I use to hate to do this ...

Only would play them, or stay away from the game.

But over the past few years that has changed. If I feel they will lose and there's some value in it, I will Bet against them.

I've bet against the Reds and have normally been pretty successful doing so

I try to never bet on or against IU. On the few occasions I have i've lost.

Hel l yes. Most athletes are dopes. They don't care about you. I owe them no loyalty.

I may be wise to play on/off my fave teams as I seem to do well with that, though I have not actually tracked it.

Oh yeah. Being a homer I typically have a better read on when to play and when to fade them.

Not since Saban arrived at Alabama.

Usually the line is so inflated that its not worth it just to bet on your home team.

I like to bet against Bama in a non-conference game (ULM, FAU, W. Car., etc) when the
line is 40 to 50. Believe it or not, Saban does not try to run up the score and embarrass
these type teams so odds to win are pretty good. At least it has been for me.

Absolutely wagered against my favorite/home team many, many times.

I think following a team so closely gives us an advantage over other wagers...
