Is it OK to bet on the Tigers?


Dec 3, 2016, 8:17 AM

I ask because I have always felt it jinxes the Tigers. The reason I feel that way is because of karma, it is bad karma to try and profit off of the team I love. I'm a superstitious person if you cannot already tell.
My fiance just made me aware of a bet she made on the game tonight. I am hoping y'all can talk me from the ledge. Do many of y'all bet on Clemson?

I do when the line is right

Best practice is to generally avoid yours and your rivals lines (keeps heart out of it)

That being said 9 was too low so I did

You never, ever gamble

It will not jinxes us. It will just not make it seem as good if we win by less than the spread. Now if you want to risk a lot of money to win a little take the moneyline. I think if we play Clemson football we cover the spread but if we turn the ball over a few times and VT gets momentum it could be a close game.

I'll never bet, I just hope her bet didn't jinx the fellas. I have no details on her bet either, I didn't ask.

I have won way more money than I have lost betting on the Tigers.

I can honestly say that as well if we win the NC this year. I flew to Vegas before the season and put $820.20 ( wouldn't let me put $820.17 down. It was suppose to represent the '82 and '17 Orange Bowls). I win $7481.80 (includes the original wager) once we bring home the title.

Go Tigers!

Awesome! Good luck! I only clear 595$ if we win

Learned long ago to never, repeat never, bet on Clemson in any sport!

Yes. *****
