Good God. You're as sick and twisted as I am.
Sick and twisted because of my 4 game ML parlay play strategy?
Remind me one day to tell you about my favorite play: "The Moneyline Backup". Or shite I'll do it now.
Assume Bama-7 @ Auburn. I think Bama will cover. So I put 100 on Bama to cover. But then I also put 110 on Bama on the moneyline, which would be in the -250 range.
Three things can happen:
Bama wins by less than 7: the ML bet covers the spread bet plus juice. I push.
Bama wins by more than 7: I win 210
Bama loses outrigh: I lose 110 + 275 == 385
The idea is to never let the third option happen. Or at least minimize it as much as possible.

My favorite bet is this: The rolling bet.
CFB: Choose a game on Thursday, Friday, AM Sat, Mid-day Sat and Even Sat.
Bet $110 on Thursday CFB game.
Win $110 bet on Thursday, bet $220 on Friday.
Win $220 bet on Friday, bet $440 on AM Sat game.
Win $440 bet on AM Sat game, bet $880 on Mid-day Sat game.
Win $880 bet on Mid-day Sat game, bet $1600 on PM Sat.
Win $3200 on PM Sat game. Party.
I've done it a couple of times. Last year, I bet $50 on the Pats on Monday night, by Saturday evening, I had $2400 riding on Oklahoma St vs Tulsa.
