Damn and you call yourself a fan...

Knew you wouldn't bet against a sure thing.

Going to have to get Tim to permanently change your avatar.

A spread makes the bet fair... The spread is only 5 sally

[ikethegreat]

How does that make it fair?  The pats are 3 point favorites.

[Mike]

Thats not what i'm seeing.

[ikethegreat]

Either be a man and take the bet or don't.

[Mike]

Even a bookie plays by the spread you are trying to trash talk me into an unfair wager. I'm not stupid, I'm a fan of my team not an idiot. I'll tell you one thing for sure I'd take either team against the Ravens.

I bet yout he Giants will tie with a 0-0 score this week...LOL, and that we probably won't make the playoffs unless we win our next 3 home games (Atl, Dallas, Philly)

That's going to be a tough run man... Good luck with that.

Neither of us are fucking bookies, so how is that relevant?  I don't understand how betting on the WINNER of a game is unfair....  Either you think your team is going to win or they are going to lose.  You just want a safety net because you know the Pats are going to lose.  

I understand, if I were you, I wouldn't take the bet either because it doesn't take a genius to know the Pats will lose.

Oh and btw, the Pats are the 5 point favorite to win, so if anything, you should be giving ME 5 points.

"The point spread for the New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts is currently favoring the Patriots -5 points at Bookmaker. "

[Mike]

I bet the game last night with the Colts giving 3.5 but thats beside the point. The undefeted home team is the underdog give me a break. It's obvious at this point that your not willing to back up your initial statement so I'll just let this one go.

[ikethegreat]

I'm more then willing to back up my statement.  You're the one who won't agree to the bet.  I don't with the whole point spread bullshit, all that matters is the W.

[Mike]

Sorry Mike but your Pats are going to get destroyed this week.  This game will probably be better then this year's Superbowl.

The word in red is what caused the bet discussion. The bet would be that the Colts destroy the Pats, not get the W. You did not say the Colts are going to get the W You said they would destroy the Pats. If you don't want to back up your statement I understand. I also suggest showing some respect to the team that started the decline of your season. I'm getting the impressiont that your just a hater man! Is this true?

[ikethegreat]

I don't understand how you think you can assign a number value to the word "destroy"?  

I realize while you might be a Pats fan, you also realize that they stand no chance of winning, hence you trying to make a one sided bet with me with all the point spread crap.  It's okay, I get it! You have no confidence in your team.  Once again, I don't blame you!

News flash!!!  The NFL operates on WINS, not who covered the spread!
