Is this Parlay Smart or dumb?

**goblue12** · 09-03-10, 11:55 PM

Might do something similar in the pointsbook with my 20-30 remaining points.

**aman86** · 09-03-10, 11:58 PM

Mine as well do a 3- team 10 point teaser but what the hell.

**Rod1010** · 09-03-10, 11:58 PM

all of these teams are huge locks.. Should i play this or its risky ?

**apom12** · 09-04-10, 12:03 AM

This is week 1.... Wouldn't call all of them "LOCKS" right off the bat homie... That's A LOT of juice, and all it takes is for one of the teams to lose and you are toast

**aeshred** · 09-04-10, 12:08 AM

you have a good chance of hitting it with ml heavy favs against shit-teams. Its not entirely stupid since you picked the cream of the crop. Id try trimming the parlay down in the future, as one of these teams are bound to slip at some point.

hmmm. maybe ill wait a couple of weeks. Its week 1 anything can happen .

**BOBBYW** · 09-04-10, 12:12 AM

A dog will win but i don't no which one...

**BigDofBA** · 09-04-10, 12:12 AM

Tech/SMU is a bit risky.

Tech is starting a new regime and SMU is coming off a bowl year.

Ever heard of "Too much chalk"? What's the chance of 1 out of 14 of those teams losing? Probably no better than the dream team losing in basketball, yet we all know they can't win 14 straight. I'd rather find 2 or 3 good games to risk then all those games with low reward. That way if you if you win 2 and lose 1 you still come out ok.

There's 3 games I've highlighted that I don't like at all. I really think June Jones and SMU has a great chance to upset TT. I'm locked and loaded on the pony express.

Yea june jones has had some time, tech has the new coach, SMU could keep it close, but then again Tech might just rape the shit outta SMU... lol

I agree we dont even know what washington state is even gonna do, despite being the worst as of late theyre bound to improve, (traditionally w st is a good fball team).

And those in state Michigan rivalries are dangerous!!!

**BigDofBA** · 09-04-10, 12:22 AM

Put the money on K-State -2 tomorrow.

UCLA has no offense. The game is at K-State. Snyder is a better coach. K-State has a decent offensive team.

**Rod1010** · 09-04-10, 12:23 AM

alright thanks guys. ill keep it to 3 picks a week.

I agree, Wash St. is going to be much improved with a lot of returnees, while OSU is rebuilding WSU may finally have an offense with their QB and tall WR. I think over 53 is good as well.

Both these games are ones that could change with momentum IMO. No way would I put them in any parlays...

This game is a coin flip IMO... I think UCLA may be playing possum with all the injuries and may be much healthier than posted. Plus, Prince (if he plays) could catch lightening in the bottle and put up a bunch of points. Kstate offense may not put up enough points to match. This is the type of game to lay off or watch the 1st half and take a 2nd half play. Who the hell knows what will happen here.

Is it possible your parlay hits? Yes, but parlays are sucker bets in general, unless you are Marty Mcfly. The payouts don't reflect the true odds and in my opinion you will probably lose at least 1 of these games. Why don't you find 1 spread that you really like and just bet that or if you're trying to avoid paying juice, parlay it with LSU ML. I think that ML has the most value compared to all the others you are parlaying. Or just bet LSU ML and don't even sweat it. I'm not sold on LSU point spread now that it's up to 10 but the ML is your best bet.

**Rod1010** · 09-04-10, 12:59 AM

i love mizzou at -12.

**Joepbj** · 09-04-10, 01:26 AM

then parlay that with LSU ML.

**LostBankroll** · 09-04-10, 03:25 AM

Parlay are sucker bets. Yet its nice to take a chance from time to time. When I first started gambling last year I did a 5 Team Parlay for 20 dollars. I bought points on each game and my payout was still around 260ish dollars. It hit with South Carolina +18 against Alabama being the last game to sweat. It was the week or the Red River rivalry, hit Texas on -2.5 after buying the .5 and ofcourse they won by 3. I felt great hiting 5 teams in my very first try at things. Parlays are a great tool to sportsbetting if you know your shit.

**jon13009** · 09-04-10, 03:28 AM

Too many games. The chances of all of them coming through are slim.
