    Thanks for the insight. Any reason as to why -300 to -700 is a good range to stay within? Will be following!

    Anything more and the money you win is not worth it. Dont be afraid to go even lower than -300

    I know that juice adds up with any more than 3-teams in a parlay. My thought is risking a given % and taking the profits and "snowballing" it into the next bet. One needs to have an exit strategy, and my thoughts are taking the profits after 3-5 games and starting the process over again. Thoughts?

    I like it, I do something similiar. Although I often go more than 5 teams and leas than -300. Last season turned out pretty well for me.

    Raven, I cant message you yet since I don't have 20 post. I did a whole write up and then couldn't send it. Long story short. Five games I like this week in greatest to least confidence; Ohio st. Patriots, Tampa Bay, Colts, Gators. Gator game is a little tricky but I have a few friends who love in Miami (I use to live there) that say the crowd will be 60-40 and that makes me even more confident in the gators. I believe this game comes down to who has the better defense and Florida I believe does. Also as you can see I am betting against EJ, Geno, and Pryor, which makes me confident in those games also. Ohio st. is a no brainer

    Been doing a lot of research tonight and here is what I came up with and eventually put in for a 6 game parlay; Patriots, Tampa Bay, Colts, Florida, Cincy Bearcats, Arizona Wildcats. $100 Pays $523

    Hmm looks good, except I cant bet against my Canes. Im here in Miami(at The U), and I agree there will be alot of Gators fans, maybe not up to 40%...but I feel people are underdstimating the Canes D, and overestimating UF O and D. Also as I type this, a torrential downpour just ended lol, which makes me less confident in UF O. Especially if its going to continue

    Yea Ravens, that's a toss up game and maybe I am underestimating Canes D, but I hope not, lol. Anyways I have a 6 game parlay thread that I ended up laying don on. The thread is NCAA/NFL 6 team parlay week 2. Good luck with whatever route you take this week and lets kill it. Good luck also with the game today should be a great one

    1st one is risking 550 payout is 570. so you put in 550 and the sportbook return your 550 that you put in and your payout is 570 so its $550+$570=$1120. that how you do that math on it

    You committed the cardinal sin in my threads Raven and you and I have had this discussion before...lol about people agreeing with your picks and watching them lose and then when they say I dont like that one sure enough it wins. The only one you didnt have a comment on was Texas and we see what happened it is weird why or how it does but in these threads for some reason it happens at least 75 % of the times....just saying its weird

    Vegas---

    Just some advice.

    I think you are confusing other posters when you say...

    525 pays 1190.

    Try this.

    525 to win 665.

    Its known/assumed you will get your stake back if you win, no reason to include it in the total, it makes people think you are winning 1190.
