A parlay has exactly the same vig as the individual bets that comprise the parlay. You have to know that.

PARLAY THERE IS NO JUICE UNLESS U TAKE LIKE TWO -300 OR SOMETHING

I'm not talking about whether it was +$ or -$, just in general that the price you get on a parlay is not as close to the true odds, than a straight bet.

There is always juice, even on a 100-1 shot. Books are not giving you true odds on ANYTHING (outside of behind the line in craps), and I believe on parlays it's worse than straight bets. But again, as I said, I am no pro, and perhaps I am not explaining/understanding it properly.

This was entertaining at first. Now it's just sad. If you want your highest odds of making it out there; Go all in twice and then play responsibly. May I suggest WV ml as your first play.

Don't tell the pro how to run his operation:

Hay CG I have a question, Why dont you get a job at a sports book for now and still bet baseball at 550 a game while waiting for your major sport FOOTBALL then start hitting it hard.

As you have said FOOTBALL is your sport dont waste your bomb plays on BASKETBALL

I don't really make picks but since you asked I think WVU is a very good play. Tough team to blow out and playing very well.

WIZ losers of 3 straight flying all the way back from the West Coast.

Although you are correct in wanting to fade the reeling Pacers...

First home game back from the road i s usually an automatic fade for a young and inconsistent team like Washington.

the bs is done now.. it's wake up time and its time for the pro to go to work

im either dropping a 4K bomb on the Shockers now or I am splitting up 2.2K/2K on the shockers and 2.2K/2K on the mountaineers

You are picking a coin toss game for your bomb

Notre Dame can easily win outright just as Wichita St could

I'll be rooting for Wichita as a fan of the mid majors. Hope it works out. Stephen Noyer has a free pick with writeup supporting the Irish, however. Take it for what it's worth. I'll def. be on WVU.

https://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=7746#capper

This deep into the tournament the handicap isn't to fade but to back play-on teams. I like Wichita State. But I like Notre Dame better in this spot and matchup.

The Irish have won seven in a row, but have yet to produce an "A" game in the NCAA Tournament just getting past Northeastern and Butler. They are due for a really strong performance - and I see it happening here.

Notre Dame hasn't lost the past 28 times it has shot better from the field than its opponent. The Irish hit 50.9 percent of their shots from the floor. That's No. 2 in the nation. Wichita State makes 44.6 percent of its field goals.

Duke and North Carolina couldn't stop Notre Dame in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. ACC teams have been playing very well in the tournament proving once again how strong the conference is. The Irish have shown a knack for stepping up when playing extremely strong competition. They are 7-1 versus the rest of the teams still left in the tournament.

I like the Irish's offense better than any team. The Shockers have an excellent backcourt, but Notre Dame has an excellent backcourt, too, plus a size advantage up front. Irish senior guard Jerian Grant is one of the best in the country. Pat Connaughton, Zach Auguste and Demetrius Jackson all average in double figures along with Grant.

There are some situational elements that should work in Notre Dame's favor, too. Right before the Irish were to play their round of 32 game, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey found out his mother had died.

Wichita State is coming off a emotional and highly-satisfying victory against in-state rival Kansas, a school that would not play the Shockers in the past. Even with a few days since that victory, it's going to be difficult for the Shockers to fully come down from that high and refocus. They had been after Kansas for a long time and finally nailed the Jayhawks.

The Shockers also have to deal with another distraction as reports surfaced this week that Alabama is trying to woo away Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall offering more than $3 million.
