Bears could win this SU but they'll cover. This is probably a field goal game.

I tend to fade the national media dickriding team in nationally televised games like this though fwiw.

teasers and parleys are sucker bets... something fun to do for minimal money on the side, but make you bread and butter just straight up bets and you will be much happier in the long run

They got it in the bag.

Saturday I've got NCSU +18, Wake +7, SCar -4, and Navy +20.

Why dont you have Clemson -4 then? hahah

and I totally agree they should, but I just have a really bad feeling. You know how so many undefeated teams lose when they arent expected to and it clears up the BCS picture for the others teams? This feels like that... Texas Tech +29 but beats Oklahoma. Clemson -4...?

teasers are suckers bets typically, but parlays pay true odds.

Wacky last 5 minutes and OT for WKU +6 and +200, if anyone else bet on this game.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/boxscore?gid=201110290103

-

^^^Assuming by "true odds" you mean standard juice, then it depends on the parlay. Standard juice is -110 for individual tickets and +260 for two-team parlays.

If you risked $110 on a two-team parlay, you'd end up with $110 + ($110 * 2.6) = $396

But if you let $110 ride on two individual tickets and won both, you'd end up with $401:


first bet: $110 to win $100
second bet: $210 to win $191
$210 + $191 = $401


So by playing a two-team parlay you're leaving money on the table. Of course, two-team parlays still serve a purpose when the two games are being played at the same time.

However:

Three-team parlays are usually +600.

If you risk $110 on a three-team parlay and it wins, you end up with $110 + $660 = $770

And if you let $110 ride on three individual tickets and won all three, you'd end up with only $765:

first bet: $110 to win $100
second bet: $210 to win $191
third bet: $401 to win $364
$401 + $364 = $765


So you actually make $5 more with the three-team parlay. The three-team parlays have slightly less-than-standard juice, but two-team parlays have higher juice.*

I'm definitely not suggesting you should stop playing straight tickets and only bet three-team parlays though, because it forces you to bet more conservatively, which slows your growth. (I can show my work on this too, if someone doesn't believe it).





*parlays of more than 3 teams also have higher juice, you can do that work yourself.

^^ Can't argue with that. I thought I'd seen the two teamer worked out to exact odds before but I guess not. Anyway, they are relatively close to "true" odds so not quite the suckers bet that many people think they are. The three teamer like you pointed out is actually a bit better than true odds.

Whew I had GT +3.5 last night that was one of those "there's no fucking way GT is going to cover this spread so I guess I have to bet on it because Vegas isn't stupid."
