You're usually not allowed to bat on yourself for fairly obvious reasons. On a related note, a friend who's a sports better always placed the biggest bets against his own teams. Partly because he trusts his judgement better when not clouded by the hope that his team will win, partly because if he looses the bet, hey, his favorite team just won the game against the odds!
