Are you gonna put Oklahoma State in one of your parlays tomorrow?

Not worth it, man.

I had Jackson St in a parlay that was ruined way early by Missouri. I think I'm done with parlays in tournament play.

Yeah, 2 to 1 isn't a great return for a 7teamer, but once in awhile I like going with teams I've completely comfortable with. I don't know Jackson State, but at -900, I decided to throw them in as well and it burned.

All in all, going with 4-7 team parlays with solid favourites have done well for me so I can't complain.

My others parlay types from tonight:
- ML parlay: CHA, MEM 100/475
- Parlay: MEM+8.5, DEN-7.5, SAS-8.5 100/450
- ML parlay: DEN, DAL, SAS, TULSA 275/237
- ML parlay: DEN, DAL, OKLAHOMA STATE, TULSA(phew again), MORGAN, SAM HOUSTON, JACKSON STATE
- Teaser: CHA+2.5, MEM+9, DEN-4 75/136

Oh, Jackson State, how I should hate you, but I can't right now.

Ooh, that is frustrating. I almost had one tonight. I won 4 NCAA bets, but my 5th bet was enough to take all my winnings away(and my team was favored by 10 and losing by 14 after the 1st of 4 quarters) . My team luckily won the game by 9, but not before me blowing a gasket reminding me of why not to bet NBA games. Parlays are not my bag. I bet individual moneylines. Doh, that bites, what happened to ya.
