Risk $1,000  to win $26,360


Thoughts and opinions are appreciated!

You probably have debt because you make 4 team parlays for $1,000!  Why not take them straight with the points for $250 each?

round robin with kty, florida, and Notre Dame ML thrown in

 

Risking 1050 USD To Win 8032 USD.

 

35 parlays of 4 teams.

 

that way if one or more of your games shits the bed you are still in the ball game.

I will go out on a limb here and predict that 98% of the peeps here also have some form of debt.  Actually, make that 99%.

You sound like everyone here is retired and loaded.  Come on man, get real.

don't do it under any circumstance....Butler is the only team I like in that situation....that's a shot in the dark type of play...if you just want to waste money put $100 on it and test your skillz....that's still a nice pay off it you hit....slow, methodical and sound is the way to go....judgement in haste will decide your final fate toward poverty.

Thank you. 


I'm sorry but Sims comment was just about one of the most outlandish statement I have heard.

Words of wisdom.  Perhaps I will take a small stab at it and see what happens.

Bad reasoning is no justification for not following fantastic advice.

A safe one with great payout to me would be would be

UCLA +113
George Mason +100
Arizona -240
UNLV -145
Washington -240
BYU -430

$1000 pays $16,805.35

And to the retard saying don't pay with debt, learn someones situation before you spout off after they say they have debt and shouldn't be betting.

Betting is fine as long as you got your debt situation under control
