    ***SHALL WE PARLAY??? WEEK #11***

    SHALL WE PARLAY (progressively; of couse), OR JUST TEASE +6?

    I am doing ALOT of homework to make up for last
    weekend's Total DISASTER!!! :puke:

    12 out of 12 is what I see as Total redemption and
    I'm going to give it my Best!!! :thumbs:

    I'll get 1-2 wrong :bang:; but Hey; 9 out of
    12 pays 3 to 1; and that's better than a sharp
    sticl in the EYE, ain't it? :beer2:

    Best 2 ya,,,

    Bombs Away!!!

    Just dropped my first Big "ole 12 Pick
    Progressive Parlay Ticket:

    ARIZONA +3
    SYRACUSE +7 1/2
    NORTHWESTERN +5
    WESTERN MICHIGAN -12 1/2
    TEXAS A&M +20
    UTAH +20
    WYOMING +7
    MICHIGAN STATE -3
    MARSHALL +3
    NEW MEXICO STATE +19
    PITTSBURGH -6 1/2
    EAST CAROLINA +5

    And remember, I think 2 are 3 UNIT locks:

    NORTHWESTERN +5
    EAST CAROLINA +5

    Progressive Parlay: 9 out of 12 still pays 3 to 1.

    Good Luck this weekend!!! :thumbs:

      JMED - I am confused about this. What is the advantage to hitting 9 out of 12 and having it pay 3 to 1? If I hit 9 out of 12 at equal units that is 5.4 to 1. and 8 is still 3.6 to 1.

      Am I missing something?

        Well, I'm GREEDY!!!

        I'm just playing down my HUBRIS and being modest. :nono:

        I'm a GREEDY "BEE"!!! :hugegrin:

        Trust me, I'm going for 12 out of 12 that pays 900 to 1!!!

        And 11 out of 12 plays pays 80 to 1,,,a simple $5 bet become $4500 or $400 respectively. :cheers:

        I just play all that down and concede 9 out of 12 still
        pays something; and 3 to 1 is better than a sharp stick
        in the eye for sure!!! :gulp:

          I agree Franchise. I don't understand it either.

          Parlays are a sucker bet, no matter how you slice and dice it.

          And if the reasoning is ... it's just for fun, well, then, to each his own. I personally don't think its fun losing money.

          Not attacking you JMED or your plays. In fact I like many of them. Just don't understand why you play them in a giant parlay. As Franchise points out, you'd make more money playing each game separate at equal money.

          Good luck. Hit them all and make me eat crow!

                Where do you guy place wagers?

                Where I play:

                If I bet $100 each 12 games and won 9:

                9 WINS = $100 + WINS $95.25 = 195.25 X 9 = $1,757.25
                3 LOSERS, YOU LOSE ALL SO: $0

                START MONEY WAS $1200 AND END UP WITH $1757.25
                which is a $557.75 profit or 46.5% profit.

                Not bad if 9 are right; but a Progressive Parlay pays 3 to 1;
                not 1-2 on 12 plays.

                So if I risk $120 (1/10th) on a 12 Play and hit on 9,,,I win $360.

                But I didn't risk the whole $1200 on it...so it pay out alittle
                smaller. And yes, 8 out of 12 pays ZERO; so more risky.

                You lose the whole $120...

                But if I hit 10 out of 12; it pays $1200.00
                If I hit 11 out of 12; it pays $9600.00
                And goodness forbid 12 out of 12: that pays $108,000.00

                I guess it's the diffrence between buying a Stock outright
                and playing the Stock option.

                It's a gamble for sure.
