    The Hall Mary Bet

    Anybody else do this? For the hell of it every one in a while I like to throw a couple bucks on a 9-10 team parlay. Yesterday did it, the only one I missed was Cal Bakersfield -4.5, quadruple OT, they won but didn't cover. $2 to win $630. Fukk that's a kick in the sack. Anybody ever do this and hit one?

    Yes I'll do them but on weekends only. Make sure you leave one late game by itself with no other games pending. If it is still alive you can hedge. Best way to do this in my opinion.

    Had Blazers ML as last leg of 8 teamer tonight. Missed the live bet +500 twice cause damn league pass was behind. got in a slight hedge when i took them at +10 in the third quarter. Idiots were up 70-49 at half and still loss. Stotts coaches zero defense. When i lose it's often the last leg on a west coast game. except when i had a 25 team parlay $40 to win $7500 and went 24-1 because Tanneyhill blew a dolphins game. I still have disdain for him.

    We've all done it for a few bucks. We've gotten close but don't cash.

    Covering's post, 2 posts up, seems like good advice though.

    Give yourself an out, in case you get close.
