Nothing sucks worse than having a 7 team parlay for $8k and lose it on the last game

I feel your pain, however it's risky business needing multiple teams to win a single wager.
Shake it off.

Another reason why parlays are for squares. Look at how much money you could have won by simply making individual wagers. This is the difference between a winner and a loser. Don't worry. By time you figure it out, it will most likely be too late unless you stop playing parlays.

The only time it's a good idea to play a parlay is in baseball, and it's just a two team parlay using a -200 or so elite starter or else I shy away from multi team wagers.

That is tough and you have balls for playing it,but Bigdaddy is right, if you had played them individually, you wouldn't be agonizing about that 1 loss. I feel for you

You lost it on Stanford.

It didn't come down to the last game.

Oregon-Cal started long after Stanford was down 38-17.

FWIW, hitting 7 of 8 is pretty damn good.

7 teamer is hard. I've hit a few 4 team parlays, but it's best to stick with a 2 or 3 team parlay at the max.

please tell me you played these individually as well

If i ever figure this shit out......everybody is in trouble.

They're called "Round Robins"

There, you just figured it out. Thank me later.

It's ok to bet a parley if it is an addon to your straight bets on each team.
