    If you parlayed 25 teams at -500 odds for $50 what would that pay?

    Was thinking about doing a 25 teamer and just adding 1 team per day and seeing how long i can stretch it.

    not sure if the pay out would be worth it though if i'm laying -500 or -400 or -600 or -800 juice.

    i think picking 1 winner -500 type winner per day is an easy task if u pick your spots wisely.

    if its easy then why not just bet a -500 straight each day and on off chance u lose one, just bet 5X the next day to make up for it, guaranteed winner no sweat

    Think we can kiss this Oilers TT Under good bye.

    I hate when the team you back to get you the TT Under scores like crazy...allows D to lighten up...3 goals is not gonna kill these guys now.

    G'nite guys...not sure what my approach should be...Luongo going down was unexpected.
    Didn't think Kings would go on a binge of goals...hopefully I wake up to the Oilers TT Under hitting, but odds are not good.

    Bear do a Bear Den thread where you give us a minus 500 winner each day. Let's see how easy this really is.

    You should just try a dry run in this thread whilst you wait. Just to see if it really is easy to find just 1 bet per day you are dead sure will win.

    good idea

    i know -500's lose all the time.



    picking spots is key.

    From the odds they should lose a bit over 20% of the time. That's 1 in 5... so theoretically you should lose 5 or 6 times over a 25 teamer of all -500s. Sounds tough to find that many good spots to me. You should be able to do it about once in every 100 attempts, again by the odds (+9400).

    You could aim at -1000 odds and only have overcome 2 or 3 expected losses in the 25, but that only pays +980

    I do it for MMA props all the time. I usually do 15 team open parlays. Risking $25-$50 at the end usually paying around $200-$300. Fun action also.

    He should then try at -$2000 odds for even better success
