As noted in the title, a special Thread for sole purpose of posting 2TeamParlays, using any combination of sports.

Inspired by SoonerDawg and my own interest in the Power of the 2TeamParlay.

For record keeping in this here thread, I suggest the following three steps based on my own experience with my on and off again "2Teamer o' the Day" threads over this past year

a) overall w/l record for selections....Thus for each 2TP you'll be either 2-0, 1-1 or 0-2

b) overall w/l record for the parlays themselves

c) Avg price risked per selection

The last one is important because it helps better measure the "value" of your overall selections.

If you're "55%" on Selections at -110, for example - you're going to likely be ahead after enough plays

However, if you're avg price risked is more like +110, you can actually pick a bit under 50% and still come out ahead.

Here's the link to a Parlay Calculator if you'd like to more easily translate your personal wagers to a 1.0 core unit size

goddamn, i got drunk last night. anyways:

#1: eagles/colts U36 1/2, browns/lions O38

#2: cubs/dodgers U8 1/2, mariners/indians U9

#3: N.Y Giants +2 1/2, Bucs +3

see if i can go 1-2. getting around late today, try to put a little more thought into this tomorrow. by the way, for purposes of my study, i am grading these all as -110, unless i get something substantially different, then i'll mention it. 10 dollar bets to win 25 on all parlays. there's gonna be some folks kissing my ass.

only i could wind up on the wrong side of a game that ended 2 days ago. don't know how that happened, must have been skimming an old service thread.

1-2 with the 2 teamers. throw about 5 or 6 of these up tomorrow, see how it goes. if the browns game had gone over i might have tried to see if i could avoid getting called out by claiming 1-1.....to keep pace with bar my bet sizes are $1 to win $2.5

anyways, +.50

I had actually intended for this Thread to show all 2TPs I publicly post anywhere on Rx....(NFL, NBA or whatever forums)...So I need to add a couple I listed in the "PoliticoPundit MLB thread".

I keep pretty good records at home and I can tell by looking at my bottom line wagering accounts that I'm doing well for past six weeks. But I don't mind consolidating it here for our shared interest.

EDIT - (adding in the three posted 2TPs from PPundit thread of Sat Aug 22)

FLA +165
NYY -153

------------
LAD -1.5 (+175)
COL -1.5 (+110)

-------
LAA -1.5 (+135)
TB -1.5 (+130)
