The hype and gets the betting juices flowing.
For example - If you were +$10,000 for the season would you bet $20,000 on the Super Bowl?

Again, ALL PLAYERS are different you can't generalize. It's still just one game @ the end of the day.

Bet what you can so you can ENJOY THE GAME and not get stressed and pissed off (i.e., what if, I should have maybe done this or that differently, whatever the case. EAT, DRINK and LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY. There is ALWAYS another betting opportunity tomorrow (my account is locked and loaded for BASES).

ENJOY THE SUPER BOWL......CASH THOSE TICKETS.

I have a serious question as to why people post a Super Bowl pick as their largest bet of the season. In this case the highest bet has been 2 units but Super Bowl 4 units. Is the side, total or team total in this game really the best bet of the entire season? Or do people post it as the largest bet just because it's the last game of the season. I'm genuinely curious.
Why as a X-Bookie of 25 years I would see it happen all the time. This would happen also with the Monday Night game. Like the last call in a bar. People have EGO,S and then there are also the degenerate gamblers. Don't tell me you waited 21 weeks to make your largest bet of the season. That's a joke, no reasoning can justify it. Case closed. Ace would not disagree with this statement.

I forgot one other thing. You bet on credit. Pay up day was usual Wednesday. They didn't have the money. I probably heard every story there was why they couldn't pay. Payment plan was the next step.

This is spot on as it's fundamental. I too with a buddy were books in the '90s. We knew several books in the Brooklyn, Queens, Texas, and New Jersey area. Been involved with gambling since the late 80s.

Everything match for abig play …….at a point that Iwant to win the season……..im even with that Minny bet….and if that was not in question. The bet would be $2500……lets say im at $100 player. 1 unit = $100. So a 4 unit play is $400…..no one would say a word…….this bet is a little higher than most…….but for me there will be no question if I win…..the NFL season for 2024-25 will be a winning year. Not a big deal if IM up $2k or down 6k…….this bet is not about the money (maybe a little lol )

ego….you hit it on the button

plus all 4 system on it…..that dont happen every super bowl. Most year it a toss up…….this year it looks like one side is a lot better by the number……..

I totally understand and appreciate your response. One of the questions I asked was if, per say, you are +$10,000 for this season would you bet $20,000 on this year's Super Bowl? Or would you bet any smaller amount to guarantee a "winning season" as you said in your response. I'm just trying to figure out your thinking before i take in consideration your bet recommendation.

It’s all about were you are!! Stocks are the same if im up $10k. You got to keep the profit….be dumb to add more stock and risk if you know there going to have a bad quarter.\\

to get the $10k did you bet 2k a game to get it…..why would you bet 5 times that in the last game…..bad management of the money……but why do some bet 10k a game and than and up 100k for the season and bet 1 million on the Super Bowl……EGO

i for one would not.

Still you have to ask what money means to you

once you have money you dont need it any more

it becomes a game

I know some people like that


I alway say. Put money aside and only use that


if that guy you are talking about +10k. Had a bank roll to lose of 15K. He may say…WTF

each person is different \\

me its a sport and some years I have a hard time spending. Because I got what I need in life.

lot of people. Make $1000 on there job and spend 1200 each week…….those are the ones that will not get ahead in life

70% of the people live from pay check to pay check………. If that person up 10k and dont take the profit. He or she is a fool

only the people in the top 30% can take that risk without losing sleep

that my insight

I get it but it's the same math.

Bet 4k (normal bet 2k)
Bet 20k (normal bet 10k)

Of course it's more money per bet but its the same percentage of bet increase, 100% bet increase with both examples.

Wagering comes down to what money actually means to people. If it hurts to lose then it's a gamble. If it never hurts to lose then it's investment opportunities.

Person A can be ready to take the bridge if they lose $1000 dollars when person B treats it like the daily ebbs and flows of the market.

I always laugh when people on this forum get up in arms about wager amounts of other posters. Who cares what people do and how much they say or don't say or do or don't wager.

The main objective of a wagering forum should be for people to share wagering information.

Kaboom wagers $10 a game on average but probably works the hardest to break down games and find angles.

You misunderstood what I'm saying. I just used betting amounts as an example.

Most people in forums use the SB to bet a higher amount than normal during the season if they are in the negative for the season to take a chance to get in the positive.

I'll use units as a example instead of money. Highest bets during the year is 5 units. The poster is negative 20 units for the season. Super Bowl bet is 30 units.

Maybe that's a better expanding. No worries, GL.

Interesting stat
6 of those losses happened in regular season, when Fangio was head coach of the Broncos, 2019-2021, theses 6 losses were part of Denver's 15 straight losses to KC, I wouldn't put much into this stat
