I agree. Although I would play them apart.

don't understand (actually i do) why people gravitate towards these MONSTER favorites. the parlay pays less than even money and BOTH sides must win. i would rather bet both dogs. i think the tribe win today. it's worth a look. gl!

It would pay pretty close to even. However I did this the other day, a 2 teamer with Boston and San Francisco, and boston blew a 4-0 lead and San Francisco rolled to a win, which sucked. I would play these games seperately and take -1.5.

NO WAY, to cleveland win the game today.

1) There is no such thing as a wagering 'lock' - all you're attempting to do is become more of an attention whore.

2) No such thing as a 'lock bet'.

3) How's this "lock" thing record of yours going? If I remember correctly, you seem to have a "lock" damned near every/every other day. Maybe one should not hype the game (or attempt to) and let the results speak for you.

When you used the word lock you pissed off 99% of the forum. But, of course, you know that.

I have these 3 teams in a parlay today:
Detroit
Boston
Philly
1.85 to win 3

Not because I think it is a lock, but because I think this is a better way to play these 3 games than to lay -300, -220, and -210.
If 3 win, I win 3 units.
If 1 loses I lose 1.85 units.
Betting them straight, if 1 loses I either break even or win 1 unit, if 2 lose I lose 1 or 2 units, if all 3 lose I lose 7 units. So, it is a calculated risk to avoid risking 7 units to maybe win 1 unit.

According to current Pinny no-juice lines, this parlay has a 48.56% chance of winning. So, if you can get better than 2.06, make the bet... If not, dont make the bet.
