Do you have a team you won't bet on no matter what?

Myself...

Dayton Flyers.

I bet on them probably 9 times last year and I believe lost 6 out of 9. Bet on them probably 3 times this year and lost 2 out of 3 and who can forget the horrible beat that happened in December when Dayton had the spread covered and a miracle 3 that was meaningless hit with no time left to screw all Dayton backers... horrible.

Minnesota Gophers Football.

I have never won a bet on this team. I have probably bet on them 6-7 times and lost every single bet... I consider this team a jinx to me.

Finally the ultimate team that I am jinxed with..

Buffalo Bills. I honestly believe I am 0-12 betting on this team over the past 5 years.

I won't bet the above pretty much no matter.
 
As discussed in a previous thread, I will not bet on Team Canada for hockey/curling in the upcoming Olympics.

That is not due to any kind of jinxy feelings around it. I have an almost religious passion for these teams and don't want to cheapen my experience with bets.

Other than that, no.
 
I hate betting on big boxing matches for the same reason Mudcat stated above. It just fucks up my enjoyment of the event as a boxing nut.

Apart from that, anything goes. I'll bet against Grandma in bean bag baseball.
 
I will never bet on the team playing against the Washington Gnats

I'm a sucker for punishment, so I still be the teams that always fuck me.

It's funny, it's kind of like blackjack. I know perfect strategy and I know the game has a fairly low house edge. I also know that every single time I play it, I get destroyed. I've sat down to play blackjack say 40 times in my life, and have won 3 times. It is a mathematical miracle how shitty my luck is at BJ. Almost everyone I know has a cool turn-100-into-1000 BJ story. Not me.

Yet I still fucking play it when I'm in Vegas, and still keep losing. Ugh.
 
Betting against the Nets has been a sweet deal this year. The oddsmakers have been slow to catch up to their ineptness.

They have been a rare system over-ride for me. My systems have told me to bet them about 25 times for various pointspread and OVER situations - and I have said fuck it, no, I am not touching this team - and I have saved a lot of money for it.

Don't know if it will last but this year's Nets actually would fit the topic for me. I do not see myself betting them no matter what.
