    NCAAB Open Parlay - Gettin There

    A 15 team open parlay, with 7 legs down, and 8 to go! Took some chances on Wednesday to build up the payout. Funny, because 6 of my 7 picks have been road teams thus far, which isn't typical of me. Gonzaga gave me a bit of a scare last night, as they played a good portion of the 2nd half down in the 6 to 8 point range.

    I figure at this point I should only be looking at ML's in the -500 or higher range to try and limit unnecessary risks. ....well I guess every game you wager is a risk, but no need to take teams at even money at this point, at least not in my situation. If my final 8 picks are in the -600 range, the payout would be in the 5K range.

    Only game I'm even considering tonight is Harvard ML. I'm guessing this thing will be completed (win or lose) at some point next week.

    Noticed a minute ago the lines for Harvard started jumping from -10.5 to -11.5 all across the board. Locked in Harvard ML at -650, and then 1 minute later my site had them listed at -800. Moments like this make me feel like a pro.....now how about another 30 point win Crimson.....but a 1 point win will do as well.

    IVY league games are goofy. Even Harvard got drubbed by Yale in their last home game as a 12.5 favorite. GL with the parlay!

    I'll take my chances with Harvard. Yes, they did get drubbed by Yale...but Harvard is not your grandfather's Ivy League team. These guys could legitimately play in the best conferences in the country and finish at least in the middle of the pack. They lost tight games at Colorado and at UConn. They beat Penn by 30 just three weeks ago. They are 3-0 on the road in Ivy League, with 2 of those wins coming by over 20 points. Very experienced team, who understands a loss here could cause them to miss the dance, where they won a game last year. I'm sure they don't forget the loss at The Palestra last year. If they play well, they are just too big and too physical for Penn to handle.

    But my question to you is what league isn't goofy? I've seen monster upsets all over the country all year!

    Ok, Harvard won with ease, great Im over halfway. Really wanted to reserve with for ML's, but two spreads buying points is really grabbing my attention at noon. I can get Wisconsin at +14.5 and Cincinnati at +12.5 both at -575, which jumps my payout from $1,684 to $2,357. Am I screwing up doin this guys??
