stonecrows said:Oh, I forgot to say I got moaned at last night for betting on Liverpool and hoping the bet would lose. At first, my wife looked at me aghast and said 'I can't believe you're betting against Liverpool' and then I explained that I'd actually bet for them but wanted it to lose and she said she doesn't want me to bet against them because it's 'her team' and I should show some loyalty. This all sounds amusing but she was deadly serious and seemed quite narked with me. The thing is, not only do I not like football, but I am not a scouser so if I was going to support a footie team I'd support the one that was local to where I come from! When I started telling her I have Everton in my GMM and like them scoring goals because it nets me money, she walked off mid sentence.
Still going to bet as I need to for/against Liverpool. ;D
Luckily neither my wife or I are sports fans so we don't have this sort of situation but I always feel a little disloyal when I bet against Chelsea (my dad has supported them for about 50 years!).
