What do you all do? Drive to Biloxi to place the bet?

I'm just curious how it works, do you go to the casino and then do you have to drive back to collect your $?

I would take LSU straight up, but I also enjoy the +3

Yeah, you go place your bet then get your ticket and if you win you have to go back and collect.

How in the world are you getting ML bets on those teams? Three sites showing no ML for any of those teams besides LSU..... $250 to win $805 though seems like an awesome get.

5dimes.com

There's no reason to go to a physical sportsbook(s) in Biloxi/Vegas unless you are close to one and/or want to be there for the game.

for college, 5dimes has ML up and available for action at the latest Tuesday every week for EVERY game.

"Also have a 9 team ML parlay... risk $250 to win $805"

A money Line parlay only pays those kind of odds for a 9 team?

Wow a line parlay for 100 bucks would be almost 10k

you may already know this, but ML is much different than spread... spread is generally speaking 50-50, it’s a coin flip... ML is just picking the winner of the game. We know the “big favorites” will actually win the game 98% of the time , but Payout for "big favorites" is quite low.

For example, when LSU is playing Southeastern, everyone knows LSU will win. You would probably have to bet $20,000 on LSU to merely win $100. It's a slam dunk win, easy money, but is it really worth risking $20,000 to only win $100 ? If you’ve got $20k laying around, it’s practically a free $100, but if you’ve got $20k laying around to bet on sports you probably don’t care about a measly $100. Risk/reward math really doesn’t make sense.

I try to keep my ML bets under -10,000 favorites (risk $10,000 to win $100) and preferably under -3000 (risk $3000 to win $100), and if you combine enough big favorites you can get the payout to an acceptable amount and still have a very confident parlay.

Line betting IMO is no different than betting red or black or day trading. it's practically 50-50 unless you have inside information.
