Go Seahawks.  We better win it this season while all of our beasts are still on rookie contracts.
Hopefully they keep home field, otherwise, they'll choke on the road.
Like in the Superbowl. Where it will be snowing. And Tom Brady will get that fourth ring. And be the GOAT. Fuck Joe Montana.

Out of curiosity, his bet seemed to be based off exactly what you said, what is unfair about it?
The expected value of the gamble was below 0. EV(g)<0

Betting against me always has that value.  Ask Sean.
So you don't offer fair bets? Got it.
You don't think I'm going to post here sober, do you?  ???

I have embraced my Benny Franko side. I'm sleazy.

Do you have any evidence that it will snow?  Also, Joe is 4-0 in Superbowls.  Something Tom will never, ever be able to claim.  He also won't win a 4th so it doesn't matter.

That is fairly accurate.  It isn't fair that I always win.

Eh, I don't really buy into the 'hawks can't win on the road' thing.  They're undeniably better at home (more like 13th man amirite?!?!?!), but I'm loving everything I see from this team.  They're just young.
I have visited from prestigious research institutions of the highest caliber, to which only our administrator holds with confidence.

Making it to six Superbowls and winning 4 would be more impressive than making it to four Superbowls and winning four. Same wins, two more appearances.

That is fairly accurate.  It isn't fair that I always win.
So, to clarify, you throw out shitty bets and hope morons (No offense Sean) take them.

I rarely bet against other people.  I usually give favorable terms to entice a bet because I am better at betting than most.

Montana was Super Bowl MVP 3 times. He was super fucking clutch. The 5, possibly 6 Super Bowl appearances is pretty spectacular. Tom has won with less than Joe too. I think if Tom wins a 4th ring I would put him every so slightly ahead of Joe.

He had a superstar team that went 18-0, broke records, and choked when it mattered the most.  I like Tom, but that is inexcusable.

He did not play great but if it were not for one ridiculously lucky play by Eli and an equally stupid catch, the Pats win that game.

The SEC doesn't play defense.  What an overrated joke.  500 rushing yards by 1 team through 3 quarters.  Embarrassing.

Yeah, they got the momentum going at the end of the 2nd.  Nothing is going to stop this boulder from rolling now.
