Pretty much going to jump off a bridge soon......

    Why not just bet straight and get paid for capping majority of games correctly. Parlays suck.

    Thats why Parlays are tough. Should have kept an eye on this one since the trade was a big factor on it and tried to hedge live. Denver ML was at + money all the way till 6 min left in the game.

    Oh man. That one hurts! I imagine a lot of people lost on Boston. And I'm sure many put the bets in last night at -3 or whatever, before the trades were announced today. Sucks!

    my suggestion is to do open parlay with open spots...wait till the game-time to check all injuries etc.. and make picks. That way you would avoid a scenario like today where boston traded bunch of players.

    problem is most of the celtics backers bet last night (as i did) to avoid having a line getting bum-rushed up by a point by the other 99% of people betting on it...

    lesson for next season..... never bet on games near the trade deadline

    next time, post up your bets and we will follow you.

    In this way, you will get us as your live consultant if there is a needed hedge.

    LOL

    You'll make serious dividends in the long run if you bet single games or parlay 2 or 3 teams only.

    Thats the way it goes son. I do know how u feel as all I needed was Australia the reigning 3 time world champions in cricket to have a higher score after 15 overs vs zimbabwe to make 15k. 9 leg parlay and they were the only one's. I actually have won 15k since then so its quickly forgotten. Like you today I needed this game to determine my bet but i needed the nuggets. Won 10.6 today.

    Hope u win a ****** million best of luck champ.

    oh man, 9 parlay & missed just 1, don't let it get to ya & move on, focus on the next one. that would be added to a nice bankroll though.

    Tough loss on that one. I went with Denver just because of their great home court advantage and the C's being short on players. Tough loss, hope you hit a big one this weekend.

    Why not post your picks in the future? Somebody might want to tail playing them as singles Is your hit percentage always this high, or just every once in a while?

    Misery loves company. How about this one. Have 20K 8 team parlay down to Denver ML vs South Alabama. Denver up 31-17 at half at HOME. In the bag right. No f'in way. Outscored 31-16 in second half and 8-0 to end game for 48-47 LOSER.

    Didnt lose my shirt it was 250 dollars. Thanks though. You stick to the way you want to bet and ill stick to the way i want to bet. If i bet all those games straight up i wouldnt have the opportunity to make that much. I like taking the risk, yes it burns a little this week because ive been missing parlays left and right by one but thats why parlays are nice because you dont lose your shirt on one bet like you can doing single bets. Im not really into sports betting to grind it out day after day after day, it makes it not as much fun. It would just feel like poker to me if i did that. Thanks again for your valuable take though

    Keep at it mate, know the feeling. I usually post crazy parlays while drunk - remember one was $500 to win $15k, checked it in the morning and first 4 legs come in. Scroll down to check the 5th one live (it was NCAAF), close game needed the team to lose by less than 14. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Had the good sweats happening, pulse racing. Come back to check it at half-time, the score was like 42-0. FKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

    But man that's why I'm in this sports betting for those moments. Agree with you not interested in the grind, fk that, this is entertainment not a job.
