    How does a Houston/state ml parlay lose tonight?

    I just can't see it.

    For better odds just buy each team to -1 instead

    Much better odds to just take the teams at -3 for the parlay

    If one of those teams scores less points than their opponent you will lose. That is how it works.

    State is a lock.

    Houston is a solid play, but not anywhere near a lock as State is.

    Odds are to brutal to play GS and Rockets in a 2 teamer.. I'm out... 2 teamers on the ML with the favorites have worked in the last 2 days of hoop though...

    -1100 and -850 isn't working.. No value.. May play the dog and the points with the first game, then if that misses double up and play the dog again in the second game..

    I don't see both favorites covering those huge lines tonight anyways....

    GS ml has dropped quite a bit, sharps must like pels. Both these game 5's at home could be blowouts.

    Ml dropping every time a team is facing elimination. It's all horseshit.

    I like your 'first bet one dog... then maybe the second one' approach JIBBBY. With the 2 team $line parlay, one would be laying -450. Break-even point at minus 450 is 82%. If a handicapper determines that BOTH GS and HOU have a better than 82% chance of winning, then there would be some value making that wager. I would contend that there is the possibility of finding value at any odds (90% winners at -450 would be profitable... long term).

    That being said, I wouldn't be completely shocked with either the Pelicans or the Jazz pulling off a SU win tonight. So I'm with you on taking the points.

    The only problem with the double up theory is if both favorites win and cover tonight you lose alot of money.. Close out games you'd think one of the two dogs will keep it close though. That's basically what you're betting on with this gambling strategy.. 12 point spreads are alot of points.

    We'll see???? I'm gonna try it. First game bet already in.. Utah +12..

    I bought the hook on the Jazz. Hopefully they'll have the cover well in hand before the 2nd game tips off... then I'll just leave it at that. GL

    Mf'ers didn't want us playing it. Freaking thing didn't pay shit so I just passed. Didn't see the point having to risk the huge amount it required to get any kind of win worth talking bout. Can't wait till the scrub teams gone and don't have to deal w these jerkoff high ass spreads!!

    Let's say Cavs meet state.

    You don't think state will be -10 at least game 1?

    I'm looking at about a 23% return on this.

    Not bad.

    Could be, I'd image they be bout same for games 1 and 2. Seeing how craptors were -6ish at home gotta think yea warriors will be 9/10, I'll happily be chasing bron on spread and maybe ml tho.
