Do you bet against your favorite sports team?
I just saw this question and I think it's worth answering regardless of the time it was asked.
There is no such thing as being late to make your contribution or answer anything that relates to sports betting and how sports bettors treat their favorite teams while betting on them because at some point we need such information to keep us going in our discussions since we make bet almost on daily basis and our fav always on the line up for their next game.
My understanding of the bet is that I aimed at winning so if I know that my favorite team will not win the game I will not risk my money in selecting as my winner just because I am a fan.
