    All in on Orlando ML tonight: Good or bad idea

    A part of me wants to take this chance with them being +140. Another part thinks it's too easy. What do you guys think?

    Going all in is never a good idea for a sensible bettor. For someone gambling for fun, wasting their weekly allocated 100 bucks for gambling on an all-in can be exciting and maybe rewarding though.

    Thinking more about going with Memphis at +200. Not all in, but a big amount. They are on fire right now and +200 seems too much.

    lets go all-in on a team that just got blown out by 31 to a reeling team missing two key starters.

    on a b2b playing against a team playing great, perfect at home.

    does not seem like a smart idea.

    Would not bet ML with Orlando. Take the points if you want to be on them. Good luck.

    When you say "all in" are you dropping more than $100? Better yet, just wait for Dad and BettingWizard and go all in on a parlay of their picks.

    Yes, all in would be way more than $100. I've come to my senses though. I will be betting the Orlando ML though. And the Memphis ML.
    Guess I was getting bored with the every day grind for a minute and wanting to go for the big hit. I'm over it now though. Although, if the bet I put on Memphis ML hits, it will be a pretty big hit. I am pretty confident that pride fuels Orlando too a win tonight.

    I had the same situation last night when I put half my roll on the Grizz and the Under. Boy did I get lucky. I got into that situation because I was not managing my roll better and lost big on Lakers and Indiana earlier in the week. The thrill of placing the big bet and hoping it will be THE ONE is not equal to the crushing feeling of losing that same bet. That being said bet how you want. I am taking the points and parlaying that with the Over.

    Well son of a bitch. I still bet 3 units on the ML but my brain is hurting at the thought that I nearly pulled the trigger on the all in earlier. Oh, well, still made over $300 on the game. Now let's see if Memphis can get the win and make it a really good night. Good amount on that ML and have them parlayed with Orlando. My .5 unit bet @ +1150 on Cleveland is even still alive.

    Memphis is red hot right now. I'm gonna ride them until the wheels come off. They've made me more money than any other team over the past week or so. At +200 I think they're a steal, even on the road, for as good as they've been playing. They are one of the better teams on the road anyway. And Portland hasn't been playing all that well lately. Inconsistent to say the least. I just think it's a really good value.
