Koolaid Bets

[ItsAUThing.com]

OK, I admit it, I drank the proverbial Koolaid right out of the gate. I was absolutely sure Mario was The Man to bring us back, and I’m still hoping he will be. I saw him play in both his championship games. He bleeds orange and green, so I was ready to back it up with wagers with some of my friends here in Virginia. Yep, while I’m a Cane grad, I live in Virginia and I made “several” decent size bets with some of my local VT and VA fans this year. Having drunk the Koolaid big time, I made the following wagers before the season started:

——. Several wagers that the Canes will beat VaTech (no points, straight up)
——. Several wagers that the Canes will beat VA (no points, straight up)

I gotta think I will win all these straight up bets.

——- Then I really took a big drink of the Koolaid, and made a decent size wager that our Canes will be in the playoffs for the national championship within 5 years. I had to think that that they will increase the field from 4 to 12 and surely Mario can bring us back to a top 2 in 4 or 5 years.

With the way the season has gone, what‘s your opinion? Will I come out ahead? I have the same amounts bet on VT and VA games, and actually overall same total ammount on my 5 year in the playoffs wagers.

I will be in Blacksburg to see the Canes win this week!

GO CANES

Tough road venues for Miami over the years.

Winnable games as Virginia Tech and Virginia are pretty brutal, but Miami hasn't proven a thing yet this year. I haven't religiously bet Miami since the early 2000's.

Bet with your head, not your heart. Always better bets every weekend than messing with the Canes—unless you have the stones to bet against them in games you know they're gonna lose.

Honestly, would've bet against Miami at Texas A&M and against North Carolina—wouldn't have touched MTSU.

Psychologically speaking, always better to bet against your team—that way if they win, the financial loss doesn't hurt as much and if they lose, at least you get paid.

Good luck.
