My question for you GREAT CAPPERS out there is... Should I book the bet my self or should I bet it with Vegas? 
 
Does he have a chance to win?
 


West Virginia - 7 winner
Clemson -3  winner

Iowa St. +22 loser       GL on whatever you decided

Clemson -3 is a great play Spiller and Davis trashed this d just a season ago on way to posting 31 points and Clemsons qb is a smart signal caller 12 tds to 0 ints.  So if GT sells out they will get burnt all day by the speedy recievers of Clemson.
 
Personally
 
Clemson -3
Baylor +16.5
UCLA SU
 
would be my advice
 
UCLA is 2-0 in conference averaging 40 +pts a game; Oregon State is 0-1 after losing last week 44-32.
 
Baylor has not lost by more than 10 points the last 3 meetings and this is the second year under thier HC that kept this game to a 10 point contest last season.  If Miami a nonpassing team can post huge numbers on this d and Fresno State can send the game into overtime I expect Baylor to keep this game closer than 17.
 
Clemson will win by 10.

No one on this whole thread answered this guys question right and heres what you do ---First off we have multiple games and days played on and time factors so ---tonight you place 1100.00 on w vagina to win -7     ----if that hits then you play an if bet ----you put all the money on Iowa state say 2000.00 to win and if that wins they take 3900.00 lets say and the roll it the clemson win , it starts an hour after the Iowa st game so if Iowa st goes down you and the better lose but if it wins then like 3900 goes to the clemson bet leaving you more then the 6000.00 you need to pay him and you keep like 1700.00 for yourself if i have the numbers right =====go check it out and ask the casino or the guy at the ticket window the true payouts but this is a great postioon for you with only risking a 100.00 dollars

i would wait till tommorrow and if West Va is good then go place $500 on a two teamer so that would pay $1,300 so that if he does go 3-0 then you are only on the hook for 5k of it. I agree with the rest the odds are in your favor though, but the prospect of loss is high. i personally would wait for tommorrow and see if tonight is good first and then depending on your ablility to pay the 6k hedge accordingly. if you would struggle to cover it and west va is good tonight then take the whole 1k to the casino and bet the two teamers so that you are only on the hook for 3k but if you can handle it no problem i would wager 500 on the 2 teamers so that like i said earlier you are only on the hook for 5k of it. or you could place 500 on the three teamer and be on the hook for 3k if it hits and pocket 500 if none of them hit, either wa GL to you

Can you afford to lose if you book it and it hits? If your asking I don't think so.

Remember though that a 3 team parlay that pays 6-1 requires a payout of $7000.....$6000 in winnings and the original $1000 back.

Although in your scenario, you could start with the $1100 bet and gross roughly $7292 if you take the $100 back after winning on WVU.....so you are really laying $100 on WVU to win $292, which is not a bad way to go....but you better be certain all games are decided by the time the other starts or it could be big trouble.

Ok i forgot about the 1000.00 back with 6000.00 win for a second there but the timing on these games my way still gets Barrelman 700.00 with out losing a ton of cash if the whole thing wins ...and only 100.00 risk

 

 

And i think your wrong about something, the if bet on the Iowa st game only goes to the clemson game after the iowa st game is official and it doesnt matter that the clemson game already started an hour later it still a bet or if Iowa st loses theres no bet ,and thats that

If you got the money to cover if it hits, then take it, you can also hedge for yourself if going into the last game(s) it is looking like he will.

so hers the deal
 
1100.00 risk on WV tronight --iam going to go the trail that it all wins theory --
 
take 100.00 back now you have 2000.00
 
put 2000.00 on an if bet to win 1890.00 on the Iowa st game and the clemson game starts an hour after the iowa st game but if iam right you still can put an if bet with those two games and it only rolls to the clemson game if Iowa st wins ---
 
so then 3890.00 would be rolled onto the clemson bet and when that games is over you either lose your whole bank or you get back     7670.00 and he pays out 7000.00 and keeps   670.00

At -110, a $2000 bet will win you only $1818 (unless I am miscalculating)......and a $3818 bet will win you $3470.........which will give you gross proceeds of $7288......so you win $288 all said and done....

Good point on the "if win" angle...I missed that in your original post.

Never gamble with someone else's money, and don't take action if you can't pay. If you elect to try then please have a seat at my table and choose a weapon. When you lose, and can't pay just point it at your head and pull the trigger.

if you have the cash to payout, do it yourself, its hard enough to win one game, let alone all 3, can it happen of course it can, but odds are in your favor.....
