re: Daily Betting Thread - Bunch of 2's for the date edition

I surely hope no one takes the leafs money line tonight.

High C did
Brave soul my friend. A back to back road travel after getting their dicks kicked around the ice by the worst team in the league. Plus the Blue Jackets have actually been hot and playing well.

i'm back in for round 2

In a last ditch effort trying to get some good mojo going I'm gonna try my hand at Round Robin's on about 6-7 picks today & only betting 3's & 4's.

I have had some pretty good success betting money-line parlays with round-robins. You can make a few bucks and there isn't a ton of risk. I knew I had been doing well, but I just went back and looked and I hadn't realized how well I had been doing on these. In the last week, I have gone 8-8, 6-7, 6-6, 7-7, 5-7, 4-5, 7-7, 6-7, 5-5

Last night, I did an 8-team ML parlay and hit all of them. I had these teams:

Drake, Middle Tennessee, South Carolina State, Liberty, Syracuse, North Carolina, Samford, and Marshall.

They were all about 6-10 point favorites. Most were at home, but some were on the road. The odds were all between -220 and -700. Anything much above -700 isn't going to do a lot of good. If you pick a bunch of 15-point favorites, then of course you aren't going to make much money at all.

I looked at each matchup to see which teams had been playing well and who had been struggling and felt pretty comfortable picking just the winner of each game.

There is a certain amount of luck involved. Syracuse and Samford both survived shots at the buzzer that would have beaten them. But the teams that were supposed to win won when all was said and done.

I bet $10 on just the 8-team parlay. That bet returned $61.47.

As for the round-robin, when you get up to 8 teams, you are at like 250 total bets, so that can get expensive. It depends on what you are comfortable wagering.

I think I ended up betting 20 cents per bet on the RR by 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's, and 7's. My total bet was $49.40 on these and the return was $132.32.

When I am doing a 6 or 7 team parlay, I increase my bet to like 50 cents per bet. I know there would be better money if I bet more (duh), but I still haven't pulled the trigger on this because I really don't want to invest over $100 and then have it be "that day" when crazy shite happened with upsets and there I am on the hook for all of it.

So altogether, last night I bet $59.40 to win $193.76--a profit of about $134. If you bet more on the RR's, you could profit more.

In general, when I bet like this, I find that if 1 of the games misses, I turn a small profit overall (like $5-10). If 2 miss, then I lose about half of the total original bet. But in the last 11 times I have bet at least 5 teams on a money-line parlay, I have missed 2 legs only 1 time.

So basically, I have found this to be the best way to pick up a few sure dollars on most days and avoid major losses on 1 bet. Might be worth a try if you are looking for something simple.

HOW IT WORKS:
Bet $25+ on the Michigan State Spartans vs Iowa Hawkeyes spread
Win or lose, get a Free Bet equal to the point total of your team’s top scorer

---

Going off of this promo, you've gotta take Iowa. Not sure if Iowa covers the 6, but their top scorer Keegan Murray is avg 23.4 ppg

So bet $25 on Iowa. if they lose maybe you get a +$20 free bet

I like arky and nova as a two team teaser to get each more points. I just don’t think either gets blown out

Looks like you can do both around +6 and get even money

How we feeling about Buffalo -5? Is there an injury or something there?

It's a tuesday, why not get a little wild to spice up the day?

Both are in the top 5 of the standings. When it comes to soccer and you're not sure what to bet, just go with a draw. Works most of the time
