Don't touch that button.

Sounds like he bet against them?

I dont think any of us are more hardcore than any other of us. Its obvious how much passion we have for this team, by how much we talk about them. I wouldnt call myself more of a fan than anyone else, I'm a diehard and I know it. I'm pretty sure almost everyone else here is too.

Question someone's hardcore-ness on this board and you might as well duck and watch the bullets fly, LOL

I think I speak for everyone on this site when I say I hope Saden doesn't get his $1000

I don't think I could ever bring myself to bet against the Skins, too many mixed emotions would be going on there. Same reason why I find it hard to start fantasy players against the Redskins....of course, I'll be starting Favre against the Skins

Me too (Favre vs. Skins). But I originally had the Cowboys D and dropped them, just because I couldn't bring myself to play them or root for them to do well against anyone...

so you wouldn't take money to watch them lose, but you'd like to see them lose for free??

umm.... uhh... yeah, you're real hard core man... whatever.

who are you talking about? are you talking about saden or someone else?

Sorry folks but gambling is not something to be done with one's heart. Gambling is done with one's brain. So if betting against the Skins makes monetary sense, I'll do it in a heartbeat. But iof it makes no sense, I'll pass on the game.

There's gambling and there's investing. When you find a rabid fan of any team, you can wager with him/her on games involving the "favorite team" and make significant money over the long run. Reason is, they will bet with their hearts.

Back in the early 60s, the Packers were dominant under Lombardi and the Philly Eagles were doormats. (They had already traded Jurgensen here and couldn't get out of their own way.) A classmate of mine in college was convinced that his darling Eagles were going to cream the Packers in a game. The Vegas line was Packers - 13.5. If you don't follow NFL betting lines, that is a HUGE number! My classmate while perfectly sober got so into his reasoning about how the Eagles would clobber the Packers that he wound up betting me $20 (big money for college students in the 60's when draft beers were 25 cents every day of the week) and he gave me the Packlers PLUS 10 points. I don't care who you root for or against, that's a bet you have to take.

Final score: Packers" 49 Eagles: Zero

Betting for or against any team and rooting for or against any team are different things. It isn't all that hard to do both and keep them separate...

saden, he asked whether we'd take money to watch the skins lose, but meanwhile states that he wants them to lose for free...

maybe he's just drunk...

Where in god's name did I say that? Which one of us is drunk? Do me a favor and quote the post where I state what you have just said.

FYI I don't drink alcohol.
