Week 1 vs Washington

[dolphins4life]

I put $10 on Miami (-3) to beat Washington.  I feel like the game shouldn't even be competitive.

So that means you lose your money if the Dolphins win by three or less?

^ Pretty much.  If they win by 3, it's a push and nobody wins.  But if the win by 2, 1, or lose, I lose my bet.

So if the Dolphins are down by 2.  1 and goal from the 8.  Washington has no TO, Mia has three.  45 seconds on the clock. 

And then rather than attempting a TD, MIA takes 2 knees and two TOs than kicks a field goal.  Will you be screaming at the TV, "what the eff are you doing go for the TD", or will you cheer for the FG?

FYI, I never bet with points on (or against) my favorite teams. Your heart and head don't work the same way sometimes. In college we were fairly active betters and I never would consider "my" teams.

Anyone going to the game?  Got tix the other nite for me and my boy.  I live in Central PA about 3 hrs from WAS.  Looking forward to the game and seeing the start of this team, with a revamped DEF and Tannehill improving over the last 3 yrs.

Whenever I bet, my fandom for the Dolphins is always first.  I only bet amounts (like $10), where I'm not going to be in a position to be upset about the outcome.

So, just win.  Past that, my $10 doesn't matter.

Is this legal?

Is this legal?

Yes...well...kinda.  The casinos don't exist in the US, so you're operating outside of US law.

Sorry if this is only semi-related, but did you guys see where the wife of the Redskins GM made a really bad post on social media about a female reporter.  Geez, that entire franchise has just been a trainwreck ever since Snyder took them over.

Saw it, but in general I consider those types of stories to be irrelevant.   I don't consider the behavior of the wife of the GM of the Redskins to be a reflection on the Redskins.  Nor do I consider Belichick son smoking weed to be a reflection on the NEP.  If the GM of the Redskins had tweeted that, then I would say it was an issue. 

[Dolphster]

Oh, I agree with ya Hoodie.  It really is irrelevant.  It just gave me a chuckle because it seems like everything associated with that team ends up being a mess.

Fortunately for the Redskins the story has run its course.  Nobody is going to give that story time  over debating the judge's ruling in the Brady case.

Brice McCain won the starting CB spot it was announce today. He will start over Jamar Taylor opposite Grimes. Taylor's injury probably played a factor in this as he missed some time. In a month I wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor starting.
