What is the best way to play a parlay with only one game left?

jateeluv · Sep 28, 2003

I have a huge parlay (8 teamer) at Pinny going with only GB left at -190.

Since this win would be 15x of my starting bankroll for the day I want to guarantee it.

I want to play Chicago on some plays...but I want to make it so I could possibly win both sides but at least guarantee I'll get the 15x of my starting bankroll.

I was thinking get the best Chicago play plus the points.

another option would be just let it ride..as I am currently at 8x my bankroll from what I started today.

What can anyone suggest...

Well if you play anything else; or hedge as they say, you cannot get your 15x the money. you can only guarantee your self a win or break even. duh?

you could bet 1/2 on the bears +4.
you'll have a nice shot at a middle
if gb wins by a fg.

If i didn't make myself clear, i meant to say 15x of my starting role which is what I will get if i win the parlay. Right now I'm at 7x of my starting bankroll for the day. So if i just let it ride..i will still have 7x of my starting br. So i could guarantee that 15x if i wanted to or if i let it ride i would get it to 22x my starting roll of course if i won..

Take the guaranteed 15x. Favre is not the greatest road QB.

lets talk money, how much is at stake?

Play 30% of your 15x on Chicago. If you hit your parlay you win 70%, if you don't you still get 30%.

It all depends on how good you feel about Green Bay.

You're in a good spot. I think there's a couple things you should consider. What do you think of the game? Can the Bears win the game outright and put Green Bay's record at 1-3? I think it might be a good idea to take some +4 with the Bears. Then I have two other suggestions.

#1- Watch the first half and you may have a chance for a half-time play that could work in your favor.

#2- This one's a bit different but you might find it to be another option. You could play a few teasers by taking the Bears up to 10, 10 1/2 or 11 and wheel them up to some games you like next week.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you well tonight.

Good question, you're in a good spot. My advice is screw the points.. Weeks 1,2,3 had 1 su winner/ ats loser. There were 2 this week. This game will not be a GB su winner/ ats loser based upon odds over twenty years of nfl games.
Play a little something on the Bears su, shop around if you have to, you might can find +180 or better.
If you want to hedge, figure on what you want back if the Bears were to win, divide by the ml amount you get. Of course its not gambling then, LOL..
