back in July i placed a $5 wager on Carolina to win the Super Bowl, the odds were 17/1. If they win i am due to make $85 (plus my $5)

would anyone be interested in buying me out of this for $20?

for $20 you get well over 4/1 odds and the current line is 7/2. its a good deal for both of us especially if you like Carolina.

Carolina won't even make it far enough to be the sacrificial lamb against the Steelers or Broncos...but I'd guess that you already figured that part out.

I'm a BEARS fan.

I hate Delhome, dispise Smith.......the only thing i like about Carolina is their Lesbo chearleaders!

it hurts me to even look at this bet. infact, if i sell it before the weekend i'm going to put the $20 on Seatle.

not exactly, i thought it was a great pick pre season, they obviously have a decent team. and at 17/1 i liked it!

I had no idea they would face the BEARS in the playoffs. i am suprised the BEARS made it to the playoffs, i thought they would only win 6 games this yr.

The best is yet to come with Grossman, look out 2006!

$20 to get $85 is not 4:1 odds... closer to 3:1 and worse than if I were to lay the $20 myself.. I would get $90 ($70 for the win plus my original bet)

the game was over if Indy hit that fieldgoal.

Pitts win over Indy is the equivilant of getting rivered by a 2 outer.

GL vs Denver

The initial bet was $5 to win $85 for a total of $90. If you wagered $20 at 4/1, you would win $80 for a total of $100. If you took the deal, you'd be getting the Panthers at 7/2.


Of course, now that they beat the Bears, it looks a little better.

1) We won, you didn't.
2) IF IF IF IF the right call is made on the review, it's over there. IF IF IF IF.
3) You were wrong.
4) At least my team has a Champinship game to look forward to.
5) The Bears losing is the equivilant to a 10 year old shitting the bed.
6) Did I mention how WE WON!

Come on people. I'm a Colts fan and I'm already over it. No point bickering about it. Colts got outplayed for 90% of the game, period.

You would've gotten the Panthers at about 8:1 before they played the Bears.

common, do you see why you're not giving a deal now?

i guess. it seemed like a deal when i thought it up.

i still dont care if i win the wager but i guess $85 is $85.

since i'm rooting for the other team no mater who they play......and if its consistant that i lose whoever i root for..........looks like i'm going to win sad.gif
