    $5k ML parlay

    Guys seriously, I don't like open threads like this but I really need other cappers thoughts. Taking the decision is really painful for me right now. I'm thinking about a $5k ML parlay with Charlotte and Denver. I need some logic action tonight and I want less heart attacking situation. Would you play this one?

    Shit no.. Yea, it could work but it isn't worth it bro. 2 average to below average road teams you want to lay chalk and both work for 5k? I dunno 5K is alot to me, but if you are betting big and that is just loose change than go for it.

    Man- like all of my bets it looks great on paper. But crazy shit happens in the NBA and you could easily end up getting burned. But it does look pretty promising to me.

    Depends on your bankroll and what 5k means to it. Denver may not cover tonight, but they're not losing in MSG either. Charlotte, on the other hand is iffy. I like them too, but not enough to lay 5 grand on the ML.

    If you're having a heart attacking situation then 5k is probably way over your head. If just the thought of betting a certain amount makes you nervous, than it is probably too much. Plus, even though Washington stink, Charlotte is 10-26 on the road.

    Well, actually it's %20 of my bankroll but I'm really tired of losing by meaningless 1-2 points at the end of the game. I just thought that these two teams have to win tonight and even if they can't cover the spread, they at least win the game. I know incredible things may happen in NBA but I know if I don't bet they will win easily even cover it. Really don't know what to do. Maybe will reduce it to $1k.

    1k seems much smarter, 4% of your bankroll should let you relax a bit.

    Yeah, will see it... Thanks guys. I'll pay attention to your comments. Just sometimes I eat my mind with this kind of high-risky things... Charlotte on road also with Denver, another phenomenon. I am absolutely crazy...

    I just thought that how would it be a 5 pt teaser including Wash +11.5, Knicks +11.5 and Clips +14.5 ? It sounds more safe than Cats&Nuggets ML parlay right ?

    sounds like a chase...not a good idea, road chalk x2...far stranger things have happened than one of 2 home dogs winning in the same day..in fact I almost expect either denver or char to lose SU

    Looking at tonight's card, it's one of the weakest I've seen in a while. Save the ML parlay for tomorrow.

    Definitely sounds like you're chasing. My apologies if I'm wrong. These don't sound like solid parlay bets for me, mainly because of CHA. 20% of your bankroll is a lot. If you're going to do it, parlay 1k. Or do 5k ML SU win for Denver. Good luck!!

    I wouldn't trust those two teams not on road... I mean they should win but it's risky...

    okay im really confused. you are gonna lay -550 on dallas- is that your normal type of bet. sure dallas should win but they just got pounded by the knicks and hornets recently, they are in slump- you could be sweating this out big time.

    If you're thinking about teasing Knicks at +11, then you're not really sure in a Denver win are you? Save the 5k for another day...

    5K ML parlay is great if it hits as both of these two teams SHOULD win but this is the NBA. When I first started gambling I thought I could get rich parlaying 3-4 -400 home teams and it worked our good for a while but it never works in the long run. In fact loosing this type of bet is likely to scar you from betting sports altogether. Better off trying to pick a spread that you are confident in.

    Yeah I agree with you bud. Don't worry I'm not such an idiot who dreams to sweep bookies with chalk parlays .

    chalk parlays are fools gold. I guess I was just thinking about how bad I learned my lesson doing chalk parlays.
