reading the previous thread made me think of a couple of my preseason bets. the one i like the most is my buddy (eagles fan) offered me 5 to 1 on a hundred that we wont sweep them. honestly i feel the eagles will be a .500 team this year, and possibly worse if mcnabb didnt fully recover. i also have two fifty dollar bets with two of my other buddies on the division. anybody have any feed back. oh yea and i also have a lock bet that our defense will be better. which is a given

I've got a hundred dollar bottle of wine riding on the Cowboys making it to the Divisional round of the playoffs.

Plus 18 to 1 on $20 that they win the Super Bowl at the Mandalay Bay.

The Boys have swept the eagles like once over the last 6 or 7 years. 5 to 1 bet isn't bad odds, but I'd still not make the bet. Chances are you lose $100.

If I were a gambling man (and I am), I would put like $200 on a team that has like 40:1 odds of making it to the superbowl. You lose $200, oh well, but if you win. That's 8 grand!

I'll put down a smooth $100.00 that McFlabb does not make it through the whole season...

So I take it you flushed that $200 on the Skins to win?

If you give me 40:1 odds that the Skins would win it all, I'd take it honestly. I won't notice the $200 being gone by that time, and if it does happen, then damn, I got $8000!

But I haven't gone to Vegas yet, so it will just have to wait.

You can make that bet on bodog.com - and surprisingly, the Skins are 40:1.

Looks like it's time for you to drop two bills on your boys. I put 50 on the Cowboys at 20:1.

Somebody take FH350's bet, ... QUICK !!

That would be the easiest $200 you will ever make.

Bodog.com has the Skins at 40 to 1 to win the Super Bowl. You can double up and take the Packers at the same odds since it's such a good deal. :)

You asking me if I take this bet?

I get $200 if the Skins don't win the Super Bowl, you get $8000 if the Skins do win the Super Bowl?

Hell yes I will take this bet.

Thanks, but I can wait the 10 weeks and handle it myself.

Not that I don't trust you or anything...

Halfers would be $100.

You'd owe him $4000 if we lost.

Unless you want to pick the Skins to win too and owe me $100 if they don't.
