OT: Cowboys

[TxRdKiller]

What are the odds?

No odds. Cowboys fans are true believers.

Let me be clear on this: I am betting that the Cowboys do NOT win the Super Bowl. Doesn't matter if they even make it to the game. They win it or they don't and I'm betting that they don't. Anyone taking my bet is betting that the Cowboys will win the Super Bowl.

I'll take 1 bet or up to 10. Minimum $100, max $1000. No odds.

Regardless of being a true believer, why would anyone take that bet when they can get 8.5 to 1 in Vegas? Why only make 100 or 1000 when they can make 850 or 8500?

I suppose you can ask whomever takes my bet if anyone should. Even odds. Cowboys win the Super Bowl or they don't. I have $1000 that says they don't.

Not even odds..there are 7 other teams left.

In converting those odds to real percentages, Vegas believes Dallas only has a 10.5 percent chance of winning the Super Bowl, and conversely 89.47% chance of losing.

So, in response to TXRdKiller, one should ask if he is willing to put up 1000 to make 100 on Dallas not winning the Super Bowl. These are the odds that Vegas is posting in some of the books.

I’m out, don’t want to risk 1k. If I did, a betting site would return 8500 on that 1k. It would be pretty stupid to place that bet with you.

No need to ask. I've already said no. I'm simply willing to bet that they don't win the SB. And by "even odds" I simply mean that it's a basic bet. One side says they will not win (me) and the other says they will. No odds, no nothing. Just win or don't win for whatever amount between $100 and $1000.

I know that there are some Cowboys fans already celebrating a SB win. That's how some Cowboys fans are and that's who I'm offering the bet to. They don't need odds or anything else. They're already celebrating a SB win.

Offer is good until until they kick off at San Francisco.

I agree. But surely there's a better or seven out here who would just LOVE to take my money.

Maybe 10-15 years ago you would have more takers. Time has taught some of us humility.

You Corona, yes.

But others…..

I'm one of us.

Especially after 27 years of futility. I mean, the Cowboys played in 8 of the first 30 Super Bowls and won 5 of them. 27 years. Futility.

Yes, I'm one of us.

Last night was the first time I’ve seen them win a road playoff game. Futility leads to humility.

Aikman mentioned the same thing. 1st playoff road win eventually led to 3 superbowls.

Probably not, but I can get you that ocean front property in Arizona that we discussed. It's $100

Usually, the playoff host doesn't have a losing record.

I wish they would seed by record instead of division winner. The East was a beast. The south not so much.

Not sure why, but I'm starting to get a good feeling about the game. Someone talk me out of it please.

I’ve had a good feeling about it too. If the defense can pressure Purdy and cause him to force things, it could go south for the 49ers.

As a fan of Iowa State, I saw BP try to do too much more than a few times.

 

[JCorona]

I believe this is the “we them boyz, this is our year!” part of the cycle.

Guilty as charged. Like a strong current pulling me right into heart of that part of the cycle. Call me a sucka.

Looks like we got bad Dak today.

 

[FeralFelidae]

I knew that was an interception before Dak even released it. I literally thought, "Here it is!"

Hopefully, he got his weekly interception out of his system and "good Dak" shows up for the rest of the game.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Well, even "good Dak" seems to throw one each game. Let's wait and see.

 

[JCorona]

Good Dak is back!

 

[JCorona]

Wow Maher has to have kicked his last ball for Dallas.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Wow!! Crazy shit. WTF Maher?!?

 

[STexMiner]

Can we coax Eddie Murray out of retirement?

 

[FeralFelidae]

What a BS penalty.

 

[FeralFelidae]

What a BS penalty.

Well, at least they threw one for the hit on Zeke, too.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Unfortunately, I think you have to try the FG here.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Wow, great scramble!

 

[STexMiner]

Yep. Shoulda taken the points.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Dak. Dak. Dak!!! Jeezuz Kryst!

 

[MineroFanatico]

Two interceptions. Two terrible decisions leading up to said interceptions.
