slightly ashamed to admit........................
I'm kinda STILL.....a sucker for the ML parlay...
BUT.....it's tough usually to find 3-4 quality ML bets at the same time .....this is what I use the open parlay for usually.....and the best is often the 2H play......or in-game betting.......and I ain't risking $300-500 bucks to win $100
EXAMPLE ....
Let's say Week 1...Bama is down maybe 17-10 to Michigan at halftime....could happen
*no shocker at all if Michigan comes up with a crazy scheme that takes Bama by surprise....early that is...DR breaks a few
the 2H line is maybe Bama -8' or so......which is (assuming no key injuries)....a good bet on it's own
OR......what do you think the chances are that Bama continues to get their ass kicked?.....close to zero?
IF......Michigan got the lead thru Bama mistakes....or lucky/fluky plays....I will start a parlay for between $500-$1000....with that Bama 2H ML play (-400 or whatever).....leaving 3-4 spots open
*if somehow Bama is down more...wager maybe increases.....if Michigan is actually moving the ball well (sustaining long drives)....maybe less
I usually have a few going at all times.....started doing it in CBB and boxing....occasionally also a little MMA mixed in with MLB.....as I usually make very few straight bets in anything but FB....> so bored to death .....but need action
*boxing ML parlays are HIGHLY recommended.....as the guys that make $$$.....won't lose....especially if it
goes to a decision.....just decide if the heavy underdog
has KO power to end it early......>and no I though Pacquiao was too risky....
a few examples......admittedly amateurish.....but building up a nice bankroll..........and killing time.........
