So the Ravens covered the spread but failed to win the game. It's almost like the oddsmakers know what they're doing.

Yes technically your right and yes it all bigass money same as a casino imo ...is why I try to pick straight up...is w or l...simple man bet...I lost ....oh well new england played goodass game

All too often

I'm not sure that I follow, but if you had taken the quote-unquote correct bet -- the bet that was actually being offered by casinos and bookies across the country -- you would have won.

Totally understand that...I think spread was 7 or 9 for new england....so again totallt get it they only won by 4...my take is illini offered 2 for one on smokes and is just preference to me to bet straight up....the thing you said of bookies etc with point spread hell yes I think theymake out like bandits as in today you more so bet the points not the team.....anyways im good with game it was great just like ravens to have won

Oh, my mistake...I guess I didn't read the thread carefully enough. I thought there was a straight-up bet (5 smokes for 5 smokes) on the game.

It's none of my business either way, so I'll show myself out.

No offense on my part the spread seem to favor thee bookies...I dont bet much so I just stay simple. W_l......thats all plus he offered the 2_1 bet....I thought ravens had it but again still great game....

Oh and it takes a bit to understand my english....so don't feel bad...lol

actually, Charlie, your English is easy to understand. It's that other stuff that's confusing...j/k.

You really are very funny, bud.

WOW! Buddha Daddy knows how to "pay up" on the losing end of a "friendly" wager!

He sent:

Trini Reyes......nh
RASS.............one of the all time best cigars IMHO!
Sanch Panza Dble Maddie Robie...haven't enjoyed these in some time.

Torano Colosseum Robie.......nh
Cusano 59 Rare Cameroon Robie......I enjoy these alot!
R.P. Edge Robie.......one of my daily faves........
Perdomo Grand Cru pre 2006 blend......... and another one of my every day faves....
Guerra Havana Bay..........nh. This is a beautiful looking cigar w/ pig tail cap.
Berger & Arginti Entubar churchill......nh eventhough I enjoy a lot of Kiki Bergers blends....

When I receive boxes of cigars in the cooler and hotter months I like to let the box "temper" before opening. While
the box was "tempering" one of my dogs was hovering around the box. Well, my puppy was hovering due to the
bag full of some of the best smelling coffee beans you will ever smell.

Thanks, Doug! This is way over the top especially for something almost everybody else was whining about.

Can't wait to taste the coffee this weekend and will enjoy every one of these cigars.

I feel like I owe you now...:-k :-"

WTF, makes me feel bad about sending him all those Gurkhas and Victor Sinclairs in our bet...

Seriously though, if I win the next one, no need to go overkill :P

What makes you think you stand a chance? 😁

Cause the Pats always have an ace up their sleeve!

My only hope is that it is a good game! Win or lose it will make it more fun to watch while calling you names!

Come on Uncle Pete!

Yes, I'm hoping for a good game too Grandpa Gump.
