    The predicted hit percentage of this play is a little too low for me. Only play parlays that are over 100% of hitting.

    Good luck.

    Chalky, I mis-spoke

    it is actually 102.7% chance of hitting. I re-ran the numbers after checking the injury reports

    Factor in this

    I was sitting in a Mcdonalds drive thru the other day when this thought hit me like a load of big macs

    It's a loop hole that allows you to never lose money when gambling

    All you have to do is make a 3-teamer

    Bet the spread on the dog and take the ML on the favorite in addition to the parlay. Also it seems to make sense to also take the dog ML. So you end up with Fav and Dog ML, 3-team parlay and dog spread.

    You never lose. Probably get booted quick doing this so start small

    If I was on the Dodgers ML tonight (I didnt bet it), why not parlay with the series price? Now I know the price had to be super chalky, but wouldnt it basically give you a few extra few points? Understand what Im saying?

    I would go opposite way....

    Pelicans game is a coin flip....Cavs suck lately

    and Houston won't win it. Spurs haven't lost 2 games in a row this season and after that loss to Miami they are sure gonna kicks ass tonight...oh yes, and those 2 H2H wins will also make it hard for Rockets.

    Portland's game also a coin flip. Grizz are back are full strength and Blazers are just a good offense team. They don't defend well.

    I normally like your plays, Arcken, but I think this one has a better chance of going 0-3 than 3-0.

    Good luck though. Hope you hit it. At least you didn't say "your welcome."

    165% chance it goes 2-1

    -35% chance it goes 1-2

    if it were to go 0-3 the world would blow up

    y but in a parlay it doesnt matter if you go 2-1 or 1-2 or even 0-3.

    Personally, I like the Cavs -- even though they pissed on my face with that collapse Sunday.

    I think SA/HOU is 50/50. Rockets are all over the map. Spurs don't beat anyone with winning records.

    Of course Portland on a short home line makes sense, but Memphis is a much better defensive team and a deeper team than the Blazers. I think that one's going down to the wire and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the Grizz pulled off the "upset" (if you could even call it that).

    I assume there are no sports betting sites that will allow this?

    This doesn't bode well for Arch and I. Honestly, I actually feel good about these 3 games. They are all chalk. If I go 0-3, it's may be time to fade like Lang.

    You can't go 0-3 in a parlay. You are either going 1-0 or 0-1.

    Spurs haven't beaten anyone? Well as someone else mentioned, they haven't lost 2 in a row this year.

    And.

    Spurs are 9-1 ATS after a loss. Those wins after a loss have come at Denver, Atlanta twice, at PHX, at LAC, Toronto twice, and at Dallas.

    I'm not sure if I'm touching this game, but the above stat makes betting SAS tempting.
