Yeah I didn't place anything yet. I was just toying with the odds on TheGreek to see certain combo's. Not sure if it's throwing money in the garbage or if there's a decent chance. Only reason I thought there was a chance is because good teams are not playing to their full potential now that they're saving energy for the playoffs.

I would at least take pistons out of the parlay

**reppin_the_847** · 04-09-10, 02:29 PM

Here's a much more humble variation of the parlay. Much much better chances of hitting this little lotto parlay. But only $16K + to be made here lol. It uses mainly spreads instead of moneylines unlike the other combo. The only extreme moneyline upset here is the Washington Wizards toppling the Boston Celtics. Here's how the new combo looks:

1. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010
Minnesota Timberwolves Spread +7½ (-115) Game OK
2. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010
Milwaukee Bucks Money Line (-185) Game OK
3. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010
New Orleans Hornets Spread +7½ (-115) Game OK
4. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010
Washington Wizards Money Line (+650) Game OK
5. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010

6. Basketball - Friday, April 09, 2010

Great advice AZUC8. Making this lottery play into more of a mini lotto here...as per AZUC8's advice, changed the Wizards moneyline into a Spread, and added an NJ spread play for tomorrow vs. Indiana + Points lol.

Love the lock pic, that's classic.

**reppin_the_847** · 04-09-10, 03:31 PM

K just brought it down to earth a little more. Putting in the Indy Pacers spread instead of moneyline. Giving them +3 to play with vs. the Cavs. Debating whether or not to go Pacers moneyline or Pacers spread. Cavs are sitting a bunch of players & it's a back to back for them, but it's at home, and they probably want to give the fans a Win even if it's by a point or two.

I'm liking this one so far. The Cavs are so banged up, I think they'll probably lose tonight. Lol.

Was just going back over the numbers. Bettors could've made a KILLING today if they parlayed the following moneylines:

Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons & Washington Wizards. I mean, you could cash out $100,000 EASILY if you put in a dime or two on this parlay. Upset city!

**nulldah** · 04-09-10, 11:57 PM

i think at the end, the one that can make the most of this r those that know exactly insider team infos. if not, this is just pure luck to parlay it. better to just bet SU on each game ML. that way, with grizzlies, pistons, wizards already can cover 13 games tonite
