My best bro, who got me into Steelers football is betting me $100 against the STEELERS.. Bizarre but it's not that he wants them to lose, he's just so worried about losing as he has been a fan for much longer than. He hopes to lose the bet cuz a STEELER win would make the money meaningless to him.

I find it makes the game that much more interesting.

So who else Is betting and how much??

Well, you know that you are about to get 15 posts saying your friend can't be a real Steeler fan if he is betting against them. :lol:

yeah, I reckon your right about that.
He's very very concerned about the PACKERS, and doesn't like to get his hopes up til after the games are won. He tells me that I don't know what it's like to be dissapointed with all the tuff losses during the Cowher era. Says I haven't experienced the hurt and pain of getting my hopes up and losing. but i'll NEVER walk out on a STEELER game. He text me earlier this evening and told me, that he prays to god that the STEELERS WIN, the money doesn't matter to him. I'm Optimist, He's Pesimist.. GO STEELERS :Beer
and I hope I get that 100 bucks, imma party like a maniac or maybe get another jersey or 2.

I actually understand your friend's way of thinking, in his mind it's worth a $100 to have the Steelers win...

EXACTLY. if they lose, at least he'll be a richer man for it and the pain will be just alittle bit less (he also bet another person $100) and if they win, that will be PRICELESS to him!

:wft

$100 lousy dollars would not make me feel any better whatsoever. In fact, it would make me feel much, much worse. I'm not selling my soul for a lousy C note. But that's just me.

How about this...instead of betting on either team, just spend the freaking hundred dollars on an awesome food spread for the game and enjoy yourself.

I GOT MONEY ON THE STEELERS!!!

In week 6 of the season, I gave money to a friend going to Vegas and asked him to place a bet for me. The bet was to try to parlay Steelers to win AFCC and Falcons to win NFCC. I calculated that at the time a $100 bet on that would've been about a $2300 payout. Well, I couldn't find a way to do that bet online, so I had a feeling the casinos might not be able to play that bet either. So my fallback bet was to just take Steelers to win Superbowl (at 8-1 at that time, too bad it wasn't a week or two before when they were 12-1).

So I lucked out that they couldn't take that parlay bet since the Falcons flamed out. However, I desperately need the Steelers to win! (and this is after my $800 winnings I cashed in on during the World Cup, i bet big on Spain to win and they came through.)

I placed my $100 bet on them to win SB XLV on 8/21/10. At the time the odds were 19 to 1. I couldn't believe they were that high, so I had to jump on it. One more to go!!!!

Chadman put $100 on the Steelers to win the SB way back in June- 17-1.

A couple of mates said Chadman was throwing money away.

Funny- both called this week & remember the bet, suddenly they are seeing the wisdom...
