Parlay help for a Rookie

detroitguy311 · Nov 11, 2008

I just had to re-deposit some money.. I'm so close to raking it's making me sick. I'm 0-3 on parlays from this weekend but I picked some good ones and lost all my parlays by one game.

Parlay 1: 9 game 1 unit to win 12
Western Michigan beats Indiana.. had the ML. Heart breaker when Juice throws the bomb and then they stall and don't gain one more yard down by 6.

Parlay 2: 7 game 1 unit to win 9
Vanderbilt loses to Florida by 28 instead of 24. o_0

Parlay 3: 5 game 1 unit to win 20
Raptors -3
Titans ML
Carolina ML
Colts ML
Eages -3. I wouldn't be so mad about the Eagles game except that fuckin' bullshit call on the Eli/ line of scrimmage debacle. That was such a horseshit call... I can't believe thats the rule.. it should be where the ball leaves his hand.. but it happened.

I just started doing parlays last week when I saw how nice the payout was. Anybody have any tips as far as what I'm doing wrong.. or maybe what your past experiences have been with parlays? Are the sucker bets or should I make better picks instead of more picks? Any vets with any good advice would be appreciated.

I would have posted what Viking did, but since he did..I won't

Believe it or Not, I will Throw a Parlay up.. ( VD hates when I say that )

Anyway, I ONLY do it when I'm up pretty good for the week.
Maybe a $200 or $300 Parlay ( 3 teams )
But AGAIN, when I'm up BIG.

Now, Look back at your Parlays....and Think about All the MONEY you Threw out the Door. IF ONLY, you bet ALL Those games Straight Up !

Makes sense... I guess I'm doing more gambling with my money when I should be straight up making good picks... getting up and then gambling. Thanks for the post.
