Parlays are sucker bets.

I know a guy who is always screaming at the one team that blew it for him.

Kent State is decent, I'd be careful with that one

Yes, we know parlays are for the greedy types (like me).

I'd blow $100 on tailgating supplies or going out with friends this weekend easy, not going to the game. Sticking around the house getting some busy work done. If I lose it I lose it, but the chance of it hitting is what I'm looking at.

Appreciate any input on those games, and if there's something stupid in that play I won't make it.

Okahoma covers for sure. I actually like UTSA this week, almost straight up. Arizona put a beating on them at home after a very similar win against UNLV last year (exact same score).

This year's team is much better, while I think Arizona is a little bit worse. Not to mention this game is in San Antonio. I'm not saying bet on UTSA, but no way do I touch Arizona on this one.

I hear ya. I don't think it'll be a beat down but I like Zona to win by 10 to 13.

I may hold for a couple days and see if that line moves off of 7 and go in the opposite direction.

Much more tricky than it looks.

Yes.

Yes.

Tulsa has some offense, it appears. Means the world to them, so tricky.

S. Alabama -3 at Kent St.


Yes.

quote:

Hard to trust UK just yet. Ohio is well coached.

Duke -19 at Troy


Yes.

On a 7-team parlay? Yikes.

quote:

Kstate -12 at Iowa St.


Better than a lot of your other picks.

quote:

Michigan St. +13.5 at Oregon


Yes, looks really good. The Spartans are the Stanford of the Big Ten, style-wise.

quote:

Missouri -6.5 at Toledo


Seems too good to be true.

I'd rather put $500 one the one game that I like very best and enjoy a much greater chance of winning. Then when you build a bit of a bankroll after hitting 3 out of 4 you can do things like bet LSU money line over Moo State to increase you bank roll by an easy 20%

This

Not only will your parlays lose but I guarantee it won't even be close

Too much chalk and I could see a lot of games going the other way

Assuming you hit your bets at 70% on average (nobody does), your chances of hitting that 10-team parlay are under 2%.

Just mail me the $100. That's like a .1% of happening


Sucker bet

Stick to parlays of 2 or 3 teams max.

Never bet a 2 team parlay.

Just use an if/bet and get true odds.
