Well, I'd be more confused than anything if Indy won FIRST THING, since they play in the last game of the day.

So how much you putting down on the jags and buffalo???

What does your % to win something have to do with your likelihood to play it??

It's all relative to what you risk to what you can win.

It's probably close to 5% if you buy over $7,000 worth of lotto tickets each time

definitely not $2250. I meant on the first half of your dumb bet. ill make a combo ticket with Buf, Jkv and Ind, and I bet I win more than you do

So I do a 4-team ML parlay putting down $2250

PHI - gimme game
DEN - Peyton + Sunday night football + Revenge - Mathis = WIN
CHI - That offense at home against inexperience Bills - Byrd = WIN
Pats - Healthy Gronk + stud secondary + gimpy Wallace + whole offseason for Belichick to plan = WIN

Payoff is $4943.51

Now, I drop $4900 on an 8 team ML parlay including the above 4 games, but adding 

STL
KC
WAS
DET

I'm not nearly as confident about these four as my original for, but they all seem likely to win straight up.

Total payoff on 8-teamer is $96,464.64

Total take home $96,464.64 + $4943.51 = $101,408.15




And if the 8-team loses, I still walk away with a cool $43.51 to buy some dinner 

Sound good?

Matty

FAIL

a -$7,000 to start off the season, and not even $43.00 left for a dinner at Applebee's.......

So, another $7,000 for this schmuck? I'd be willing to wager this guy didn't have $7.00 let alone $7,000 to wager on anything...

Let's do a simple math equation.....

You being a "toolbag"

Simple math people - hey "Matty" whatever, come on here and prove me wrong.....,.
I'm calling you out as a "fake toolbag".......
Prove me wrong...........

His description didn't even make sense.  How can you use your winnings on a first parlay to later fund a second parlay when the two parlays contain some of the same games?

He's from the Honey Boo Boo school of handicapping.
