i would just play them all seperate for 2 units each or so.  don't chase it sucks when you hit 3 or 4.,  and have no profit

300 nets me 2400...

i deal with a local book on credit and am down about 1500. Syracuse screwed me yesterday....fishy lines are fishy for a reason.

I was maybe even thinking about doing the same exact parlay but with the lakers ML rather than the magic, and denver ML, just for security...

the other guys seem like a lock, no?

Good grief, just pay off the $1,500 you owe and stop digging yourself an even deeper hole.  I'm sorry, but you're not going to win today.

i would advice on just capping the games you like and playing them seperate dude.  if you get back 500 or 600 today by going 3-0, or 3-1.  it is a lot better than taking a lose and hitting 3  or 4 games..  but it is your call.  everyone easily know the lakers are the better team than orlando.,  if d howard get in foull trouble good night probably unless vince carter goes for 50+ pts./  so i like lakers +2 pts or lakers ml would be the most profitable bet in the long run,  but just best it straight,  no parlays. lakers have lost two games in a row., i had a terrible saturday overall though.,you may want to fade me..  and am only playing that game and am going to sleep through it and just look at the box score.    hope you get a nice chunk out of the down today.  good luck   taking a break with college bball until the touney..  the first round you can find some really good matchups., i can't wait  !!!

Not lately.  Since they met in L.A. on January 18th, the Magic have gone 17-5 SU & 13-8-1 ATS.  Meanwhile the Lakers are only 14-8 SU & 9-12-1 ATS.  The Magic are a beast at home when seeking revenge for a road loss and the Lakers are just terribly overrated on the road.  This line should be -7.5.

bator,  what i meant was that the lakers are the more talented and better overall team.  and i think they beat the magic more times then they lose to them home or away.   they have more talent and better players.,  you can admit that.,  magic have nelson, carter, & howard.,  kobe, gasol, artest, odom, bynum, and the rest of em, are still the champs until the cavs take it from them.   ha

No, actually, I can't.

You forgot Rashard Lewis.  And who's "the rest of 'em" for the Lakers?  The ancient Derek Fisher?  The unsteady Jordan Farmar?  The seldom-useful Josh Powell?  Shannon Brown?  D.J. Mbenga?  Who?  Orlando's bench is a lot better.

i dont often parlay, but ive won the last 4 weeks in a row so i said what the hell and went for the knockout punch in the 12th rd...

i especially dont like the espn article that claims kobe got in their faces yesterday. if this means that he will try and take the game over by his lonesome, well, i appreciate that and believe that will play into the magic's advantage.

anyways, i appreciate the insight, and yes parlays are risky, but 1500 hurts but does not completely devastate me considering ive won the last 4 weeks or so....

BOL to all!

The Vegas odds are not so much a measure of who they think is the better team, but rather a measure of who they think the public feels is the better team.  Also, the Lakers figure to have the lowest odds because they're right there with Cleveland for the homecourt advantage in the Finals.
