Wait, you're upset because they aren't in love with a particular team? Lol I see nothing wrong with this. Do you not fill out a bracket for March madness? It's the same thing.
I'm not upset with them, at all. I chose to get on an airplane to go see them. Then wasted a weekend sitting around next to each other staring at the tv and not really being present. That was on me. I wanted to be with my old friends, and could have left and done my own thing at any time.
It was a good learning experience for myself. My state does not have online gambling and I hope it stays that way.
