Anyone interested? Just for fun and to make it interesting. Im going to bet the Pats win..straight up no points. I know its not a real big stretch to take that but if there are any Eagles backers that wanna bet I'm good for 3 dances($60)...at any of the trinity +1 clubs anyone want to bet? First one to post a reply, consider it solid. Is this legal here? LOL

What odds are you giving, seeing as you want the favorite and you're not giving any points. 5:2 sounds about right.

If you re read it, it says straight up. No odds. No confident Eagles fans out there? Is it really that obvious the Pats are gonna win? Even to Eagles fans? Guess so. Ill put the $60 back in my pocket and give it to some young busty hot babe on my behalf i guess.

I'm not a confident Eagles fan, but even if I was, why would I make a straight bet when I could get odds or points anywhere I like?

Well as you said you arent a confident Eagles fan. Oh well. If you want to take the bets elsewhere do so, Its pretty apparent that there arent any confident Eagles fans here that wanna take my money. If you want odds and to play through the books, thats what they are there for. Its the Super Bowl. If you want points, then you admit your team is not as good. WA WA WA I just thought there'd be an Eagles fan confident enough to wanna have some fun and get a few free dances. As i said. No skin off my nose. Just more dances for me on Monday night!

This will be a low scoring game...the first team to 21 points wins (Patriots)

Taking points isn't admitting that a team isn't as good. I could just as easily say that you don't have enough confidence in your team to lay a touchdown. The spread has nothing to do with what team is better. It says that the betting public believes that the Eagles aren't as good. The betting public is often wrong.

It isn't a case of WA WA WA, it's common sense. Plain and simple. Give your head a shake.

*Shakes head* Nope, still says you dont think your team is as good. My request was pretty simple. Dont want a piece? thats cool. The public then doesnt think the Eagles are as good, nor does anyone that wants points, that is pretty simple too. If you ask for points you are basically saying you dont have the confidence. Starting from an even playing field is fair if both parties believe their team will win. Thats all i was asking. For a sincere Eagles fan or someone that truly believes the Eagles can win to bet. or even someone like I_am_good, that just wants to have a little fun.Straight Up.

Sounds good! I know anything can happen but ive got a few bets going on. Just makes things a bit more interesting when watching. So you being from Alabama, how am I (or you) going to collect on the winnings? We'll talk. Lets just hope no matter what happens its a great game. Enjoy the game. Cheers

I bet Philly straight up but got better than 2:1 odds.

I can't believe somebody was stupid enough to take that bet. Oh well. As P.T. Barnum used to say....

First off, I already told you Philly is not my team. As of this morning, if I bet $60 on Philly straight up, it would pay me about $140. IF, I thought the Eagles were going to win straight up, why would I bet with you instead of that bet? If you can't understand why betting $60 straight up isn't flat out dumb, I'm wasting my time.

Good for you, you got somebody to take the bet, but win or lose it's a dumb bet.

And that my friends, is why you take the points.
Geez man get over it! If you didnt want to get involved then dont. LOL who really cares? Its not a sucker bet and thats not what i was looking for. I also clearly understand how the points and odds systems work. Im not a bookie or Vegas gaming system. I was just looking for anyone that might want to take the bet based on what i suggested. Why do you care so much and why do you assume I want your bet vs you betting with the odds somewhere else. Lighten up....lol. Take it for what it was worth. I was betting lap dances here dude...lol. Close game though eh? Oh and thanks for enlightening everyone with your quote...lol (insert ray of light and sarcasm here) Im sure we all know why you take the points...lol. It just wasnt part of this particular bet
