Is it possible that the Panthers came in to the game overconfident? I mean they are getting beat soundly in every phase of the game.

The Panthers are Not Good.

They played NYG, who is not only Not Good but also had a shit game. And they played the Bears, who also decided not to show up.

Playing a pretty decent Seattle team who actually showed up to the game...not surprised at all.

It's funny. I had no particular teams I cheered for whatsoever nor have I really rooted for anyone. This thread and the previous thread has made me minimally rooting for the Seahawks.

And the worse part is I really do feel bad for the Panther fans who have been with them the whole year. This is a hell of way to end the season.

Mistake. of. the. Century.

You nailed Pitt. Denver lost the game for a variety of reasons, one of them being Pittsburgh is just on fire.

Oh well. I look forward to reading your "I still think Seattle is overrated, I'm going with the Steelers" Super Bowl thread.

Overrated? Only if you're a fool with money.

As someone has mentioned before, do we get another thread like this in two weeks?

Well, I think you mean two weeks. And atleast you didn't say over-rated. Saying the Hawks are over-rated was always my problem with your posts. You are not the only guy who thought they would lose today.

Just winnings from the season.

For some reason, I still can't convince myself that Seattle is that good. Even after losing 1100ish dollars today and who knows how much last week. Think 500 or so.

Oh well, that is why they call it gambling. Seattle played a real nice game today.

Ah well, atleast astrofan isn't still trying to convince us that the Panthers would have won if they had more time or something.

Better luck nexttime man.

It would of only gotten worse.

Panthers were outplayed, outcoached and looked out of their league.

They won the NFC West, 13/14 games during the regular season, won the NFC title game, and one game from the NFL title. What more do they need to do?

I think in Hold em terms, this is considered going on tilt.

You have two weeks. If I were going to bet money, I'd check everything I could and make sure I was calm and collected before I did it.

If you still think the Hawks are going to get their asses kicked, by all means go with the Steelers. You won't be the only one.

I do urge you to be careful. Remember, some people kept betting against NE because they didn't think they were "that good" and would lose to playoff competition. They lost a ton of money.

If you still have any profits left, take the wife out to a nice Valentine's day dinner and roll the leftover money into next year. There are going to be much, much easier games to pick next season. I wouldn't touch this Super Bowl with a ten foot pole.

I would have only gambled on one of the games today. (the Seahawks)

I cashed out after I hit big last week $2000. I left myself 800 bucks to bet with for the Conference games. I won Pitt and rolled all my money over to Carolina. Why did I do that? Because I'm a dumbass. Should of just bet half, like I normally do. I think I was trying to show off :o

When next year comes, I'll do my normal deposit to start the year.

I'm down to 50 bucks now and I think I'm just going to put that on TEAM USA to win the world cup of soccer. If we win, long shot - we get 3000ish dollars for 50 bet hehe.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GO HAWKS!

Sorry, had to do it now just in case the Superbowl goes ugly for us. I'm so happy for this team right now and really hope this defense continues it's performance. The offense gets the glory but damn have those boys on defense really taken care of their business in the playoffs.

Or you could give it to me and take the odds that I might repay you 60-fold at some point in the future.

Now, that is truly a waste of money. You have a better chance putting it on the Jets to win the SB next year.

As obvious as I thought. Astro, let's talk. I'm good at picking games (9 of 10 straight up this year in the playoffs, including 6 underdogs and picked Seattle/Pitt at the start of the playoffs), but no good at betting (i.e. hate the risk). Let's say I had bet a $100 on each of those games, do you have any idea what I would have been ahead? Just curious.

As for the SB, I'm still mulling it over.

Thanks for the love and support.

Make fun of me, I deserve it. But, in the end I still ended up +2500 bucks for the season .

Congrats to the Seahawks fans out there. You guys deserved it!
