#2Ebb....that is a great question, and I have attempted it but with no success. I would hit maybe, 4-6 in a row---and then I would get one/two that just would beat me back down.
I have also attempted playing ML parlays, but again----long term, the success was minimal.
Next year, I am going to try and track college football moneylines more closely and attempt something with them. I need to figure out what numbers I want, and just how much risk I want to assume.
What sports were you looking at specifically? And what numbers did you have in mind?Comment -

was thinking college sports in general.
wa thinking about trying it for either first half or first 10 minutes first quarter etc..
taking a big spread and getting it down or maybe some dogs that come out ready to go
martin maybe will start a thread in the hoops thread?Comment -

#5Yes ofcourse it can be profitable.
My advice is never ever take a ML more than -500 even if it's in a parlay.
If you are sure about about a game yeah lay -300 for $1000 why not right? the juice only matters when you lose.
Now if you can hit some + money underdog ML it will pay great. I recommend this especially in baseball and with home dogs in football of 7 or lessComment -

#6will do 1st quarter, 1st half, game, 1st 10 minutes, whatever just money lines
BAll state 1st quarter + 220 vs. toledo 10 wins 22
its senior day ... 6-5 record... could come out fired up
home dogs probably can be profitable in picking spots..
tulsa would of been good earlier alsoComment -

#72 to 6.5 point dogs using ML are the most profitable with the least risk in the right spots.......Comment -

#8good point pauly
i was thinking home dogs for the first quarter also because usually over the course of 40, 60 minutes whatever the better team will win,, but if a team gets down 7-0 early there not gonna shyt themselves right awayComment -

All the people who started taking big ml's. Killed it, obviously DQ'ed.
I think I went on a 39-7 run after just taking ml's and not spread/pick'em games.Comment -

#24I hit a big parlay when I first started betting, it ruined me for awhile cuz I thought I was hot shit, then I lost all the money back plus a bunch.
You really have to choose your spots. I like early season college football ML faves. Conf. play will mess you up.

#35Not saying this will make money but ive been wanting to research how NBA underdawg ML's turn out that are 3 points or less.*
Not many Games end in a decision less than 3 points unless the shot is a game winner. >5% id say. Given this fact in hoops taking anything less than +3.5 is pointless vs taking the ML. I want to see how these ML's have faired over the past 3 seasons.*Comment
