Not that I won't do it but I have an aversion to watering down my payout buying points when I am playing with the man's money. Outside of the true degenerates (no fnord not that kind of degenerate) I think most of us have our 'this far and no further' conservative inclinations, they're just different. Mine tend to show themselves in my game selection, if I don't at the very least really like a game I don't bet. I don't require action every game day, never mind every time block. Some weeks may see me with only one and possibly none plays, while others might see me make half a dozen plays. On the flip side, I am far more aggressive when playing with house money, a really good 1:00 window will have often have me looking at the late games with a different eye. Who am I to ignore a warm streak and irritate the gaming gods when they are smiling at me?
As for buying the half on the Seahags bet, my feeling was the Hawks could easily have stolen that one outright thanks to Dallas' tendency to leave the game on the field waiting for a decent opponent to take it and at most the cowgirls weren't going to win by more than a point or 2. If I like the dog that much and have little to no faith in the fave why should I give the man a break by watering down my payout? OFC, truth be told, that attitude is easier to come by when your laying down found money and if I were having a down year I might have bought the half.
I usually stay away from gambling threads on boards because they tend to collect clowns who come in after a game ends to tell you how brilliant they were but aren't here beforehand telling you what the play was ahead of time and why they made it. I've enjoyed this one and wish I'd clicked on it and started participating sooner.
