You're certainly not the first to say something along these lines (I stated right from the start that I had a funny feeling about this one).

HOWEVER betting should NEVER be done to make money... at least not until you know you're good at picking people.

BET FOR FUN, NOT FOR PROFIT (at least at first).

You might as well burn your money. Ross's ground game is a joke. Rich will sub him easily. I'd only bet on Ross if I could get 10:1 odds or higher.

I'd throw like 100 on Ross. Won't lose as much. Ross has a shot IMO so it could be a god bet if he can smash his face in, knowhatimean.
