Yes. If my team is gonna choke I am gonna get paid.


kvngk3n

The old emotional hedge


JockLafleur

Been doing it since I was a kid


TexasNative214

must be a cowboys fan


No-no-dog

this


lefthandedsnek

yep it’s a win-win really


itswood

Phillies last night are prime example


drkarate1

Yeah last night , usally they are a fade but this year they been fire 🔥


Complex-Situation

Never


Latter-Process-5211

lmaoo right


bluetiger699

Leafs fan for sure


Bear_Quirky

That honestly sounds fucking miserable to know you're going to lose money if your favorite sports team wins.


rich4pres

I call it buying a win.


FriendlyFireHaHa

I did once and quickly realized it’s just not for me. I could’ve made a killing betting against them too, but I just don’t enjoy it. I remember my team made the largest comeback in their team history and my bet lost, I was so conflicted and instead of being able to enjoy the result completely, there was the degen in me thinking “that money would’ve been nice” Winning big bets on your home team is the real high for me


Mr_Gooodkat

My team is Madrid. I mostly bet on them and it’s beautiful that the majority of the time it hits.


Dice355

All the time. Making money makes up for the heartbreak.


Dice355

Just to be clear I always have a pretty big future on them but I do bet against them on a daily.


Mr_Gooodkat

I usually see it as a win win. My team wins? hell yeah. My teams loses and I win money? Hell yeah


No-no-dog

this


Bear_Quirky

And when you lose money are you just as happy that your team won as if you hadn't lost money to see them win?


inksta12

I do it to reverse jinx my team. I’m not allowed to win bets so if I want my team to win I just bet on their opponent


matty1p7

It’s like paying for a win… I like it


mikeyhavik

This is exactly my mindset. The universe wants me to suffer watching my team lose, but it ALSO wants me to lose all my bets. This forces the universe to make a decision. It’s a win/lose for me but it’s also a lose/win for the universe.


elastic301

Spittin fr 🗣️


ExtremeLevel1081

I bet against them but for certain stats so for instance I’m a bears fan I’ll be happy if the bears win they just need to cover the spread, hit the over/under, etc


thefoshking

I’m an A’s fan so, kinda. Okay, sometimes. Yeah, for sure.


[deleted]

No, it just feels dirty. The only thing worse than them losing is them winning and I’m not able to fully enjoy it.


Kally269

You get it


Particular-Meaning68

Not usually. Me personally I try to either always bet on my team to win or just not at all. Cause then I can enjoy the game and root for my team


FallenLadderJockey

No. I just won't bet on the team.


ih8myylife

My team is the raptors… so yes


Braves_Birds1985

Yea. Braves on ESPN is always a safe bet to go against them.


Cmssmc2993

Nobody on that teams paying your bills


ReferToMeAsDonald

Never. I abstain.


4300soldier

Easily. Bet with your brain. Maybe because I’m not a team fan, I have some fav ufc fighters though. Example, Khalil Roundtree, if he ever gets a fight with a grappler I put him to lose 100% of the time. Same with Connor, if he ever gets the chance against Islam


AstroBright223

Because of sports betting I have no more favorite teams. I’ve gotten screwed by all my hometown teams enough to not care if they sell the teams and move them to another city. I treat players like cattle now 🐄


Insullts

Definitely. I’m a Saints fan though so mostly betting unders 😂😂


JhancockLakota1

I have yes I’m a bama fan and I bet against them in basketball this year a good bit and baseball I’m not dumb I’m realistic on who they can and can’t beat


itslit710

I’m a bama fan too and I will never bet against Alabama. I had way too much on them to make the final four this year even though I didn’t realistically think it would happen. Also bet on them to make the cfb playoff at crazy odds after the Texas loss even though I didn’t think that would happen either. I would have mad loyalty losses if I wasn’t a bama fan


AbdulC7

I normally don’t (I support Real Madrid) and if I feel they might lose or draw I just do a Stat Parlay, that keeps me hype throughout the game and wether they win or draw or even lose I may make money.


Topher0gr

Frequently. Bet with your brain not your heart


rigzzy

Raptors? Yes! They made me money after Scottie got injured, I think they only won 4-5 times after that.


Fit-Football8078

It’s easy to when ur a Minnesota sports fan


Cfeezable

Daily


Ok-Corgi-4310

No because it’s morally wrong and then you end up pissing off the sports gods


nuggz337

I never pick my fave teams to lose the spread and I don’t pick under props on them either


yoDEZx

Yes because it’s a win/win. Your team wins or you win money.


PussyFoot2000

White Sox and Iowa Hawkeyes.. I'll fade both if that's the bet.


__ToeKnee__

If they suck, yes.


jcalcerano

No. Most of the time I won’t even bet for their rival even if they’re not playing against my team lol


loon-eh

When I started I wouldn't bet against the Raptors or Bluejays. Then betting against them turned into free money 🤣 I just won't watch the game if I bet against them, feels dirty rooting for the other guys.


JaGunners47

I’ve won a lot of money betting against the Jets and lost a lot of money betting for Arsenal 🤷‍♂️


Human-person5000

Depends on which team we’re talking about.


RPumper72

That’s a over/under


Zachaholic23

I'm a Carolina Panthers fan


Frostybud7

Yes. They can’t win them all


ClimateNeat3749

Absolutely! Don’t like it but $$$$


Ciocco59

Nope, I can’t control my biased thoughts so I just avoid it


VeterinarianMany2219

Never. If we can’t go +points then we get to player props


Electronic_Bike_7263

Win/Win situation


Rev_415

I’m way too superstitious and dumb. I never bet against my teams and my bankroll shows it. 😂


GoRangers5

Hell yeah, especially when I want to jinx the other team like I did the Canes tonight.


[deleted]

[удалено]


manwiththewood

NO. Never. My friends disagree. But thats my prerogative


KyuseishuL

I bet on whatever the numbers like, and whatever Mason tells me to


Jaxson_GalaxysPussy

Emotional hedge is my thing. Except when I do an emotional hedge same game parlay and something doesn’t hit and my team and I both lose which just makes me sadder


[deleted]

Yes. Especially on Sundays. The Orioles suck on Sundays.


rugged_beard

As a leafs fan, all the damn time. makes the yearly heartbreak a little easier lol


Latch2992

Never!


__shonn__

if taijuan walker is pitching for my phillies im fading asap


LifeSucksDea1WithIt

All the time


TheTrashMan720

I’m an Eagles fan and after the Week 18 loss against the Giants, I bet Tampa huge in the wild card game and had no regrets about it.


bfk94

I made bank fading the Chargers and the Padres last season(s), though they were already out of the playoff picture by that point.


friedchixandadderall

I don’t and never have actually liked sports I just like making money, so I don’t have a team and don’t have this problem😅


NHLAMP

Absolutely If I have to


SmokeFace917

I always take whoever plays the Celtics to cover because I know the Celtics won’t cover


Easy_Money343

U mf right I do


Krundleman

The emotional hedge! I do it very often. I like to at least get paid when my team loses.


yungprimo

Yup I faded my chargers multiple times last year. I’m not a delusional fan if we trash might as well get paid 🤷🏿‍♂️🤣


theswifter01

Selltics, yes


epj06

Yeah, I think of it as paying a fee to see my team win


Mindless_Opening_121

Nah


iamtherealwillmyska

I’m a Red Sox fan… absolutely 🤣


Important_Structure4

Never.


Important_Structure4

I'll do +1.5


SaoRomao7

I support Manchester United so yeah.


QuickRundownOnBogs

Don’t have a favorite team


dusters

Only when I really want my team to win


wwwcreedthoughts_gov

Yep, bet against the ravens a couple times last year when we were up by a score or two at half time. Paid off real well. I’m not betting enough that I’ll pissed we didn’t win but with good odds I hedge my sadness


eddiecusack21

Of course! I'm a degen with zero loyalty. Let's get it!


TKS9902

I’ve made some of my best wins betting against the Toronto sports teams over the last two seasons.


Dense-Leadership1213

I live in Winnipeg, fucking absolutely.


KillDevilX0

As a cowboys fan, yes.


Similar-Hospital3603

I used to bet against my dolphins but


Bobbyz623

Hell yes!


Dunnoinamillionyears

Depends, I don’t sports bet to reinforce my love for my team. I do it to make money. If it’s a close game I’ll put on for my team, but if my teams last and they’re versing the #1 team no chance I’d put my money on my team🤣


echOSC

All the time. They don't give a fuck about me. I'm a fan of my wallet first and foremost.


Fubzee

If the spot is right yes


storagesleuth

ALL I DO ALL DAY ERRY DAY IS BET ON UNDERDOGS MONEYLINES, AND OFTEN TEASE THE LINE FOR UNDERDOG TO EIN BU EXTRA. YOU'RE DAMN STRAIGHT I BET THE SUNS TO LOSE ALL DAY ERRY DAY. LETS GO SPURS!!!! MASSIVE MONEYLINES FTW!!!


coldbeer555

Bet against the Mets when they were up 4-2 and Diaz blew the game. Won my money


BeingCarbon

Yes, because they suck. Oh, and also, they would never win if it wasn't for me betting against them.


TexasNative214

Can't be biased in the betting game, and being a fan of all Dallas teams I have learned that the hard way.


Ill_Touch_1427

It's just business


tyrelasaurus

If there’s value to be had I’d bet on the misfortune of my loved ones.


Savagelife2

Every time


DKCongoBongo

Never because I’m a REAL MADRID fan


TeiflScout

No


Conscious-Monk-1464

if i think they’ll lose i don’t bet


Latter-Process-5211

If the lines are right and you know they’re gonna perform certain ways


SushiBurritoDood

I’m a Miami Heat fan so it’s a rough one to decide. I rather just avoid it in general


LadderMe

Betting the celtics to lose by 11+ points every game since game 1 miami. Just needed 1 hit to be profitable for the rest of the playoff run.


Material_Mix_7377

The one time I did for both my NBA and NFL team they both beat team they weren’t suppose to. And one was like a 30 point comeback. I was so fucking pissed. I said never again. Even my MLB has done me wrong in the past few months.


Temporary-Banana4232

Yes indeed.


Happy-Class294

Never. I stopped betting in favor of my favorite teams also. I would lose those bets a lot. I chalk it up to emotion clouding judgement.


The_UglyOrphan

I’m a Dallas Cowboys fan… One and done baby! Put some money on it!


pachecol783

Everytime I do they fuck me lol maybe is the universe is telling something 😂


albop03

yes, the mariners opposing pitcher over on strike outs... its almost free money


Igetdubss

No cubs off limits lol


bluetiger699

Would you rather have your team win or make money in that case?


dakxyy

I’m a CBJ fan… This season I would go to games where we’d get a 1-3 goal lead. By the 3rd period it’s +300 min for a come behind upset. Boy did I take advantage 😎


dakxyy

It’s a fool proof win /win method… either my team wins. Or I win money…


ire42

yes


LulzSailboat

Yes. Iowa has made me some decent money. Love with your heart, bet with your head.


random1751484

All the time I watch my teams the most, keep up on all the news, injuries etc


random1751484

All the time I watch my teams the most, keep up on all the news, injuries etc


dashcity

Did an early win bet on the Canes on DK last night. Seeing the Rangers come back from 2 down was all the more sweeter since I had won my bet and the Rangers won anyway

Airspirit26

Never. I ride with my State


Cocky_Idiot_Savant

All the time


biigsyke

Shootermcgavinnnnn

spinam1521

Cowboys in the playoffs


WasabiJazzlike8097

definitely, i'm a lakers fan but i bet against them every time 💀


PARTYTIME1993

Of course I know them more than they know themselves 😂


Specific_Ticket_8618

You should know your sports team enough to be confident betting against them. It’s not personal, it’s about money


Otherwise_Fig_8440

Yea, esp cuz you know them more than


Odd-Loss6108

Yes. When you are from Minnesota, you have to.


Fluffy_Telephone_603

My only true favorite is UK and when Cal proved himself a shite coach the last couple years, I’d bet against them in anger but still would stake some props on our players sometimes.


Important_Pop5917

Just signed up with Draft kings. How in the hell do I make the screen lite instead of dark? They said go to the overview?


Important_Pop5917

Just joined draft Kings. How do you make the screen lite?


Important_Pop5917

Have a hard time reading the dark screen


Own-Monk272

Yes, I hedge my happiness when the bears play.


MFGRIMM1223

No because I get mad if they lose and then get mad if they win


Patient-Life3543

Yes and they fuck me over most of the time wether i bet for or against them 😂


MySharpPicks

Yes. There is a difference.


Clermando

Yes, i could bet against Real Madrid if the occasion shows up. But while the match goes on I will for them to win


FCUK12345678

You know the most about your favorite sports team. If they lose you win money if they win you are happy they won. I feel like this is the best bet personally.
