How much is your 401k? Dont go nuts here buddy, but I do believe your on the right side on this game, remember, nothing is 100% & anything can happen late in a game where it screws you on a cover. With that said, lay 25% of your 401k on the Patriots, they should win by 2 tds!

I say do it bro.

I personally jumped on NE-4
and NYJ -3.5

No way those 2 teams in the AFC East playoff hunt lose to anybody in the NFC West not based in Arizona......

Horrible idea. Great way to lose your 401k without the help of the government. Save your money.

Why did you pull out the fund sfrom your 401(l)? Because you thought it was too volatile?

If so, the swings in gambling are EXPONENTIALLY worse.

Because you thought that it was a losing proposition?

If so, best estimates are that only the top 2% or so of sports gamblers are profitable, compared to the vast majority of people being profitable just blindly investing in equities.

If these are your retirement funds - this is a bad, bad idea.

I kill the rate of return in the stock market every year, and as I already have a 100% growth in my bankroll this year with the typical risk on a play being 1%, that's most definitely better than a 100% difference better than the stock market this year, lol. But like Lee said, I'm in the 2% of long-time winning players, lol.

That being said, I don't like NE in this game at all. Hasselbeck and his receivers are finally getting healthy -- they actually had a good game in Dallas last week that wasn't reflected in the final score. Against NE's poor secondary they should have good success all day and challenge for the home win.

Betting all you have earn for months in just one game just to recover what you lost?
BAD IDEA
I lost 35% of my starting bankroll the first 3 weeks of the NFL season, then I get to the basics betting 1% per bet of my money. I have recover 10% of my 35% lost slowly but secure.
Just my 2 cents
Good luck!

you can throw on seattle, but this line seems too low..... something could be up here, leaning toward taking the pts.

I'm so bad taking teasers or parlays. I always lost b/c 1 didn't cover. That's why I only do straight bets.

Good luck, keep that rolling
