I'm new to this whole game but winning

BOL to you Sirus> my advice to you is the same that my friends told me when I started betting.
Parlays will ultimately kill your bankroll. If you are doing it for fun then its no big deal, but over time that rush of hitting a big parlay will be depleted by continuing to play them.

As far as your plays...
-Like Nebraska to win tonight after seeing Missouri play at Nevada I was not impressed
-E. Michigan @ C Michigan could be a major blowout...LeFevour is one of the best QB's in the country and after playing a brutal opening schedule I look for them to pound Eastern.

-Like your under play on Wisc./OSU because I don't see Wisconsin scoring more than a TD on OSU's defense..Whether Wisc. can keep OSU from putting up big numbers is my only question mark

I just got into betting after watching my friends make money and I have a decent start. My current NCAA Football record is 13-9.

Not sure if I getting lucky or know enough to get me paid but here's this weeks picks for me:

There's a saying "I'd rather be lucky than good or I'd rather be wrong and rich than right and broke."

Welcome aboard sirus. If you can wade through all the drama, BS, and good natured ribbing then you have just stumbled into a great place to hang out and actually find some decent information. Plenty of good guys take time to post just about anything you could want to know about any given game.

thanx for the tip mcbaseball10. I only put 5-10 bucks on those so it's no big risk.

So far I'm 2-2 on parlays which ain't bad I think.

Drop the parlays-those are killers in the long term. GL

Welcome to the board. Lot of good info, but as he said just weed through the bs. Parlays killed my bankroll so I stopped

Parlays are only killers if you take them too serious. I look at them as entertainment bets. Plus, I think there is better odds of me hitting one of them than there is hitting the 6 numbers for the lotto. I will only risk a small wager on them.

The true odds of hitting a 10-team point parlay are 1,023-1, while the payoff is generally around 700-1, so the parlay player is always at a statistical disadvantage. I think a Pick3 lotto has better odds... GL
