    I don't mean to pry, but where are you getting all of this money? Weren't you just talking recently about being evicted?

    As for putting $2,400+ on a three-team parlay, well, to each his own. GL.

    he's making the crazy assumption that he will have $2,400 after a week of three team parleys.....starting with 10 bucks...gl with that

    I've learned this about parlays: if you play a 5-teamer, you're bound to get 4 right quite often. If you play a 4-teamer, though, it's typically 3. If you play a 3-teamer, it's 2.

    For instance, today, I had the under 127.5 on STL/UMASS, Arizona State at -2, and the LaSalle ML. Now of those three, I would say I was most confident in taking the last one. Instead, LaSalle got flattened on their home court by freakin' St. Bonaventure.

    In other words, with parlays, it seems like you're always one win away.

    i had 15 this morning. up to 54 right now. it gives me 5 shots at this. not looking for 18 on the same day. 3 a day can be done. especially with the help of all of u. yeah i think i can, and banker what was ur quote? don't try to bend the spoon, there is no spoon...... u know what i'm talking about. well, the time is now, and it's time to bend my mind. if it doesn't work well hey at least i tried. if it does then more power to me, but i'll never know if i don't try. life is an adventure, and i'm willing to explore it. like i already said sit back and enjoy sports fans

    I will also say this -- if you got from $10 to $4,800 in a few days and blew 50% of that bankroll on a three-team parlay, I'd personally find you and ring your neck.

    Before you make your picks, at least consider consulting the best cappers on this board: 2DaBank, TPowell, LT Profits, Biff, Snowball, Houllihans, etc., etc.

    that was the plan. i was going to consult everyone who i think is the shit and pick with what they are going with. i like the way a few in here cap. others i don't even look at. iceminer, 2dabank, houl, lakerboy, profits, sportsguy and a few others. i'm not only doing ncaa but nba as well out of two sports 10 games tomorrow all i have to hit is 30%. on my own parlays i hit about 73%. with the help of the real cappers(not me) i should be able to do this. i know i see a lot of threads about 2,000$ in a week or 5,000$ in a 2 weeks, but for me this is life or death. lucky for me i have my SBR points or i wouldn't even have money for food or my dog's food for that matter. i need this and will be 100% about it. u can all snicker or u can help. either way i'm going for it. i got 5 chances. and if i hit tomorrow but lose the next day i will start at 10.

    Why dont you just try to hit 1 play a day instead a 3 teamer a day. Your chances increase dramatically and you can still make some decent money. If you did win a few in a row and get your bankroll to $4000+ I would put a lot of money on you losing the last parlay. I had a very good week going 17-4 (not counting bracketbuster system plays) and I would have lost almost every day except for the days that I went 4-0 and 5-0. Good luck with this, but I have a feeling you will be very frustrated.

    Dknight, I have a different proposal for you, with your current way of looking at things, you would need to go 18-0 correct? This is why Parlays are for suckers and losers, take a look at this. Star with your intial 10 dollars and just do an open ended if win bet.
    1st 10 Win 10 so you are at 20 so you can risk 18 on the next.
    2nd 38 next risk 25
    3rd 73 next 67
    4th 140 next 128
    5th 268 next 242
    6th 510 next 460
    7th 970 next 880
    8th 1850 next 1680
    9th 3530 next 3200
    10th 6730 next 6100
    11th 12830 next 11500
    12th 24330 Bingo as you can see, you ended up risking a little less each time because you didn't even put your full original bet on the line everytime, and you not only reached 14k but 24k after only 12 winners in a row, from 10 dollars. It amazes me that people still put in parlays, they are for suckers, they payout less then what the odds are, i don't know how people don't see this.

    I must admit I was one of those suckers/losers that has thrown a few thousand dollars away on dumb a$$ parlay tickets. Although I did win $4850 on an 8-teamer before ( with one push ), the wins were few and far between. I've recently learned that if bets are the way to go if you are going that route. But, with that being said... GL anyway, I'm pulling for you whatever you do.

    GL. I did hit a 12 team parlay once so i guess anything can happen so go for it I just hope you have somewhere to go in the end.

    good luck. Have had 3 different 4 teamers and two 6 teamers all go up in smoke over the last few weeks. Michigan somehow cant cover leading Iowa by 5 with 4 seconds to play, Cornell pulling the same type of crap yesterday. Spurs blowing lead last week. The list goes on. Coincidence is right. If you play 3 teams you will hit 2, 4 you will hit 3, etc. Don't waste your $$$. I have learned my lesson, no more parlays!

    That's the unwritten rule. That's why they're a money-burner in the long run.

    you have 55 so why not do
    1 55 to win 50 = 105
    2 105 to win 100 = 205
    3 205 to win 195 = 400
    4 400 to win 360 = 760
    5 760 to win 700 = 1460
    6 1460 to win 1350 = 2810
    7 2810 to win 2550 = 5360
    8 5360 to win 5000 = roughly 10000


    8-0 seems much easier than your way. parlays dont pay as well as regular straight bets.

    you crazy man, you way better off going all in 1 game at a time as compared to this parley strategy that is sure to fail....i dont condone all-ins but certainly have a better chance of that working than doing all these 3 team parleys
