Since your goal is to turn your $1k into $10k..... are you going to parlay your picks?
If you take your 6 games and round robin them into 4 team parlays for $50 each then you will win $9200 if they all hit and $2500 if you hit 5/6. Total risk $750. Just a thought.....

[kurt_06518]

i would avoid mich st, its a trap

I dont know much about round robin parlays...are they better than regular parlays?

My course of action was to play $1K a game (i have money already in my account so i am playing with roughly $1500 this weekend.) So if i were to play 6 games i like in this thread and they all hit (haha) then i would be at a little bit more than $5k. And if i really get ballsy then if i win my first two games, oregon and mich state then i could obviously put up more money on the later games. I will never do an "if bet" again. Last week had 4 out of 6 teams hit, but my 2nd play was nc state so there went my bet.

if you would, fill me in on this round robin parlay.

[dimetimekid]

that is what i have been reading. i have see northwestern play and they dont impress me, but i will take that into consideration. i had navy on my possibles as well as ohio state, but i was talked out of ohio state.

[dimetimekid]

i would avoid mich st, its a trap

the only other game that stands out to me at the noon times is the minn v penn state...i think minn will cover. joe pa never runs the score up and i think minn can score atleast a touch and a field goal

[falconticket]

Why did you buy the tt game down to 2 from 2.5 am I reading that right?

If you bet a round robin parlay then you are taking all the possible parlays with those teams. All the online sportsbooks and vegas offer these.

Let's say you pick 6 teams. You put them in round robin 5 team parlays. There are a total of 6 different parlays. If you risk $100 per parlay then you are risking $600.

If you hit 6 of 6 then you would win $14,615
If you hit 5 of 6 then you would win $1,935
If you hit 1,2,3,4 then you lose your $600.

As we all know..... parlays are a big risk and are not the way to make a long term profit. However, if you are trying to win big then it's the quickest way to make big money in a weekend.

NC State screwed me last week too. Falling down by 21 points killed us.

Good luck at whatever you decide!

[dimetimekid]

Why did you buy the tt game down to 2 from 2.5 am I reading that right?

dont know...must of made a mistake when i was jotting the lines down

[falconticket]

Think I would just as well buy Colorado to +3.5 since the line is 3 right now.

i am staying away from parlays this weekend. i usually play two or three regular parlays each weekend and end up losing them all. I will play three team parlays at $100 per...and like clock work i will hit 2 out of 3 teams in each parlay.

I went back and looked at my sportsbook history for the last 40 or so days, i wagered over $2500 in parlays and won only $1000

sad i know

[dimetimekid]

Think I would just as well buy Colorado to +3.5 since the line is 3 right now.

i dont think colorado has the offense to hang with tt. I believe i read that colorado averages 19 points on the road and 13 points at home, so they do better when they are away from their field, while TT averages over 30 points away from home. Yes, tt has a porous defense, but is colorado strong enough to keep up?

I think the line should be around 7 if not higher, but last time i thought colorado was a sure loser, they beat Georgia straight up.

[dimetimekid]

is there anyone that has any info on the indiana v illinois game. The line is at -14 for illinois. I feel like the way illinois played against msu, osu and psu showed that they are legit. 14 seems like a number that can be reached.


Am i wrong?

[dimetimekid]

My journey to try and make $10k by monday

if you get a chance take a look at some of these and let me know what you think. I put $1k on oregon.

12 and 1pm games
$850 on mich state, navy and boston college
the other noon games i lean towards are illinois and tx.

330 games
$1000 on W. Mich, txtech and baylor
the other 330 games i lean towards are Cal, bowling green and georgia tech.

Parlay- $300 on n.illinois, ecu and hawaii
I will only play the $300 on the parlay if my first six picks hit.

7 and 8pm games
$1000 on miss st. and unc (now here is where i get ballsy...if my first 6 picks hit, then i will put $4000 on one of the games at 7, 8, 9 or an NFL game)
the other 7 and 8 games i lean towards are south carolina, toledo, oklahoma and airforce.

I know there are a lot of what if's involved here, but i feel like if i dont go 6 for 6 then for the whole day i will go 6 for 8 and still be on the plus going into Sunday.

people are going to look at this and say mich state is a trap, but i love their D and think they will cover by ten points.

Any thoughts on the above from anyone?

I like your plan. I'm not a big fan of the Navy pick..... but other than that I think it looks great! Good luck!

sorry its called if bet
If Win Only Bets
Picks Line Risk Win
Chicago Bears -7 -110 110 100
KC Chiefs +9 -110 210 190
In this example you have the Bears -7 to win $100 and if that wins only you have the Chiefs +9 risking $210 to win $190. If the Bears don't cover the spread you lose $110 and you have no action on the Chiefs. If the Bears cover and the Chiefs don't you win $100 on the Bears but lose $210 on the Chiefs for a total of - $110. If both picks cover the spread you win $100 on the Bears and $190 on the Chiefs for a total of + $290.

If Win, Tie Or Cancel
This is very similar to an If Win Only Bet. The difference is that you have action on the second bet if your first bet wins ties or is canceled. In this type of if bet you don't have the option to use your potential winnings from the first bet on the second straight bet, because of the tie or cancel possibility. However, you can risk more on your second bet than on your first bet provided you have the balance to cover the wager.
If Win, Tie Or Cancel Bets
Picks Line Risk Win
Chicago Bears -7 -110 110 100
KC Chiefs +9 -110 110 100
In this example if the Bears were to push or the game is cancelled you still have action on the KC Chiefs bet. In this case you could win $100 if the Chiefs cover or lose $110 if they don't.

SBG Global does not allow If Bets on any of the following:
· Soccer goal line and total of the same game
· Hockey goal line and total of the same game
· Baseball runline and total of the same game
· Football side and total of the same game when ratio between the side and total is less than 3/1
· Basketball side and total of the same game (managers discretion)

[Husker36]

I'd replace Navy with Syracuse if you are looking for an early game.

I was just speaking about these earlier. I seem to get screwed by these just as bad as the parlays. I wrote that i had five correct out of 6 teams last week, but ncstate was my 2nd pick and they lost, so the rest of my ticket was done.

If you were going to set up an if bet on my ticket that i showed, how would you set them up?

thanks for the info

[dimetimekid]

I'd replace Navy with Syracuse if you are looking for an early game.

i was looking at that game, but didnt know how to play it. I see a few people on this forum are on it and have seen it as the sharp pick on a couple other sites.

I will probably switch it up or add it to the noon games.

What dont you like about the navy game?

[LINE-crush-ER]

if win turn around
You have a Wager of $100
Bet on New england if win turnaround Dallas
Dallas if win New England
1-1-0 you lose $120
0-2 -0 you lose $220
if you go
2-0 You win $400
Ties
1-0-1 +$100
0-1-1 -$110

[LINE-crush-ER]

the great thing about this it gives you parlay power with with half the losses
as your likely going to go 1/1 most of the time

[dimetimekid]

i am thinking about playing the friday game now also. I have read a bunch of posts around the forum and seems like most people think s. florida will win or atleast cover. Looking at the stats and the fact that cincy is home, i have to believe that cincy rolls through SF. cincy has top 40 passing attacks in the country while SF has one of the worst pass defenses in the country at 90th i believe. Unless cincy turns the ball over more than twice i dont see this game being close.

Am i missing something? Any of you out there that are repping SF, let me know what is going on that made you pick them.

Dimetime, do yourself a favor, and follow therber's picks in his thread:

http://forum.sbrforum.com/nfl-handicapping/674225-pro-computer-gambler-2010-2011-lock-load.html

He covers both nfl and ncaaf in that thread, and he's doing pretty good at it.
