It's Sports Betting for Chrissakes

It doesn't help the team.

You might me thinking, what the heck am I talking about, yes? Well, let me tell you what doesn't help the team, betting money.

Here's the point. Let's say you like the Green Bay Packers and you bet a hundred bucks on 'em. The Packers doesn't know that you placed a bet on them, all the more that you wagered a hundred smackers on their sorry asses.

You have to always remember that betting on a team you want to win does not necessarily mean that, by divine intervention, the wind will blow that Packer field goal complete just because you have a bet on them.

All is always fair in the world of sports betting, and sometimes, it's so fair it's unfair.

What we're trying to say is, you bet on a certain team because you think they will win. You don't bet on a team to think that you can help them win. Many bettors lose a ton of money that way. They won't know that wager of yours, no matter how huge it is. Maybe if you place the smallest of wagers, something that can be dubbed as a disgrace to wagering, maybe Brett Favre will know about it, look for you, and laugh at you.
