First week betting picks

[wde1723]

Hey guys, new to the forum and online betting.

After some hassle yesterday I finally got some funds on my 5 dimes account, $100 to be exact. I'm just a broke college kid who likes football and money so I figured why not see what happens.

Here are some plays I've made so far...some were impulse buys, I was a little to excited at first.

Totals: $31.35 $232.52


So any advice based on what I've already done(should have done different etc..), and should I just stop now and keep the 68 for later weeks, or make a few more bets?

I was thinking I should probably place some more $10 straight up bets and be done for the week?

Have I already shot myself in the foot?

TIA!

Take your 68 dollars and put it on arkansas to cover the spread tommorow. You just gave away your other 32

Yea the parlays were a little crazy I suppose..

Could you give more detail as to what exactly was wrong with some of the plays above?

Also I just made one last 4 team parlay:
$4.00 $27.67 Pending 4 Team Parlay
Pending 10/22/11 12:20pm College Football 323 Arkansas -11½ -190* vs Mississippi
Pending 10/22/11 12:00pm College Football 353 Oklahoma State -6½ -120* vs Missouri
Pending 10/22/11 8:00pm College Football 365 Texas Tech +31½ -170* vs Oklahoma
Pending 10/22/11 8:00pm College Football 389 Wisconsin -6½ -128* vs Michigan State

I am done with parlays now.. So any more advice as to more straight ups and if so what amounts 5-10?

[GETMONEY407]

Lol @ BigAl. yea man if youre just starting out, you shouldnt be making 8 game parlays. you would probably have a better chance of getting something back by just donating to your local charity because you pretty much just gave your bookie $32. You should buy a half point when taking -7 spreads to eliminate push and i would have bought arkansas down to 13.5

[Bigh2001]

Chill with the parlays and find one game you really like. If you have to do a parlay you should limit to one per week for now. The odds of winning are too slim to risk 40% of your roll on them.

[wde1723]

Damn, appreciate the advice.

So what would these remaining bets look like to you?

Arkansas -15.5 11 to win 10
Ok State -6.5 12 to win 10
TTU +28.5 11 to win 10
Wiscy -6.5 12 to win 10

Or would that be a bad idea bc I have already included most of them in parlays?

Also should I drop that down to 2 games risking 22-24 each?

[wde1723]

Ok made made two more plays:
$22.00 $20.00 Pending 10/22/11 12:20pm College Football 323 Arkansas -15½ -110* vs Mississippi
$25.60 $20.00 Pending 10/22/11 8:00pm College Football 389 Wisconsin -6½ -128* vs Michigan State

This leaves me with $17.05 left, thinking about saving it till next week if all goes wrong here, which from the feedback seems likely lol.

At least you didn't get roped into teasers! OH wait....
