    Introduction and Also Curious For Input on My First Parlay.
    Hello, my name is Paul, aka CreaturE. I am fairly new, and I'm sure not a lot of you know me.

    Here is an introduction: I am a college student from Wisconsin. (Go Pack Go) I used to go to Whitewater University (I'm sure many of you haven't heard of it). I got really bored there with my Psychology degree and switched to a tech school in Waukesha County to get my associates degree in Computer Programming. I never really cared much for watching sports throughout high school, I just enjoyed playing them. However, I have recently found that through SBR and placing a bet on games, that I have become intensely interested in them (Thank you SBR =D). I watched the entire UNC/DUKE game during my Java Programming class tonight (I don't think I ever watched a full college basketball game), and I am completely neutral to both teams. I bet almost 200 points for UNC to cover the spread so I was more biased towards them obviously. I yelled "Hell yeah!" after one of the UNC's scores and my prof got a little angry to say the least. Anyways, I am curious as to where people go, outside of SBR, to find useful information for creating a logical bet.

    This is for 2/10

    FLORIDA STATE -1-110
    CONNECTICUT -1-110
    ARKANSAS STATE -4-110
    SAN DIEGO +11½-110
    SE MISSOURI ST +12-110

    I'm guessing this isn't all that great from the VERY limited information that I have about any of these teams, however, I'm just curious as to if anyone thinks this is even remotely feasible.

    I'm glad to finally meet some of you,

      I don't think you are getting very good odds.

        Thanks a bunch. I just won like 400 points today (not on parlays)and decided to try something fun and out of the ordinary for me.

        Well I bet roughly 70 points, and SBR is offering a payout of almost 1700, so I s'pose if it hit, I'd be pretty dern happy!

                  Parlays have more juice than straight bets. Don't do them.

                  Unless you manage to make a bet where the legs in your parlay are correlated.

                    Thanks, I've had it since I was about 12 in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. (if you've heard of it)

                    Well that's unfortunate. I can hope though!

                    Well I realize that straight bets are "easier" in the sense that they don't require any other crutches to win them, but hell, the payouts of a parlay can be worth it!
                    ***EDIT*** Also, I just realized and gained, a lot of respect for you Deluxe on not being a doucher about the game. It was one hell of a game man, I was nervous every minute of that game even early in it when we were stompin'. I hope to be hearin' more from ya soon man.
