I am a die hard 49ers fan and I feel like I know my team inside n out. This year has been frustrating for me and it pains me to say it but I've made money fading the 49ers lately, especially on thanksgiving. Which leads me to why I am starting this thread. I've been reading everything u could possibly imagine all week in regards to this Sunday's game with Seahawks. I can honestly say there is 0% of me that thinks the 49ers cover the 9.5 spread. I currently have $2,000 on Seattle -9.5 already but I am contemplating adding $7,500 more. This would be hands down the biggest bet of my life by a long shot. I've been talking to a bunch of friends all week who all think this will play out the same way I do. Gonna have a bunch of friends come over to watch the game with me. So here is where I'm at... I'm reaching out to the covers forum to see if anybody on here has anything they feel like I am missing. Can someone talk me about of making this the bet of my life? Besides pride for the 49ers...Thanks for your feedbacksJsharks99

Why would you over extend yourself?

You will want to throw your computer out the window when you see this spread drop and will put more money down at the lower number. Either way this is a terrible thing to do, if the Niners show up for 1 more game this year it'll be this one. Also ask yourself this. Will Seattle be 100% mentally prepared for this game? Probably not as they have owned the Niners lately. San Fran will cover this number and you will hate yourself for betting this game tomorrow night. Just buy out of this bet now and look for other opportunities. Don't say you were not warned. [You were right the spread did go down. Seattle may end up covering the game but taking them in the second half you could have gotten -3 instead of the 9.5 The under was the easiest play on this game. Never in doubt]

Congrats on the big win
But as an advice that you may want to take or not, never go crazy like that in one game, if you usually bet 100-300 my guess is losing 10k could put you in a bad situation or at least will keep you from doing something you would like to do, this is just a guess.
Money management and never losing more than you feel comfortable losing are golden rules. If you lose 10K it's going to be ugly and if you win you're probably going to do it again (I've seen people going that path and usually it ends very ugly).
Sorry for the probably boring advice but I saw a person close to me go down in an ugly way and if some boring words can prevent someone for doing the same I'll gladly do it.
Bet to have fun and if that fun gets you a little extra cash more power to you, but don't bet to get rich and more importantly don't bet in one game to get rich.
Congrats on your win, as a niner fan I was really pissed at that call.
