Okay guys, dug a hole again and need help please...
down 3k to the man...have 4 5 teamers pending (all 50 for 1000). Meaning I have hit all the early plays
First has one play pending=sf pk
Second has two plays pending=sf pk and sf under 41
Third has two plays pending= sf pk and sd +10
Fourth has two plays pending=sf pk and sd +10.

most current sf line and total are same and sd is now +8 (small potential for middle).

i can't tease or do open parlays with my guy.

PLEASE PLEASE WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS DO?

I'm thinking about riding first game out and seeing what happens. But I really can't afford the 3k right now--meaning I need your help in figuring out the best way I can minimize my losses or maximize my earnings!

Im in looking for any unseen angles like playing the first half of the first game on Carolina big and going from there but you guys have helped me before. If you have anytime or patience, your feedback is REALLY and TRULY appreciated! Thanks guys!

Your problem is pretty simple, STOP GAMBLING!!! You are obviously betting way over your head if u can't afford to lose, that's the harsh reality

No disrespect meant but I think your gambling style needs a chafe or you will continue lose. You might hit a teaser or parlay once in awhile, but all you are doing is contributing to the mans returner. When I booked ( did it off and on about 12 years ) can tell you we never looked at a parlay/teaser sheet till either all the games were over or the next day. If my memory is correct we would 90% of those plays NEVER lost money on them. Your odds are better swallowing your pride and not trying to get it all back tomorrow. Pick a side or total and stck with it. Limit the plays, your putting up to much risk. GL with what ever u do

Other than the obvious in taking Carolina at the game at pk or better for at least 200 to hedge your parlay outlay there is no real "angle". You could hedge more to insure a win, but I know I don't need to go over all of those scenarios as you must have gone over it over and over again.

Other than "stop gambling", "change your style", etc. First put $1100 on Carolina, and hope that SF wins a low scoring game. Then reassess after the first game.

Lol 4 parlays pending in one day. ..I think I played 1 parlay the whole 2013 season and I gambled everyday. Like the guys say, stop gambling cause even if you win today, you're just gonna get yourself in trouble in the near future

Agreed. The worst thing for you is if you win these because the. You'll think you can do it again. We all have learned how not to do it along the way. You probably won't stop until you lose a lot based off what I see. GL I hope you listen to the wisdom of people who have been there.

Did you lose 3K in Parlays? Right now as I see it you are down 3200 given if Carolina wins. I would follow advice above but do you have a limit on betting with your bookie? And is your 3rd and 4th parlay the same?

So this is how I look at it:

Win all Parlays for 4K

Lets say that you follow Tesla's advice and put 1100 to win 1000 on Carolina for a risky hedge. Your risk: reward is now

1.Bet 1.1K on Carolina (over on O/U), Win 800 (Carolina wins =+1000.00; Parlay = -200.00)
2.Bet 1.1K on Carolina (under on O/U), Win 800 (Carolina wins =+1000.00; Parlay = -200.00)
3.Bet 1.1K on Carolina (over on O/U), Lose 150 (SF Wins and Lose 1 Parlay = +950.00; Carolina Loses = -1100; Pending Parlay = 100.00)
3.Bet 1.1K on Carolina (under on O/U), Win 900 (SF Wins = +2000.00; Carolina Loses = -1100; Pending Parlay = 100.00)

Ok... thats all I am going to contribute other than the obvious which is learn from this and stop gambling for awhile. Good luck with whatever you do!

Books will tell you, if you paly side then they pay you. Play parlays and you pay them. Play teasers and they send a limo for you.

i play only parlays and longshots...after a lot of years losing i found out that calling the games correctly and not winning $ is just as enjoyable as winning $, believe it or not.
i still play nothing but parlays but now it's only for a buck or 2...the win is just as enjoyable and the loss is completely bearable.
your situation requires a 4-team pleaser for just a little enough money to cover your losses and no more, the odds are bigger...if you win, you're even' if you lose, you're where you're at anyway...then when it's over you don't have to stop playing, just make it for rediculously small amounts...you'll dig it just as much.
don't gamble for a living, work for a living, gamble for fun.

GAME.

A lot of my posts don't get posted, is it because I'm stupid?!?

i tried to thank everyone for their constructive feedback even the "don't gamble!" Which are actually the most accurate!

however, I'm a risk taker by nature and have a "strategy" where I play my favorites straight up for $50 and when I really like games I throw them in parlays. And it hasn't destroyed me to date. When I say I can't afford to lose 3k, I really mean, I don't want to! I have it, just don't want to give it to the man!

anyway, thanks to those who try to help. This forum is full of good people!

Looks like you hit 2 of them and now just need SD for the other 2.

Wow!!!! This working well. Now down $1200, with the two 5 teamers pending needing sd +10 to win $2k. And the line has dropped to Denver -7.5 which I'm gonna lay 500 on and buy down to 6.5 and have a great middle!

I know some of you will make fun of me, but I love it!
