if you are counting fantasty football and betting pools, I am probably up about a grand. Mainly for winning an NCAA pool that paid out $1000+

And I won fantasy football twice, and cleared about 600 or 700 between the two wins.

I've hit an insane amount of futures (Including Cilic for the US Open).
Take away futures, and I'm at like 50u on the year lol.

Lol.

Who was the poster who would randomly show up in the bet threads and throw a fit about units . Made a comment I thought you boys were betting some real money in here. I think he was an Admin.

I bet a 3 game parlay each week. I bet $300-500. The first two weeks I bet $300 and won about $1500 on both. This past week I won 2 of 3 with the loss coming from Bama allowing So Miss to score so much. That was a $500 loss...which wasnt actually a loss of my money. I'm still up $2689. I bet $300 this week again to win $1450.

I got it at 120/1, and bet one full unit on it just for the hell of it.

The +190 number is just a little skewed because of that

Basketball is probably the worst when it comes to this.....nothing like the kick in the nuts feeling when a meaningless layup is made with .5 seconds left to either push the game over the total or backdoor cover.



Raiders scored a meaningless TD with a few seconds left after converting on a fourth down last sunday. I had the under. The longer you do it the more you encounter these bad beats, and of course sometimes you're on the right side of one.

The worst is women tennis, up a set and a double break in the second doesn't mean much

I've bet ab 10 CFB games a year for ab the past 6 years. Made around $3,000. Lost around $4,000. Netted -$1000. But it was fun.

If you thought Bama was going to cover 45 against So. Miss you aren't hitting 80% on parlays...

That being said.

If you bet 1 3 game parlay a week it would be impossible to be 4-1 at this point.

So much fail in this.

You are claiming to be 14-1 on your last 15 bets and your one loss was an awful bet any sharp would have told you Bama rarely covers a line that large (I'm nowhere near a sharp).

Won't last long betting parlays. You are a bookies dream client.

Parlays can be really good, when used carefully. I've made a decent amount this MLB season with 2 and a few 3 team parlays.

To bet nothing but parlays? Go give your bookie a blank check.

It's really not overly difficult to pick winners at a good enough percentage to profit long-term if betting properly.

Last year I won a trifecta on a horse race with crazy odds and won $1500+... also hit on a $800+ college football parlay the week LSU beat Bama during the regular season, the year Bama won the rematch in the Sugar Bowl.

All being said, I think I've won more than I've lost

Three leg parlays are a sure way go broke. Two leg parlays can be very profitable.

This is week 4. I have made 3 3-game parlays. 3x3=9 last time I checked. I am 8-1 on the season. Get your math straight before calling people liars.

As far as So Miss...they are awful If Miss State beat them 49-0 why couldnt Bama? Doesnt Bama have a better defense than State?

Good grief...why the hell does everyone on here live to beat on people and look for ways to say "gotcha?" I am a 43yr old physician. I have no need to lie to impress anyone.
