I know you're from Ohio and very loyal to your teams other than the Browns and would probably never bet against your team and alot of people are that way. I don't bet sports but feel if you do, you have to take the sentimentality out of it because the bet comes first. I know some people who bet on their team every week no matter what.
I never bet for or against my favorite sports teams as a rule

Some people also bet against their favorite teams every week or game
It's a win win for those people
If your favorite teams wins your happy
If your favorite team loses, still happy because you won some $
Horrible approach. JMHO
