What's up guys? This is my 1st time posting in here...

Does this sound lame to you??

I took down an online poker tournament a few days ago.... I got 880.00 left.. I was thinking about transferring it over to the sportsinteraction betting site...

I was going to play 2 separate bets..I'm not calling KY an absolute lock ML but it's pretty close right?

Bet # 1   UK - ML
              KU - ML    440.00 = 966.04 total pay out

Bet # 2   UK-ML
              NC -ML    440.00 = 1146.65 total payout

so basically 1st bet is 86.00 profit      and 2nd bet would be 266 profit

Not big $ any means obv.. But all of this is from a 20 deposit a few months ago on the poker site.. I look at it like any profit is good profit... 

How safe % wise is this play?  Will KY shit the bed?

No idea where you are coming up with those odds for a ML parlay. I don't like it anyway. Too much risk for very little value.

"Total Payout" ... including original bet. Got it, still don't like it.

KY is too tough... It's like someone offering you either 86.00 for free or 266.00 ... even though its not alot you would still take the $$...right?

I like them ML as well, but gambling is gambling. Shit happens. Ask Missouri or Duke. I guess I am just not big on huge risk, little reward. And if KY loseses ... DOH!!!! Gambling is about value for me. Seen enough crazy shit happen.

Yes I agree with the both of you.. Gonna roll the dice anyway... Going to add Tiger Woods to win outright to make the payout a little more profitable..

why bother with the parlay?

why not just bet KY ML 880 to win 220

You are misequating the word bush with stupid. Taking big favorites on the moneyline is a shortcut to the poor house.  And parlaying them makes it even worse.

That is a better option from a ML perspective..  Just take KY -8 for 220 to win 200 if you are looing to win 200.  Better yet, just put the whole think on KY.  You did say you are playing with house money right?  Pound it!

Why don't you put it all on UK moneyline?



That parlay makes no sense.
