Side bets with posters? Do you do them?

[flyingillini]

I always get destroyed when I bet Landers, he gets me week in week out, yesterday was my redemption day. I hammered him into an oblivion. I went 3-1 but his record against me is stellar. I just feel I need to let some steam off and be happy for a day and gloat. I always lose against him, I love Zelle betting!

I only bet with friends on the forums, which I can count on one hand and have done so for years. Not random posters by any means.

My Theory

No reason to take each other's money when you can place the same wager(s) at a sports book and take theirs

 

[fiftycint]

UM....NO Bad idea

 

[Tanko]

Never for money but I've bet posters for other things.....
Before you get any ideas Flyingillini. It was a nice restaurant dinner at Ruth's Chris steakhouse.

I agree but I like to bet with my friend posters, it makes it fun and our egos get involved, we walk around with pride the next day when we win.

There have literally been documented cases of this occurring.
Its tough to do it when you don't personally know someone outside the intraweb.

This is crazy wrong though.

If you bet one side, and someone bets the other, the winner simply takes the other's money, except the book takes a commission.

It might be the "same wager" but when place at a book you are just shorting your payout.

Hope that makes sense. It's not us against the book, it's us against each other and the book just facilitates the action.
