Oldschool Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I don't want to give the impression that this board or I condone betting in any way, but how much personally does everyone have riding on this game? I bet a "bag of popcorn" this morning to some bloomin' idiot at work, he gave me 10 points. I wanted to bet when I was in Vegas, but they only had the lines on the games out one week before the games, and I was there mid-August. If I were there, I would bet $50-$100 on Nebraska regardless of the points. We're expected to lose, so I'm willing to bet that we are going to do better than the so-called "experts". Just trying to gague the level of belief in us Husker fans. Quote Link to comment

Just trying to gague the level of belief in us Husker fans. This may be sacreligious on this board but I like to bet against the huskers when they are the underdogs (especially this weekend). That way if they lose by a lot I win money and if they play well I lose money but I'm happy that they played well. Quote Link to comment

808Husker in KCMO Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Cant bet on Husker Games. I also dont put KC Chiefs players on my Fantasy Roster. Can't let my heart get in the way of my head and thats what happens in those situations. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 My bet is if we lose I have to wear a Tommy Trojan uniform to work on Monday, just like I did last year. I did not enjoy it last year and I sure hope I do not have to this year. Wearing a skirt is not my idea of a good deal. I never wager money on anything. Just my pride I guess. Quote Link to comment

adc7236 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 The only game I ever bet on is the NU vs CU game. I having a standing bet with my buddy who is a CU alum.....we attend the game almost every year....the loser has to put on the opposing teams jersey on and have a picture taken with the score board in the background. The loser must then display the picture on his office wall until the following years game. Quote Link to comment

thebitjockey Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I bet on RED 4 times in Vegas. 2 Times on RED (Roulette Wheel) and lost. 2 Times on Husker Red in the sports book, and WON! I would definitely bet on Nebraska this weekend were I in Vegas Quote Link to comment

WELL I DONT THINK THAT THEY ARE RIGHT ALL THAT MUCH BUT THEY DID EXPECT US TO WIN AGAINST WAKE BY JUST A SMALL MARGIN. I BELIEVE THE BOOKIES MORE THAN A SPORTS ANALYST. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I used to bet Sexual favors with whatever Nebraska girl I was dating at the time (So I was forced to take the opposing teams w/o the points). Then I married a girl from Ohio and stopped having sex. Quote Link to comment
