    Alabama -40 and O54

    If I found a local that will take this parlay should I unload on it?

    WKU is used to these games and will keep it close early. When Bama starts to pull away it'll be too late, under and WKU +40 here.

    Yea, I think Bama scores around 45 here, they tend to not run up the score too bad, depends if W. Kentucky scores, they could on a fluke, could be 45-7 I would guess

    under EZ.

    Saban will build a big lead, then use the 4th qtr as a special teams practice.

    Only good advice in the thread

    If your bookie takes correlated parlays (a lot of locals are dumb) then the first few weeks of college football you should make a killing

    Now if you find a SECOND guy (or book) that takes them, you can play both of them.

    This is why I said find a second source, he won't last long if he plays both at the same place.

    Very true lt

    I used to pound all dogs/unders that were over 75% of the total with a local and take the fav/over through youwager

    I even middled some of them since the local lines were jacked up 99% of the time

    That's not the point. Of course you can lose any one game, but long term the strategy is a gold mine with this kind of correlation between spread and total

    you're essentially laying -125 to cover the 2 parlays that combined have about a 80% chance of hitting in many instances

    LT (or anyone) - what degree of correlation do you consider significant enough to make these viable? I saw mike throw out 75% but those are extremely rare. Even this ALA/WKU game is only 74%.

    What sort of guidelines might one use? In which instances is there a greater correlation? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: reread the above posts.

    Well got all set up and he took these bets. here's what I took today:

    Tulane +24 & U58 - not looking so good
    Clemson -28 & O67 - looking pretty good

    When he opens back up for the evening games I will probably be taking:

    Washington +24 & U52'
    Arkansas -30 & O61
    Texas -39 % O54 (I love this one. Texas may score 54 alone.)

    He did not have the Alabama game on the board so I wasn't able to get on it.

    both sides of this alabama correlated parlay turned into a -125 winner

    i wouldn't agree with the less than 3/1, i would really try to look for stuff like this over 70%

    better to bet big on the 5-10 REALLY correlated ones each year than bet small on the 50+ you will find less than 3/1 (my numbers on how many you would find might be way off but you get my point)
