Monday Night Football Parlay - Thoughts?

[riffraff24]

Love this parlay. I think we have a shootout, back and forth game. Buying points for these alternate lines. Thoughts?

Texans +7 (-190)
Over 47 (-190)

$200 to win $265.92

If buying such a drastic amount of points why not just buy to 7.5 and 46.5 so you could cash instead of push in a 27-20 or 24-23 type game.

Since when does -190, -190 equal a 2.65/1 payout? A $100 wager at those odds wins $132.96.

my bad i meant $200 but typed $100. Adjusted above.

No big deal. You're buying points the wrong way though. Take the Patriots ML. It's been successful 93% of the time with Brady starting at home since 2009 (27-2) and 84% (73-13) since he's been the starter. You're getting too exotic when there isn't a need to do so...
