Hi, I'm Marc from New Orleans...(KC born/raised)...

Just wanted to start off by thanking everybody for their helpful threads... I've spent the last few weeks studying these forums as much as possible. I made the mistake of going $150k in debt for a worthless law degree... 250 job applications later, no job (and I finished in the top 25% from a top law school in DC)... haven't found much to be fun in life since graduating in May until a friend of mine mentioned he did parlays on 5dimes... I really had no idea what any part of that sentence meant but a few google searches later I liked the idea (just had to figure out a way to get Sunday ticket)...

I started off with $50 and got pretty lucky... with this...

10/2/11 7:11pm $353.81 Wager Won 90565451-1 $10.00 $343.81 Win 5 Team Parlay
Win 10/2/11 1:00pm NFL Football 207 Detroit Lions pk +105* vs Dallas Cowboys
Win 10/2/11 1:00pm NFL Football 209 New Orleans Saints -7½ +110* vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Win 10/2/11 1:00pm NFL Football 220 Kansas City Chiefs +1½ +105* vs Minnesota Vikings
Win 10/2/11 1:00pm NFL Football 224 Houston Texans -3½ -110* vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Win 10/2/11 4:15pm NFL Football 232 Green Bay Packers -13½ +110* vs Denver Broncos

and then put $100 on this

10/3/11 11:26pm $205.00 Wager Won 91207482-1 $100.00 $105.00 Win 10/3/11 8:35pm Live In-Play Football 9237 Indianapolis Colts/Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3rd Quarter Over 7½ +105*

so as you can see... the early success has me hooked... now I just need some advice... are there any books or online articles you guys would recommend I read? I have 10k saved up and thinking about tapping 5k into it for betting...
