a whole chatroom turned on me a few weeks ago for taking the Giants (-9) over the Chiefs and actively rooting against the Chiefs to not cover near the end.
Was I rooting for the Giants at the beginning of the game? Hell no. Was I rooting for them once the game got out of hand at 27-3 in the 4th quarter? Hell yeah. If the Chiefs would have covered just to "cover" up a blowout game...it would have been more reason for me to hate them.
That's the most satisfied I've felt in three years after a game...they lost, I knew they'd get crushed, and they won me $300 (and 80,000 points on another gambling challenge I'm doing online)...
I've watched every game for the last decade...it's sad that the only way I can derive any sort of entertainment is to bet against them.
Though, I did bet for them (+7) this week and got paid off a 50 spot...I'm doing very well with my bets this year...so that's nice.
