My customary early week long shot parlay...

Cal ML; Wake ML; Central Michigan +20.5 (that team is LEGIT!!! LOL I kid I kid); Okie State ML; Buckeyes-14.5. Pays 7x.

On the NFL side, I put in a parlay on Browns+10; Chiefs ML; Bills+10; Cowboys ML. Pays 5x.

Both small fun bets. There's no straight lines I'm crazy over at this point. I'm sure I'll find my way to some action though. lol

I don't like many lines either but I like Troy/Ark State over 61.5, not mainstream but that's what I like hahaha

I haven't followed either team this year enough to have a feel on that one. I did well with over/unders last weekend though. Were some of the only bets I hit. :-/
 
Off to a 2-0 start for the weekend with Eagles/over and memphis/under teasers both hitting last night. Tonight I'm on a Penn St ML/Cal+3. I think they both win outright, but took the +3 on cal instead of a 1.2x payout.
 
I've been hot with the props lately so I might just keep riding them... last night I had Jimmy Graham over 2.5 catches (win), Wentz under 265.5 passing yards (win), rodgers under 2 TD passes (push) and miles sanders over 19.5 yards receiving (loss), so I went 2-1-1. I took all of them because they all have even/+ odds except for sanders

I see cal as -4.5 right now, did you do a teaser?
 
Yeah, my book has Cal at -4 so I did a 7 point teaser which brought them to + 3 and basically made Penn state a moneyline. I was originally going to put a ML parlay in on them, but decided I'd rather have 3pts on Cal than a 1.2x payout.

Never tease through zero. It’s on the list of gambling rules.
 
2-1 so far. Had Eagles +10 and Navy over 20,5 winners, AC Milan was the looser for me.

The ones that I like
ISU over 30 @ Baylor
Washington+Under 60,5
Texans -4,5
Chiefs -0,5 1Q
Chiefs -6,5

I have a bunch others that I'll throw a little money just to get some action going, but those are the ones that I feel good about.

Disagree. I do agree it generally never makes sense to buy a line across zero. But in this case, I basically wanted to bet on PSU and Cal to win outright tonight but not have to cover. I wanted to parlay them so I don't pay big juice on the MLs if one were to lose. Once I went to put that in, I realized I could either have a ML parlay to pay 1.2x or I could do it as a 7pt teaser and have PSU ML and Cal+3. Decided I'd rather have the 3pts in case that game ends up close with Cal on the losing end, instead of the small payout difference. I'm no professional gambler, by any means, but that makes perfect sense to me.

Chiefs line seems low to me. The Lions stink.

I think all the 12pm home teams handle business.

I took OU, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin to all cover at 12pm. I think this is just one of those Saturdays.

I was 3 for 3 last night so I got the mojo going. (Won Duke, PSU and Harvard)
