    It depends. Is $50 all you have? Because obviously, the more money you are throwing down, the higher amount you will receive if and when you win the bet. This isn't a typical betting strategy because it only takes 1 game to lose it all, but I thought I would entertain myself with it and see if I can make some decent money from these picks.

    Haha, you're the second guy to say he might be bringing his bad luck. You can always wait for attempt number 2, which will start when I lose a bet or when I hit $1,000. Your pick, but stay tuned as this weekend will either make or break this attempt since there are a lot of plays on the board.

    Then yea, I would give it a shot, but make sure you set a limit. And then once you reach that limit, stop and start over or use the conventional betting strategy of betting spreads. Good luck!

    I'm jumping all as well! Starting with $100!

    Great job so far! Planning on stopping when you hit $1,000 then starting over when you start the next set.

    What games are you looking at this weekend? Michigan St, Cincinnati, Oregon?

    I honestly haven't even looked yet, but I will take a look later on tonight and post on here to let you guys know. I'm actually going to be attending the Cincinnati game, so I may have to play it to enhance my experience.

    Loving this premise a lot. Hope USC wakes up and take care of business. You are probably only 5 away if you stick to the -350 or -450s.

    Honestly, I don't even care what the score is until the end of the third quarter. Give the better teams more time and they will pull through eventually (for the most part). Definitely a scary start to the game though haha.

    Yea, and that's a lot more bets than I intended to have to win when I started. I was looking for somewhere between 9-12, but it's looking more like 13-15, but oh well. As long as it reaches the limit, I'll be happy.

    And it's funny how I stated earlier in the thread how I passed on the Central Florida game for the USC game because I thought the UCF matchup was a lot closer than the USC one. But here I am sitting with a 3 point lead at halftime instead of a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter with UCF. Haha

    It's actually the EXACT same thing, just separate bets. So yes, you can do it as an open parlay because the payout will be the exact same. I just like the feel and pace of this method better than feeling like I'm cramming all the games I think will win into one card. This way I can take my time and look deeper into match-ups and compare them to other games going on at the same time.

    Yea, this game should be 52-7 but there were so many simple passes dropped and stupid fumbles. Even though they won handily, I'd look to see a complete romp every once in awhile to keep the nerves down haha. Good job on your hit.

    #1. Baltimore Ravens First Half over Cleveland Browns - $100 to win $27.40 - WIN
    #2. Minnesota Lynx over Seattle Storm 1st Half - $127.40 to win $34.90 - WIN
    #3. Northwestern Wildcats over Indiana Hoosiers - $162.30 to win $38.64 - WIN
    #4. Florida State Seminoles over South Florida Bulls 1st Half - $200.94 to win $49.01 - WIN
    #5. Florida State Seminoles over South Florida Bulls 2nd Half - $249.95 to win $67.55 - WIN
    #6. Oregon Ducks over Washington State 1st Quarter - $317.50 to win $48.85 - WIN
    #7. Oregon Ducks over Washington State 2nd Half - $366.35 to win $40.71 - WIN
    #8. Houston Texans over Tennessee Titans - $407.06 to win $77.54 - WIN
    #9. USC Trojans over Utah Utes - $484.60 to win $92.30 - WIN


    The game started off scary as the Trojans coughed the ball up twice and were down 14-0 within 5 minutes of the start of the game, but the defense only allowed 2 more touchdowns the rest of the way and their offense scored enough points to win pretty easily. There was also a pick-six that sealed the deal for the Trojans. I don't see anything great tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to the weekend.

    Covering you losses isn't always the best way to gamble but good job nonetheless haha.
