I bet with a coworker that the Jets would win and I got 2:1 odds money wise so I owe him 10 but the Patriots are a bunch of cheetahs. He might understand and just bet another game. Should I bet the San Diego vs. Patriots game or find another game??? thanks

but they cheated you fools...its like me entering a spelling be and already knowing the words I will be asked. the Jets would a had a legitimate shot to win the game if the Patriots weren't such babies.

Pay him in spite of the fact that the Patriots and their coaching staff are a bunch of cheaters. Just because Belichick doesn't have any integrity doesn't mean you should sacrifice your own.

Go Cowboys!

A bet is a bet

I would look for the new bet and I would put my money on the bears this week.

Your not a man if you don't pay up. No matter what the circumstances, you still made the bet.

dont bet on San Diego vs. New England...thats too risky cuz it could go either way

but i would pay up...a bet is a bet

Nope, you lost the bet. Doesn't matter if the Pats cheated. there was no stipulation on that little detail. Pay up.

Well after you pay your coworker the $10 you owe him I am sure he will take your money for another wrong bet.

ask Bellichick to pay ...

I麓d wait, what if the NFL decides the Pats losses the game for cheating? then your pal has to pay you!

Even without the cheating, I think the chances of the Jets winning that game was slim. Pay up.

But if he understands, maybe take another game. But if it was me, I'd tell you to pay up.

Unless the NFL makes the Patriots forfeit the game for cheating then it will count as a win and you should pay.

bet him aggain, and go with chargers!! bet 1,000 dollars on it, and if he does not pay, have the mafia break his freaking legs!!

Pay up. Until they reviewed the film, it was nothing more than trying to steal signals from a third base coach.

Pay it. I am sure the Jets had a player on steroids playing.

I'd wait to see what the league says. I mean, c'mon, that's fair OR ask him to ante up if the league finds the Rat-riots guilty as charged.

Find another game and get a fresh start...

Good luck

pay up and then you can have another bet later.if you don't pay he should never bet you again.

only a jets fan would try to weasle out of a bet on this basis. if mangini were half as smart as the jets nation thinks he is he'd have pulled a belichick. instead of whining to the league he'd have totally shuffled the signals around at half time and confused the crap out of the patriots. the fact that he had to go to the league to complain is almost slam dunk evidence on his part that the jets never had a realistic chance of winning the game.

Do it you *****

Well maybe you shouldn't bet on games anymore...especially with how many people blame refs for screwing teams over....

Pay up ,with a condition that if the NFL changes the game to a forfeit, you get your money back.

the company i used to make bets paid me, so i don't see why you shouldn't pay him.

The NFL wont forfiet the game for the patriots so the win stays, contrary to some peoples remarks and espn. The rule book specifically states that can not happen unless a team forcefully removes the other team from the stadium during the game.
The cheating issue:
Jets did not have a legit shot one way or another. Remember:

A. Camera was confiscated early in the game, and did not play much if any factor. At most the pats might have figured out one or two signals, but if you look at their scores, 7 on the first drive(no signals had stolen at this point). There was another TD on special teams(no special teams signals were stolen). 51 yd toss to moss(this one moss runs by triple coverage, if the pats had the jets signals they probably would not have looked moss' way because he was being triple covered)
B. Jets offense didn't do well either. 2 Successful drives, the rest pretty bad. Sacked repeatedly, new runner got 42 yards or something. Pats didn't steal offensive signals.
C. Your bet was on the outcome of the game, teams steal signals all the time this is nothing new. Jets called in Caldwell for a chat prior to the game, to steal signals and information on the Pats' game plan. It can give a team an edge, but so can a lousy call by an official in a close game. The Patriots just being more blatent about it, but it would not have much effect on the outcome of the game. Teams signals are extremely difficult to figure out, the Patriots were probably doing this for a future edge not for an edge in this particular game.

Anyways thats my take on it. Maybe your friend will feel differently. I wouldn't bet on SD though, I dont think they will be able to beat New England even though I think New England has its distractions right now. But all in all, you owe him you should pay up.

Nahhhh they're cheaters. You don't owe them anything (actually you do I just wanna have the best answer).

That was not a great bet to make in the first place, I think without cheating NE would have won by 21 anyway - pay the man
