    7-team parlay ruined by Jackson State; lesson learned

    [609] DENVER -350
    [614] DALLAS -800
    [632] OKLAHOMA STATE -300
    [640] TULSA -1400
    [658] MORGAN STATE -600
    [666] SAM HOUSTON -650

    [672] JACKSON STATE -900

    75/157

    Lesson learned: Never bet on crappy conference games where the stadium looks like a church gym.
    And at least, Tulsa came back to save my other parlay.

    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.

    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.
