I went to las vegas so I could bet on the football team to have a winning season
You went that far? Why does winning matter to you?
My school's football team is really bad and I want to see if they're good.
That's great you want to support your school, but you should take chances and only bet enough that you can spare. Gambling is a serious addiction and this can be a gateway to hell for you.
We need to do something in order to keep me entertained during football season.
But don't you think wildly gambling on them wouldn't be entertaining in the end with a such a huge loss? How about betting smaller, or not at all and just cheering them on? You should have money to spare to enjoy the rest of Vegas!
