    getting lucky? Or throwing away ten bucks
    So I was just toying around on my site and wanted to see how much a 10 team parlay would pay off on a 10 dollar bet. I just randomly picked 10 teams then went ahead to the next step to see the pay off. Out of curiosity I just looked at some of the picks I made and just got a feeling to just say **** it its only ten bucks and went ahead and put it in. I have zero expections with this bet but just had a wierd feeling abhout it. Anyways I just figured id post my little story here cause i figured it be pretty cool for you guys to see if I did hit it.

    Here are the pics

    PARLAY (10 TEAMS)
    [347] TENNESSEE +1½-110
    [349] KANSAS CITY +7-110
    [351] OAKLAND +2½EV
    [353] CINCINNATI +6½-110
    [355] BALTIMORE -6½-110
    [357] NY JETS -3-110
    [359] ATLANTA -2½-110
    [362] TAMPA BAY -3-125
    [364] NEW ORLEANS -9-110
    [367] ST. LOUIS +13-110

    $10 to win $2000

    Best of luck to you. But from experience I could tell you to set your expectations low. It's hard enough to hit 1 winner let alone 10. Good luck bro.

              Why does this only pay $2000?? Shouldn't it pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $9000

                  Underdogs come thru in those kind of parlays and a dude on here told me to tease them. I see that you have most of the underdogs. Good sign. Next time make sure you tease them.

                    yea that does seem alittle low? I throw in some random 8 teamers now and again and they pay around $1600.

                        I just tried the same bet on my betting website and a $10 pays over $6700! Where are you betting to only get $2000?

                          Save your 10 bucks, put it on a 3 tmr instead and try to turn it into something other than zero

                            Just re-looked the bet and i got tampa at -125 but either way I call your BS on your statement. Show me a screen shot of the same bet on your site

                              This was just something that happened out of no where and i just decided to roll with it. Regardless, i dont see the problem in laying down 10 bucks for this. First of all its only 10 bucks and at least it give you more excitement then a 10 dollar scratch ticket

                                Of course theres no problem with it if you dont care about losing the 10 bucks... the thing is though if you are not planning on re-loading then you could try to build the 10 bucks into something and then you could allocate a % of your bankroll to this recreation rather than the whole thing.

                                BOL with your parlay

                                  im not going to pretend I understood what you were trying to say cause I dont. Im not in this for the long haul, and im sorry but im not familar with your lingo. im in it for the action and got the disaplin to stop when betting is not fun anymore. I just figured it be fun to follow this bet if it won cause it came out of no where at the time. Thanks for the bol and wish you a week in the green.
