What are things you WONT bet?

[1968]

Saw this post and it got me to thinking--

"I will share one important trick of the trade NEVER EVER bet Suns under or N Carolina unders. It is with 100% certainty there is a better play on the board. Love MJ plays and usually on board but this one went against the rules. One more, Syracuse bb on the road. Never back the orange on the road."

What certain things will you just not bet?

Mine is I stay the hell off Georgia men's basketball.

Dont bet the under is a Warriors home game.

 

[5teamparlay]

Never bet against any BIG TEN basketball team AT HOME, in a conference game.

I will never bet against my friends regardless of the event or stakes involved. There are enough bookies around to bet with so that you do not have to take your friend's money or him yours when it comes to gambling.

A firm rule I have lived by for around 40 years.

And I agree, I was a 200 average bowler back in the day when 200 meant something, we used to bowl for pots and such, but I'd never bowl heads up against friends.

What's your take on friendly poker games?
Do you play your buddies in poker?

I won't bet on any Big 10 team playing USC in the Rose Bowl. I've finally learned my lesson.

I won't bet on any Dave Wannstadt coached team when made a favorite. I don't care who their opponent is.

Betting the Under on the Chicago Bears playing at home usually isn't a good idea.

Betting the favorite in the Kentucky Derby usually isn't a good play.

Lately betting OU and Ohio State in BCS bowls aren't a good idea.

I don't bet my freinds head to head on the golf course. Especially since i would more than likely lose anyway.

I won't bet against Tiger Woods winning the 2009 Masters even though he's been away from the game for a year.

 

[bookie]

I have stopped betting during a game.

No half-time bets...no props...nothing. I make my bet before the game and that's it. I live with the consequence so I don't needlesly chase.

:lol: why? wouldn't you think if you live in europe you have a better feel of the game? injuries, weather etc?

 

[Willie99]

For the rest of the 08/09 CBB season, I cannot bet on Cuse or OK State games, they're both fucking with me.

Also have to stay away from the Vikings.

I've been betting Suns 2nd half totals for the last 5 years and this used to be true about not betting an under until Terry Porter became their coach. Lots of unders this year until Porter got fired.

Now they are a bunch of greyhounds again. I wonder how long it will be until Shaq gets tired out. Or maybe they will just play 4 on 5 on offense and leave Shaq to defend against break aways by the other team.

No friendly poker for me, I like to play games like Pitch, Pinochle, Eucher, Hearts, Spades, Tonk, Cribbage, Casino and even (usually in mixed company) Uno.

I am actually a decent Hearts player with a penchant for trying to run Hearts to much however. Pitch (High/Low/Jack/and the Game) is another favorite.


Sorry no bridge (never learned).

As a kid we summered in Ocean city Md. and spent many a summer playing pitch.
