    lol, no you dont, if you were going to bet 1 unit on green bay money line, then you just bet .5 unit on each of those parlays which equates to a 1 unit bet but with a much greater payout than playing just the green bay moneyline.

    17 points in a half is terrible defense.

    You'll make at minimum 1.8 to 1, with a possibility of making 2.73 to 1



    You're welcome.

    Edit: Odds from sportsbook.com
    With your odds, if you risk 1 unit on Greenbay moneyline
    you win 1.2

    lets pretend you risk .5 unit on GB +120 & Jets +115 pays 3.73 to 1
    you win 1.865
    lets pretend you risk .5 unit on GB +120 & Colts -135 pays 2.8 to 1
    you win 1.4
    therefore, if Greenbay and the Jets win you win 1.865 -.5(other parlay) = 1.365
    if Greenbay and the colts win, you win 1.4 -.5(other parlay) = .9

    if you average the result from the 2 possible outcomes of your parlay method, your average return is 1.1325, worse than the original moneyline odds.

    No, the line with the colts pays 2.8 to 1 so essentially 2.8 to 2, or +140. The line with the jets pays 3.73 to 1 or essentially 3.73 to 2, or +186. The minimum payout would be +140?

    Unless I'm really missing something an am a stupidass

    yeah you are missing the fact that you're risking .5 unit on each parlay , so you're not winning 2.8 or 3.73 units, but half of that.

    I think you're forgetting to subtract the half a unit you're losing on the parlay which loses.

    so +1.4 units or +1.86 units , then you got to subtract the .5 unit you lost on the parlay which didnt cover. so that equals .9 or 1.36 net profit as the two possible outcomes - average the two and you have 1.13, worse odds than playing a straight moneyline at 1.2

    Clay Mathews will be all over Vick like white on rice! The hits on Vick accumulate and GB wins by 4!

    I agree with this play in theory, but I'm worried about GB's lack of ground game.
