Hello Friends,

We already had thousands of opportunities during regular season to bet and win so much money! Some of you might have stacked a big sum while other unlucky ones might have lost a fortune or a slice of it. If you were really good, your talent had spoken the truth during regular season as per your win-loss record. Why try and test it further during such an intense game where both teams will be fighting tooth and nail and predicting a winner is so so tough in my honest opinion. Definitely one team will win and there will be celebrations and despair amongst bettors today.

Instead of going through either of that (celebrations or despair), why can't we just drop our weapons, keep our stubbornness aside and enjoy this game with a glass of Beer and Popcorns without betting any money? The amount of stress bettors will go through is NOT WORTH IT especially in such an intense game. I will not bet any money even if I can afford to lose it and will watch this game for pure ENJOYMENT! Just my 2 Cents!! Cheers

Well because I am going to bet FLA  .. If they win i will be pissed I did not bet them so I will have to root for Houston then anyway.. If i lose I  will not be pissed because its just a bet and you cannot win them all.. So to eliminate being pissed I will bet FLA ... peace_5

Be careful with the axe Eugene.

@MIZARD

 cool I don't have money down....but have my double-pepperoni w/green onions and a 6-pack of Millers to simply enjoy the game.

I do this often. 

I have no desire to bet every game simply because it's on the schedule and/or primetime TV. That would spell real addiction, imo.

And you’re requesting I be banned?? You seem like an innocent young man with no negativity… great luck with the popcorn, maybe drop the alcohol.  This is all …not for everyonean_shake

Never told why I was banned and gave my best always to the forums
