    safe ML bet to close parlay? need this win badly
    This last 2-3 day stretch has been brutal for me. I'm currently down like $200 which is a lot because my bankroll is only like $500. Anyways i have this $10, 15 team parlay that i got really lucky with, and i only need 1 more bet to close it and win $120. I was thinking of picking some big favorite today. What do you guys think of these favorites? I know nothing is a lock but which gives me the best shot of winning? Or should i wait a day or 2 to pick a game with a better chance? I'm going to do some research but still new at this so hoping for some help.

    Games today
    Saint Mary's CA -1900 vs. San Francisco
    Wyoming -1800 vs. Idaho State
    chicago bulls -1650 vs. detriot pistons

      wyoming should be a solid win, most likely should cover the -16 let alone the moneyline

        thanks isotopes. I'll look into wyoming. Btw i'm still new at this so maybe you're right about parlays being too much risk, but all i know is this parlay is going to save my ass big time if i can successfully close it. I've only been betting for 2 weeks, have $1500 total cash ($400-$500 bankroll, at $198 now) and just want to at least raise that a few hundred if i can. Still learning a lot, especially after the bad beats i had the last 2 days in nfl/nba. Lost big on the falcons/giants over, was way too confident in matty ice, also lost on the steelers . And than i tailed the wrong guy in the bucks/clippers game who said the score would go over 192. Not feeling too "sharp" lately. Just going to keep working at it, and maybe make more bets on college basketball.

              Rocketman, don't automatically tail anyone on the boards based on what they say, you will always find people on both sides of the game and then you will always find people that are so in love with a game they will make it sound like you cannot pass, and honestly those games don't hit more than 50% usually. It is good to use the boards to follow up on games that you have a lean on and see what people that you trust are saying. If you cap a game yourself and are confident you probably should just bet it, if you come on the boards you will hear people going on both sides and it gets confusing.

              Good luck to you, I think both Wyoming and Saint Mary's are solid plays if your going moneyline

                Agreed, I"m hoping it goes under -16, but this is already a play for me
