caveman Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I didn't make it to Vegas before the Philly game and wasn't able to place the Super Bowl winner bet with the sportsbook (I'm nervous about betting on off-shore sites). The initial odds on Atlanta were 40 to 1 ...... after the Philly game, the odds dropped all the way to 30 to 1. I was going to bet 2 thousand to win a miracle $80,000 - I felt like I had lost 20 grand right off the bat. Then, after the NY game, the odds continued to drop to around 25 to 1. I felt it would be fun to make the 40 to 1 bet, but with it dropping so low I'm not so motivated. Even though I knew it would take a miracle for the Falcons to win a title this year, it seemed like the stars were aligning to give us a better chance ..... including: 1. The schedule - our division is weak, and making the playoffs is half the battle. Our 2 non-common opponents are not elite (S.F. and Minn.). 2. The injuries seem to be falling our way so far - including this week with Romo and Dez. 3. They 'really' made an effort to upgrade the Oline. This unit should get better as the season goes on. 4. We still have some holes, but our overall depth seems better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moist Words Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 It was a weird thread to begin with but I think yall are missing what he was saying. I know for a fact that some of you are because he's (sarcastically I think)implying we're going to win the Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caveman Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 My local BK will pay 5 or 10 no sweat, but 80 gets more complicated. He doesn't take high odds bets to begin with, and it could be hard to lay 80 quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caveman Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Naturally, I would have written-off the 2 grand immediately as entertainment dollars - god knows I've lost more than that several times in a casino in one night. I just thought that it would be fun to have a miracle bet that would stay alive as long as the Falcons aren't eliminated from playoff contention. Lighten up - lot better odds than the lottery ... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiaboy04 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 When I was Vegas back in March I dropped $20 on the Falcons to win it all. Did not win anything while there so I'm hoping to win that $860. Let's go Falcons continue to get better week by week!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiaboy04 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I made the mistake after the 12' season of dropping 5 large on the Falcons to win it all in 13'Wow that's a pretty penny. Yeah that was such a bad season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamPlayer1 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 We were meeting friends at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and my wife said she was taking 5k to gamble with.
