Doubt if this thread is still getting much reading but it's just a minor curiosity I have... it relates to Cane fan "worthiness" somewhat above:
Assume the line is near 0, and you decide to wager $50 on BC, thinking "well, I want Canes to win, and it's worth $50 to me, but "at least" if they don't win, I will get $50 out of it." And you also root for the Canes as you watch game.
I believe in jinxing too much to do something like this, but would that be the action of "bad fan" or a "smart fan" or what, do you think?
