[QUOTE="Spurhunter, post: 5274173, member: 5695"] You do remember who it was, and nobody was trying to "shame" you. And I had no idea talking about your betting strategy would hurt your feelings so badly that you couldn't get past it. But, if you are going to bring it up, yet again, include everything I said. Don't cherry pick the part you want to make you right. Here's what I said: [I]When I see an alabama fan consistently bet on alabama, and against Auburn and Tennessee, my first thought is he is betting with his heart and not his head. I never bet on a Tennessee game (unless it's a friendly $20 bet with a friend). I looked back at your bets you've posted since the beginning of season and couldn't find one time you bet against alabama or on Tennessee or Auburn. Yet you bet on alabama and against Tennessee and Auburn multiple times. Coincidence? Maybe, but it's easy to be influenced by your likes/dislikes.[/I] And I stand by what I said. I can assure you sportsbooks LOVE people that bet on their favorite team, regardless of whether it's a good bet or not. They make $Millions$ off these people. I've seen a lot of ways to handicap games, but I don't think "I like Team X so I'll bet on them, and I hate Team Y so I'll bet against them " is a sound strategy. [/QUOTE]
