I suck at baiting
you need to hit a sweet spot between the "bait" and the "believeableness" of those bait, so you need to make a bait that is good enough to bait someone but not outrageous enough for ppl to just "ah this is bait"
basically you need to be convincingly dumb, and you need to know the insecurity of the fanbase of the teams/players/region that you wanna bait
