    How I used to make a good living!
    Was out in the garage working on my latest project. Was digging for something & found these from 2002. Found some the other day that I had printed from the weekend of Sept.11, 2001. The week there was no football. Sad times all around.

    Anyway, I've seen a few guys on here ask about parlay cards. I used to run them heavy, was a lot of fun & damn good money! I ran a large operation & these cards were the gravy. Do you guys see a lot of them anymore? Seems like kind of a lost art!

      What is "5 on 5" ?

      That is pretty much how much local used to run them, pick em games were -2 both ways, and all ties lost. His cards also paid on 9 out of 10 but I think it was 25 to 1, and 10 out of 10 was 125 to 1

        Fuk those totals are shit.

        Do people really go for that shit ? Under 36, and over 40 on the same game. So if that game falls on 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40, everyone loses.

            These parlay cards are no where close to +EV unless you are the house. I dont doubt he made a killing on these if he got enough idiots to play them.

            The totals are horrible, the fact that ties lose and of course there are going to be a lot of 3 's and 7's as lines, and the fact that pick ems are -2 each way, and even if someone hits one the payouts are terrible.

            I know people used to play this shit in the 80's and 90's but I didnt think too many people would go for this shit on January 6 2002, long after the offshore book industry had become well known by most gamblers.

              Looks like all the lines are -2 both ways, -3, or -7.

              LoL. "Ties count against you", sounds better than saying Ties Lose.

                        It says 5 on 5= 100 points.

                        pick 5 plays for $5 & get $100. Thats a little better odds than the rest & everyone who would buy a lottery ticket will play 5 on 5!

                              Oh ok, i got it. So a 5 teamer for $5 pays 20 to 1 instead of 15.

                              Thats the only difference from how my bookie used to do it, his were pretty much the same as this but his didnt have the 5 on 5.

                              Funny thing was, he also had lines on Saturday and Sunday where you could bet individual, or bet parlays. if you waited until Saturday, you could put in say a 5 teamer and it paid 25 to 1, plus ties didnt lose, they pushed down to the next lower payout, and there was no -2 both ways, and totals were whatever they were ( no under 36, over 40 crap ). Yet, amazingly people just couldnt wait until Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning when these stupid cards came out to bet at much much worse odds. Complete Squares.

                                Yeah there still around.....I pass them out at work.....Guys go nuts for this stuff...For a couple of bucks,guys get some action.
                                The kind I give out,you have to hit 4 out 4 for a pay off....Needless to say more losers then winners.

                                  In all the years I went exclusively through my local bookie ( probably 6-7 years ), I might have played 1 of these cards.

                                                    no i didnt. go back & look at your thread. The other dude started shit & you jumped in & called me an ugly redneck! I never said anything about you or said anything negative in any way! Why you wanna jump in & make personal attacks on me was beyond my comprehension & really surprised me. Everyone here knows that if you're a friend of THE PROFIT you're in good graces & everything will be smooth for ya. So you being new & wanting to call me fukin names & call me ugly??? What the fuk are you thinkin'? Like I said, if I had said something derogatory to or about you thats one thing, but I didn't. SO you can go back & pull your thread up & see where you went wrong or hold your position. Either way, I'm willing to forgive you, I dont even want an apology, I just want you to know you're fukin place here! You have to build up to calling me fukin names because us regulars will make or break you here. If you want to be a poster here & contribute thats fine. But the head of my dick is better lookin' than most male models so dont ever call me ugly again muthafuker
