Pick one game you are really betting on, like the LSU game, and then parlay a sea of money line bets on 14+ point favorites on top of the ticket. Suddenly that 20 dollar bet for the one game that's a toss up could yield you 2-3000. Testing the theory after week 1, but it's a fun way to through in a sea of A&M/UTSA type games and get good value if you hit on the one toss up game.

The worst part of the mass legalization of gambling is every dipshit wants to tell you about his parlay or how to beat the house. Nobody cares

I bet no one has thought of this strategy before. I’m sure it will work out for you

i have done that for fun before. that is not how you make money long term betting sports. straight plays using proven systems are how you do it. I jhave done this for years. most parlays are for suckers or a lotto bet.

football is way harder to win at than MLB or NHL or college basketball.
especially NFL.

If I want to bet a (+350) ticket this weekend I'd just bet Scottie Scheffler and move on. No a 12 leg parlay full of (-800) MLs

Got a pro tip for you - that is a dumb idea that is not going to work

Oh for sure. There will be one game that will be an upset. But...maybe not.

Most people do a version of this and is a very common strategy....but you keep on being an innovator

Parlays are fools bets over the long run. You’ll win one week, believe you’re a genius then there’s an upset next week and you’re down

DV for acting like this is some kinda new strategy

One bet at -110 plus a dozen bets at -700 to -1000 range? I dont even think that would put you at +2000 because of all the favorites. The chances that all 12 bets hit is also very bad.

Do you know how many ML games you have to bet to get to +10000? Truly retarded

Vegas is so good on game spreads, I have found them to be far less accurate on prop bets. If you look hard, you can find some easy winners, just don’t parlay a bunch of them.

I'm so glad I didn't fall into the whole gambling addiction thing. Instead, I became a raging alcoholic like a true well adjusted south louisianian.

"for me at least"

Y'all, I was in Vegas and decided to make week 1 more fun. You guys are no fun. I said it was a new betting strategy for me. Not for you or anyone else.
