Week 9 big $$$ parlay

[golfreak808]

So I know all the talk about how parlays are bad bets, and that is why I rarely ever do them. But something this week told me to jump all over these lines and see what happens.

So here it is...

Falcons (Atlanta) -8.5
Chiefs (KansasCity) +2.5
Packers (GreenBay) -8
Jets (NewYork) -4
Patriots (NewEngland) -4.5

Small cost of $10 to win $250, wish me luck.

Parlays are NOT bad bets lol, I always do them and all it takes is for one to hit, and if you have rules set in place you can have a great chance to hit at least one.

falcons are laying too many points... other than that i like the picks

Doesn't look too bad. Good luck!

Parlays are the WORST BET.

Simple math
Each game ATS is approx. 1/2 odds (Psychic powers/Luck/Research/Analysis not influencing decision)
(1/2)*5 (For 5 Games) is 1/32 odds

Payout should be $320, but it is only $250

getting 25:1, it's worth a shot.

Where is your math accounting for the vig?

lol, thats why people bet because its not PURELY mathematical. To me Parlays are the BEST form of bet "pound for pound". I have a chance to win 6 units by risking only 1 for a 3 game parlay, thats a good deal.

Well, he was doing math. I figured I'd help the guy out and point out how he figured the vig here and not there.

Good luck with your plays this weekends. I like the Ravens, Carolina panthers and Cleveland browns. Also lean on some of your plays above, but the Atlanta and KC is giving too much points to me. By the way, this week I feel it comes to 50/50 Favs and Dogs going this week.
