    Stupid Super Bowl bet

    Beginning of the season my buddy bet me 4/1 New England would win the Super Bowl

    risking $1000 to Win $250

    What's the best hedge. I really think they are going to crush.

    If I understand correctly, if NE wins you're losing $1000? If so, there is no way to hedge at this point. If you're sure NE is going to win, you bet $1000 on it to break even. If ATL wins, at least you only lose $750 instead of the $1000 you thought you were losing. Not ideal but you made the bet and rode it this far. I'm positive you could have gotten better than 4:1 pre season and just free rolled the guy, but you got greedy
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    It was a few games in. Was Vegas odds at the time. The line is -160 so $1000 wouldn't cover it.

    Not if they have the same bunch of refs that called their game last Sunday.

    I get Brady is god but Matt Ryan is playing like a robot that doesnt fuck up. All Brady has to do is fuck up once and it is over. Bet a ton @ +3 at even money.

    Yeah, betting against Brady is like betting against Bama. But one out of ten hit and I am confident Atlanta is going to take it down or at least lose by a little.,

    History says they won't.


    Since 2002, Super Bowl wins by the New England Patriots.

    2002...New England Patriots 20–17 St. Louis Rams (Rams were favored by 14 points)

    2004...New England Patriots 32–29 Carolina Panthers (Patriots were favored by 7)

    2005...New England Patriots 24–21 Philadelphia Eagles (Patriots were favored by 7)

    2008...New York Giants 17–14 New England Patriots (Patriots were favored by 12)

    2012...New York Giants 21–17 New England Patriots (Patriots were favored by 2.5)

    2015...New England Patriots 28–24 Seattle Seahawks (Pick'em)


    Yeah, you sure would've made a fortune betting the Patriots as a favorite.

    As the favorite since 2002, Patriots did not cover for 2 Super Bowls, lost outright for 2 Super Bowls and won 2 years ago when the Super Bowl was a Pick'em.

    The New England Patriots have lost twice to the New York Giants.

    Are the Atlanta Falcons a better team than the New York Giants? Fuck yeah they are.


    Current Odds 01/25/2017...New England Patriots -3 OVER Atlanta Falcons TOTAL 59 points

    Atlanta Falcons UNDER 59 points

    Keep pounding Atlanta guys.

    But only money you can afford.

    Brady isn't leaving Texas without the trophy.

    He can have the trophy, just let him win by 1 or 2 points.

    Record of opposing coaches who are facing Belichick for the first time since 2010
    3-22

    Edit:
    One of those wins was ex Patriot coordinator & spy gate whistle blower Eric Mangini as the Browns head coach. (Mangini will never work in NFL again)

    Let's make that 2-22 to be fair.

    :lightingmoneyonfire


    Quinn gonna buck that trend in this highly unusual game? As a newly minted head coach?

    Quinn says he has 95% of his game plan complete and ready for practice. Really? Even Belichick admits he has a ways to go.

    Atlanta dead last in red zone defense.

    Bill Maher is rooting for the Atlanta Falcons at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

    Not because he’s from Atlanta or is a longtime fan of the team, but because of who they are facing ― the New England Patriots.

    “The Falcons are playing a team where the owner, the coach and the star quarterback all love and support Donald Trump,” Maher said on Friday’s broadcast of “Real Time. “So I’d really like for them (The Patriots) to lose by a score of a million fucking thousand to none.”
