After making a thread title like that followed by ???

 

I'd go with the Eagles.... 8-0 coming off of a bye under Andy Reid... And we're just not playing good ball

 

Bet the bar on it.

 

I would go with the Eagles...

As Beaman mentioned, the Eagles are 8-0 under Andy Reid after their bye week.

Not only that, but the Jets are playing awful football. Chad Pennington should be able to have a pretty good game with Dawkins and another one of their CB's out from the game.

I still think McNabb will have a better game and the Eagles will win.

 

I had a period where I bet, and bet hard. Not irresponsibly like this, though. So, I'll offer three things that all good sports bettors invariably do with their weekly calls:

First, they have no time for multiple opinions on an internet messageboard. Good bettors don't leave their bets to gut feelings or happenstance. Second, they know where their money is going by Wednesday of the football week - maybe sooner, because it's idiotic to decide where your money is going on Friday after 80% of the money is in and the odds have moved as far as they're going to go. Lastly, they quit. They all quit. Eventually.

 

Come on, Sunday. You're making it rain on Fantasy Island. Mr. Roarke frowns upon you.

 

I am Ron Burgundy?

 

I know. . . .I know. . . . .

Why do I bother? Call it a character flaw.

 

The Gambler's Ruin.

I'll leave it to StatJeff to explain the fine print, but basically what it says is that continous betting in a controlled system will eventually bring a gambler to zero assets to gamble with unless he has a walk-away point where he takes his money and leaves the game as is. If you have a really stupid bookie you might avoid it but that's what it will take.

 

You're right, it's a sure win, bet every dime to your name on this game. On the Jets. The Jets can't lose.

 

if u bet on the jets each week and are still alive ,u are super human,the last 5 years
alone must have lead to severe hair loss, no nails, several heart attacks ,liver
failure due to consolement through alcohol ,several attempted suicides and
many succesful bank raids . which has probably led to u being on most wanted .. just like to say good luck this week..

 

How came I've never heard anyone say "I'm way behind. I'm almost broke"

BTW its a coin flip this week
