Do yall gamble on the Vols?

[Volanta]

Its football time in Tennessee!

Question, with the proliferation of sports betting, do yall dabble at all? Do you bet on the Vols?

I cant do it. same way I cant draft a bunch of my favs for fantasy football bc Ill have an alterior motive to dislike them lol.

Im competitive and know my triggers, I admit.

If I were to put money on my team, it would ruin the game for me....but then again thats just me...how about yall?

I’ve slowed wayyyyyyy down on sports I had a problem and lost a couple thousand dollars during covid.

Now, if anything it’s $25-$35 bucks on a game. I will bet Tennessee spread at times but I won’t bet against us.

I was stump broke voting on the Vols a few decades ago.

Yep, lay my heart on the line every Fall. Lost it every year with the exception of 1998.

I bet on the BasketVols to win the regular season SEC title in 2024 and won big.
I'm betting on them to do the same this season. Fingers crossed.

 

[WillisWG]

Nope...betting Vols games made me a terrible fan

 

[utchs81]

I've worked way too hard earing my money to throw it all away making bets. Easy money doesn't really exist for this old timer.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Gambling is for suckers

 

[Voltopia]

Never bet on your own teams.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

I will if something catches my eye. Like if we're road dogs against a team with a really weak secondary or bad run defense I might put 10-15 bucks on it.

you might be right

I don't bet on anything out of my control

 

[#1fulmerite]

I don’t know if anyone else is like this but I learned a very long time ago, in the Fulmer era, never ever bet on the Vols! Heck, even Vegas never really knew what to put the line at and, that was when we were winning in the 90’s!

Speaking of which, anyone else remember the caller from the call in show after the Fresno St game in 2003 asking Bob (I think) if Fulmer intentionally kept the score low so that Tennessee wouldn’t cover the spread???? It was live and, click, they cut the dude off and went to the next caller!

The only people that win in sports betting are the bookies and casinos. You can't win against the "vigorish" fees and point spreads. Book it!!!!

 

[BruisedOrange]

If I was going to gamble, I would always bet against the Vols winning, simply because I'm always going to feel great when the Vols win, and if they lost, the money would at least take away some of the disappointment.

That, and going head-to-head, I would never pick the Vols to place third.

 

[Hacksaw]

I only bet on LOVE!

 

[Baseball25]

Co-worker thinks we will go 9-3. I took lower than that for $100.00

 

[Volanta]

you might be right

I had a buddy who constantly would not shut up about some ufc fights. So I bet him $20 and kept losing so I changed it to “push ups on demand” bet and I now always win! Lollll

I hope you lose bro sorry. I want that 12-0

I grew up with a father that was a professional bookmaker. I have never placed a bet on any game in any sport. I wonder why.
