Default Selling future bears to win superbowl (12/1)

Before the beginning of the football season I bet $1000 on the bears to win the superbowl at 12-1. Due to certain financial restraints which significantly have reduced the gamble in me, I would like to sell the $13000 bet on the bears to win the superbowl (the $1000 I bet, as well as the $12000 for the win). If there are any serious takers please PM me. I have made quite a few posts and have no desire to cheat anyone here. Anyone in this forum who have dealt with money transactions with me have had no problems. I will be willing to put forth any personal information about myself needed so that said person can feel confident should the bears win the superbowl.

Once a deal is worked out I'd expect the money to be in a couple of days via neteller. If the bears do win the superbowl I would then withdraw the $13000 USD to my neteller account and transfer it to said person. For each transaction I think its fair for the receiving person to cover the transfer fee's.

Serious offers with a fair amount of posts only please.

And have a nice day.

Too bad with Grossman as QB they don't have a chance in hell of taking the NFC Championship let alone winning it all. They will lose to either the Cowboys or the Seahawks in the playoffs. Good luck, the Bears to win the Super Bowl are +600 right now at Tradesports. I am curious as to what someone thinks your bet is worth.

I got an high-offer for $1700, and with this thread dieing easily I'm guessing that that will take it. For the record though, since its $13000 for the bears to win the superbowl, 2,000 on that would be +650 which is better then what can be found at a sportsbook.

Also Grossman will either shape up or get pulled and I am guessing the bears will undoubtedly be the #1 NFC seed (13-3 or 14-2) and the bet will be worth more by the end of the season. Unfortunately I need the cash now for my bankroll and do not have 4 weeks to wait on it to mature (my original plan was once they make the superbowl,if they do, to put a nice hedge in).

Ohwell, btw I think a +600 on the bears at tradesports has nice value in it, but that just might be the homer in me talking...

This is not the case. If I made the bet at a sports book I would get the 2000 back if the Bears won. If some one were to give you 2000 for it that would be equivlent to +550.

How can you people even consider risking money when you can't even perform basic arithmetic?
