    Boise St. & Steelers Parlay - License to print money ?
    Thinking of a Steelers & Boise St. Parlay...
    Money line.

    Steelers -900 (favored by 14)
    Boise State -800 (favored by 17)

    Pays 247.30 on a $1000 bet.

    This does not even seem like gambling...
    Seems like a license to print money.
    Or the closest thing to a lock I have ever heard of.

    Your thoughts ?

    What do the steelers need to win for? They might blow the game.... Oh and don't get me started about Boise St... I seem to remember a game they were favored by 14 and lost the game twice because of the kicker shanking 2 20 yd FG's

      Seems likely to win, but I try and stay away from betting xxx amount to pay out 1/4 of what I bet, too risky in my opinion, but I dont have alot of money either.

        Steelers still have a shot at a bye, which is huge with polamalu's injury. so they have a hell of a lot to play for.

          Not a fan of those types of risk to win bets...on paper it seems like a legit wager...but $1000 to win $250...ehhh. Not worth it to me.

            Find another favorite you like and add it to your parlay. 1000 to win 250 is a bit too juicy

                Boise St will smash Utah. Utah's offense just isn't very good, just like their defense. They got destroyed by TCU and lost by 25 to Notre Dame. They also finished out by beating a pretty crappy BYU team by just 1 point. Pittsburgh still needs to win games. They have clinched a playoff spot but they are still tied with Baltimore so they can't have a letdown.

                      Sounds like a winner.
                      Put 2k to win 500 and be twice as happy.

                          Thought about that but with Boise St. at -16....

                          Now that's too much risk for not enough reward.

                            Why don't you just flip a coin and bet on the spread? You're retarded to put a $1000 on something and only earn a quarter of your bet. Even if you win, it's horrible math and you should find a new hobby.

                                  Its not really horrible math at all, a short priced winner is better than a higher priced loser.

                                    what odds do you assign each team to win their game? Easy calculation to determine if its worth it from there...

                                      Getting 1 to 4 does seem a little risky, but if you really like it it seems like a quick $250 profit in my eyes. You are a gambler by the way if you're on this board, so let it fly.

                                        being a gambler doesn't mean all of us take blind risks where we don't have a calculated edge

                                          Better return than the stock market and less risk.
