I have Okie State in two parlays at -7 but I'm not excited about it like others on the board. Texas usually bounces back after their Red River Shootout beatings.

Just put in this BS pleaser just for the frick of it:

Risk $2.50 To Win $50.00

Pending 3 Team Teaser (ties push) Pleaser tp 6½pts NFL

161 UTEP -6 * vs Tulane
SMU -11 * vs Central Florida
South Florida -15 * vs Connecticut

I mean, if you do these every week you've gotta hit at least 1 right?

I do this each week with a ML parlay for about $5. Went 16-1 last week, with FSU being my only loss . Would have been a nice $5 for $300 exchange there.

A 17 team parlay is alot to ask though, regardless of how favorited each team is.

With a 3 team pleaser, you only need 3 teams to score a touchdown more than Vegas is giving them. I've never messed with pleasers but it seems like you could hit one of these every now and then, although I'm sure its harder than I'm giving it credit for

I just don't see how Texas can keep this under 7. Maybe under 21 but not 7

A straight 3 team parlay is hard to hit with any consistency. While fun to play, the 3 team pleaser is going to be a rare winner.

An acquaintance has been running cards for 15+ years. He gets around 100 cards played per week. Minimum play is 3 team parlay. He only pays out on a few bets per week. Parlays are for suckers. Fun and I play a bunch every weekend but it is not a sound betting strategy.

This is true, but a ML parlay is a little different. I try to stay away from the Wisconsin type money lines(60000 ) and stay in the 200-800 range, ocasionally dipping into the 100s or 1000s(for an easy win). If you know a reasonable amount about college football you should be able to come close each week without reaching on too many games, and win a few more(at least that's what I'm hoping). I went with 17 favorites last week and came close, hoping to hit it this week. I know I said I've done it each week but I meant to say I plan on doing it each week. I just read about it last week. This is actually my second week doing it, but I plan on continuing it for the remainder. I believe someone on here has already hit a 15-20 game ML parlay twice this year.

New to this thread. I gamble a bunch, probably too much for my own good. Will be in here quite often though. I have two parlays intact for this weekend.

80 to win 955
USC -3
San Diego State ML
Hawaii Over 55 (hedging for sure)

50 to win 399
LSU -17 may lay 50 on a hedge here
USC -3
Detroit Tigers -1.5 (yesterday, I know not CFB)

Straight plays:

OK state -7
Texas Tech over 59.5
Stanford -21

Ive taken some advise from you guys and faded some as well. Look forward to keeping up with these threads throughout the season.

College - +25 units

Thats fine! I kinda just took that bet just to say I've bet a pleaser...Kinda hard to believe that winning two games more than quadruples your money.
