I know there's a thread for football betting with fake cash. But let's talk about those placing bets with friends, season/weekly bets with trips to Vegas, or online account betting. List your bet here in this thread so we can discuss good/bad bets and who's taking home the cash. I think it would be an interesting thread to watch all season long.

Bets should be for money or goods only. Nothing like, "If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, my wife blows me." Nothing like, "If the Chiefs don't make the playoff, my friends are making me getting a really shitty chest tattoo (Hometeam)."


So lay it out and post your bets!

I'll go first. Best friend is a Vikings fan and degenerative gambler. He told me he thinks the Vikings will make the NFC Championship game. I told him he was an idiot. He asked what I would give him if they did, and I told him $100. He asked me what I wanted and I said a bottle of booze (to give him some odds so to speak). He offers a bottle of Belvenie Doublewood 12 year scotch. About $60 a bottle. I was thinking maybe a bottle of Jim Beam! So of course, I took the bet with his given terms.

Oh wow, that's fantastic.

Who's the lucky winner? Or loser if your house is shitty?

I'll do my usual which is a $25 parlay(3-4 teamer)per week and then bet $10 per game on everything else. I'll post my parlays here

Buddy was out Vegas about 2 months ago and we were talking NFL odds when standing by the counter and put it in for me. According to VegasInsider (http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/futures/) that's still the line if you can get it in.

How crazy of an idea is it to put $1000 on Chiefs over 9.5 wins?

I want to find a website that will allow me to bet on the coin flip of a junior varsity girls soccer game...if they even have one. Im going to be doing my fair share of political bets this year, that shit is fun

I have no bets going and no clue on the lines, but I'd put $500 on JAX for the over for wins. Same goes for OAK.

$50 says the Chiefs manage to lose a game in a way that hasn't been seen since 1935.

JAX is 7.5, OAK 8.5.

I thought the same about JAX, but what would make me take the under is literally everyone I talk to thinks they will hit the over. That doesn't normally end too well for the public.

Weirdly enough, I don't usually bet futures. I want to win or lose that day. But I do think that's a solid bet.

I'd take on that one if I could for another 2 or 3 hundred. I'd be willing to bet LA murders them to make a statement. That will be up to -5 me thinks by game time.

I'm away from my desk so I can't check my slips, but I know I got KC Chiefs 20:1 back in March. I think I threw $50 at them.

49ers are aweful but I'm weary of road teams inter division on week 1. A lot needs to happen for a line to move 3 pts especially for week 1.

Not going to correct it, just going to point out how amazing it is that I misspelled the word awful in my above post.

Lol. I did shitty on parlays like everyone who bets them regularly but I did finish the regular season 16 individual games over .500 so I have $160 to bet on in the playoffs.

Lew-you did well. I told people a year ago that when Vikes kicked the ball wide left, they would not make the playoffs in 2016. No one would take the bet.

I ended up doing $500 on 9.5 and $500 on 10 for a profit of $1010.

My favorite scotch. I was drinking it during the game today. Last week too. Now I have to drink it every game. :D

To answer your question, in September in Vegas I put $100 at 20-1 on the Chiefs to win the SB.

The Vikings are the exact match of the Chiefs in the NFC.

We grew up in Montana together. Up there it's pick your team for whatever stupid fucking reason you can.
