That may have been some of the best advice that my parents gave me. I always want the very best in life to happen But realize that that probably won't work out.

What can I say Rugs, I'm an A-type. I've flown fighter jets @ Mach 1, jumped out of helicopters & raced cars at Laguna Seca ;).

But I get it. To each their own :bng:

If they lose 1 game you don't post for the rest of that season, if they win your 20-0 I'll not post the entire next season. How does that grab you? Want the bet or talk smack with the 20-0. I already know what your going to do but I don't really think you BELIEVE what you're saying going 20-0. Fair bet from a non betting man. I truly love a gift horse I really do !!

I suppose you need clarification. Betting anything on a team going 20-0 in the NFL is a fool's bet. I am no fool. Are the Saints likely to go 20-0? History says no. You asked me to predict the Saints record. I said 20-0 just like I did last year and just like I have said 19-0 before they went to 17 games last season. In no individual week during the season am I expecting my Saints to lose that week therefore I would not predict a loss that week. If I feel that way on a weekly basis is there a reason I shouldn't feel the exact same way over the entire season?

That's why I have always "predicted" the Saints to win each game every year for decades and will continue to make the same prediction moving forward.

So, am I going to bet those ridiculously long odds based upon your premise? Nope. Only a fool would do that and I repeat, I am no fool.

Now do you get it?

However, I would place, say, a $20 bet on a season long money line parlay for every Saints game. I would do that in a second. I would lose if the Saints lost a single game. However, if they didn't lose that $20 would roll over to the next game multiplied by the previous game's money line odds. Then those winnings would be placed on the next game's money line and on and on. At even odds (which it may even out to as they remained undefeated) the total at the end of the run would be $20,971,520. Could you handle that?

:D

Here you go, ice. This was my response to halloween's foolish bet offer. Do I think the Saints will truly go 20-0? No. Honestly predicting a final record is meaningless. It's going to be what it ends up being. There are far too many unknown factors involved to truly know if any given team will go 3-14 or 14-3, especially before you even know the roster and coaching staff.

Foolish?? I guess it takes a genius to think 20-0 is smart call?
