YTD 0-0-0

First time Post, for me 1 unit = $10

1 unit each!

FORGET IT IM GOING TO PARLAY AND TEST MY LUCK THIS WEEK!
1 unit to win 7 units.
+9.5 Oak, +3 KC, U-37 MIN/CHI

1 unitto win 7 units again.
+9.5 STL, +3 TEN, +6.5 NO

Oak im from SD, but i think this one will go down to the wire, Oak has had 2 weeks to prepare, and everyone is all over SD from last weeks run.

KC Read the NFL week 6 discussion thread, got me convinced to go with KC

U-37 MIN/CHI Two defensive teams, can griese really throw or did he get lucky last week? Tavaris is back and peterson is coming off a bye.

STL Gus is bringing new life to them and leonard is finally fitting in, ravens offense looked terrible the past few weeks. Mcnair is throwing too much for a run team

TEN Gonna follow Horfin, no fade there! ( ARI/CAR game scares me now)

NO Theyre 0-5, Strong/Branch are out and shaun down right sucks. Should make SEA punt a lot to NO, eventually theyll get a rhythm.. RIGHT?
sorry i change my mind so much, i had a few talks with some people..

1 unit is whatever you want it to be. That's up to you.

Welcome and good luck!

to the forum GL with your plays

Parlay will put you in the hole fast. Yes they are great when they hit. You are better off betting each game by theirselves. Thus going 2-1 will still make profit. 2-1 on parlay no money. Also most parlays are tie you lose. Betting the games by theirselves tie you get your money back on a tie. Just my thoughts.

Gotta agree with Queen on this one......

Ever hear the saying that Vegas was built by parlays? (something like that)

I think the slots help, too, but anyway........

Parlays are so enticing because of the low risk, high reward aspect. But you are seriously lowering your probablity of winning because more events need to go your way.

I highly recommend straight up bets, and not a lot of them. Listen to the guys here at predictem, except me, and you'll be fine.

Actually, i'm a semi-decent college b-ball capper, ask joepa.

Other than, good luck, and avoid teasers and parlays, they eat the contents of your wallet.

alright thanks for the advice, i will probably split my bets into three then.

JohnnyMapleLeaf · #6 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007, 04:29 PM

I agree...why don't you make your units $10, and make a play on each seperately? (Now watch....the parlay will hit, lol!)

GL...I like the Rams this week!

Fura, StL hasn't covered ATS either. But Balt has no biness giving any team 10 pts. I got it at 9 1/2 as well. I just hope Gus don't run his head in the wall again.

but the difference is STL is 0-5, and BAL is 3-2 lol and BAL was favored by 10 i believe s the jets and gave that up in the end of the game..
im getting a bad feeling about ARI for some reason, so i might change that. lol
