Your house is worth 10 grand?

books wont allow that bet for two reasons :

1) they dont allow parlays on on sporting events

2) those two bets are a related contingency.

sorry

sorry

It's morning, and no coffee yet, but huh?

Maybe not for those amounts, but am I missing something by your post?

I've never wagered on a non sporting event, so I'm certainly not saying you are wrong, but I'm just not familiar with non sporting bets.........I've certainly seen and been rejected trying to parlay a side and a total in the same game, and thought it stupid.

You absolutely never made that play online, I know that much............

Its just joke- and yes it is correlated parlay, and true no book will likely take a wager that big on a non-sporting event and because it is a correlated parlay

This is for all those people who create posts such as:

"IM DOWN 8000 GRAND NEED WINNER"

"LOOKING TO WIN MY KIDS BACK ON THIS ONE...NEED HELP"

This ones for you...Mr. "I can't control my betting habit and I suck at handicapping, getting me in a huge hole every monday morning" guy.

The funny part also is that NEITHER are going to win. Hurt Locker is winning best picture and Bigelow is going to win best director. Besides wtf is 10 to win 13? James Cameron is +350 to win best director and Avatar is a small dog for best picture.

Massive fail
