    closest thing to a lock

    I would never say there is such thing as a lock however there are instances when teams go to a 70% or even more of lock situation.
    for instance
    never has a superbowl ever went into overtime

    the chicago cubs have not won a world series in over 1oo years

    seattle has never won a world series

    cleveland has never been to or won a superbowl

    detriot lions have never been to a superbowl

    detroit lions have never beaten the washinton redskins in washington

    in march madness a 16 seed has never beaten a # 1 seed

    Do you have a play you want us to tail on?

    The Cincinnati Bengals have never won a super bowl.

    Too much risk involved ....if you are playing with real money, it's not worth it.!!

    What would the odd's be if you parlayed all the #1 seeds first game? Does anyone know what it's been previous years?

    I do not think a 16th seed beating a 1 seed is a big deal

    It can happen

    Looking back at last years tourney I believe the #1's were around a -3000. So parlaying them betting $100 would get you $14....

    This thread just makes me want to drop small bets on all of the #16's. Maybe this will be the year!

    dont worry I looked it up for you:

    according to thesaurus.com

    the closest thing to a lock is:

    Main Entry: lock  [lok] Show IPA
    Part of Speech: noun
    Definition: device that fastens and bars free passage
    Synonyms: bar, bolt, bond, catch, clamp, clasp, clinch, connection, fastening, fixture, grapple, grip, hasp, hook, junction, latch, link, padlock

    But what if you had parlayed all of the #1's each year for the last 20 years rolling over the return each year to the next. Original $100 would probably win like $2,000 at least.

    Are you high?

    They haven't been in the WS since '45 but they most certainly have been in the playoffs.

    I think he meant World Series instead of playoffs.
