Not saying Arky wont come out and roll but dont bet it because they played liked shite against ole miss.


I have Arky in a teaser at 2.5. and yes Vandy's secondary is very good. I believe they lead the nation in picks(if not they did, and are probably pretty close to the top).

Yeah i think Arky will win obviously and like the tease you got.

all i was getting at is betting on teams to come out firing/pissed after a lose or close win to a shitty team is not smart to me, at least the times ive bet that it just doesnt seem to matter

I agree. My dad played at OU so they are my second favorite team after LSU but No way id bet them in this game. K-State is a solid football team and OU/Landry Jones does not play well on the road. I think OU will get a win i just dont see it being by 14+

I see what you're saying . I think Wisconsin is a better team than OSU though. I believe it was on here that I read someone say that if MSU and Wisky played 10 times that Wisconsin would win 6 or 7 of them. Personally I think that number is more 8 or 9. WVU is more of a bet that their offense will get back on track and Rutgers won't be able to keep up.

I'm with yall on OU. That line coupled with the fact that they are playing a good K-State team has me staying away. I haven't seen much out of OU at all in the past two weeks.

I agree with you on that. Wisconsin just shite their pants Mich St played a really good game and deserved to win but Wisconsin would beat them more often than not

Anybody getting some action on this Troy FIU game? I watched the Panthers last week and they looked so-so, thinking of taking Troy and the 7 points

I think a parlay a week with money you can lose is fine. I mean think about it, you bet 20 bucks a week on parlays you will prb come out close to even. The price of entertainment.

You are mistaken there. 9 times out of 10, you won't come out even. This is especially true now that the season is 8 weeks in, lines are extremely sharp and there is no wiggle room like earlier in the season

Depends on your win %. If you can find something that works 55% to 60% of the time, then you're coming out ahead - considering 3 team max parlay.

Even better if you have a bookie that doesn't understand correlated parlays.

For the average Joe, parlays are -EV.

Look where Pinnacle leans to 1 side of the line with their pricing. Ex: anything less than 1.952 on 1 side of the line. When looking at this it also helps to know what line other books have the game at as well.

I rarely see anyone doing 2 team parlays. Pretty much all 3 teams +

Ohh okay. I'm still not sure how to use that information in an analysis of a line. Should I lean to bet lines that have the odds lower than 1.952?
