idk....i have VCU but WKU worries me a little

~~Take the opposite teams individually -8 and -4.5. Figure out what the minimum you want to end with if you were to lose your parlay.~~

Nevermind, you could still lose one of the two

What scares me is everybody thinks WKY and VCU will cover or win straight up. Usually if everybody thinks it will happen it want.

Just wait until halftime so you have a better feel of how your team is gonna do

mcbaseball10 · 03-19-09, 08:56 PM

Just thinking as I type so I might be off base,

You could do 3 different teasers

ILL -.5
UCLA -4.5

Ill -.5
VCU +13.5

UCLA -4.5
WKY +8.5

Guaranteed to cover yourself as long as you have enough profit in your parlay

I'm feeling pretty good about VCU...i may just go the other way on ILL -5.5...I got about 25 minutes to decide...lol

Hope you hit your parlay and you don't have to worry about it. BOL to you..I am on VCU +7 so I hope they can hang with UCLA

MaddCapper25 · 03-19-09, 09:02 PM

You are in good shape with the parlay.

MaddCapper25 · 03-19-09, 11:07 PM

VCU down 3 with 1:19 to go...I was worried about 15 minutes, but I think I'm good now...I was actually more worried about WKU...go figure

nice, whats the payout on this?

bizzle66 · 03-19-09, 11:16 PM

nice job bro

MaddCapper25 · 03-19-09, 11:21 PM

Thank you all.

Since 4 of the picks were MLs on high seeds, I only got about 26 to 1. Risked 25 for about 650.
