Ok, this is going to be really embarrasing, but I've hit 9 out of 10 twice, but it was years ago. Now to the bad part
It was when I was still learning about "betting", and both times I had won the 9 out of the 10 earlier on, with the 10th game pending that night. Now, we all know, that I could of bet the other side and guaranteed myself some sort of nice winnings, but that's just it, I was still a "rookie" and had no idea what~so~ever, so I rode them out and lost them both!
Me!
A buddy I work with played a "pro-line" 12 team parlay ticket through the Ontario lottery commission yesterday. When I came into work today he told me he went 12-0. When I looked at the ticket, I realized he lost all 12! That's some funny shiat. Didn't get a dime for sucking so badly though.
McIrish,
You did alright there then. A few years ago I had a perfect winner weekend on NFL in the Stations NFL contest.
Along with 121 other people.
My other entry I went opposites, except for the Monday night game..so I ended up with a 13-0 ticket and a 1-12 ticket. Second place tie in the losers bracket paid more than the tie in the winners bracket, combined the 2 tickets were not quite 500 usd.

Tab - there is a lot of luck involved. This was the Barbary Coast one and they gave out 40k a week back then. Some weeks it was like you said and there would be a lot of winners, a week with few upsets. I got lucky the week I won as there was one big game that eliminated a lot of cards. The Raiders were 5-0 and looking invincible, the Rams were 0-5 I think it was and on the road. Raiders were about a 10 point favorite if I remember right and for some reason I went with the underdog. That was the key game as the Rams beat them. Lot of smaller upsets and close games that could have gone either way that helped but that was the one that did the damage. I am in the contest again this year and not a peep out of me. LOL. Guess Lightning doesn't strike twice.
Anyway that's amazing you made more on the 1-12 card than the 13-0 card. Lot of these things are pure luck on if you win and how much if you do.

Ditto, in the long run parlays are losers so I refuse to play them. Especially since I only play moneylines. It just don't make sense or cents.

My guess is you would be down $3640 after a year betting this way. But if I were wrong.....
