Alright so I have a $50 Free Play on BetJamaica wondering how I should use it? I heard before from a thread I made about doing a parlay but what would you guys all do? Let me know and thanks for the input

Well you dont get the 50 back. So say you play Tenn -5 at -110. Best you can is win 45. I like parlaying Tenn-5 with Ohio State ML which will give you like +102. Meaning you get max value.

How do you do that though? Like I just go to parlay and take Tenn ML and OSU ML?

Who do you like tonight BigOrange? I have been in horrible slump my acccount is draining on BetJm haha I am going to make my first deposit with Bookmaker soon got a thing for 25% first deposit so sounds good to me.

MSG,
I would parlay Tenn -4.5 and the OSU ML. Gotta give up the points with UT but thats my biggest play in over a week, I really like it. UK did take UF to OT in gainesville but UF isnt a good team. They have 0 seniors and 2 juniors. Young team playing against anyone in a UK jersey will probably get a bit rattled. Also, UK only plays 7. Two starters have played 40 minutes in 6 or 7 games. UT plays very fast and likes to use a press to wear you down. UT pulls away BIG in the 2nd half.

I agree with BigOrange here...I already have Tenn -4.5 parlayed with Ohio St. -4 (buying 3 points).

Yeah I really like UT as well, just my thing is hadnt seen UK play all year until that Mississippi State game and I know yeah its Mississippi State, but if remember right I cashed in on UK that game keeping it close

Somebody else way back, I think it was tab, said something about doing like some 8 team parlay because have the best chance but I think going to use the free play tonight cash in with this. Too bad not a nice underdog that looks easy money to cash in big haha. By the way, goodluck with that Wake I might lay a bit on that I think they will keep it close even though it gets loud in Clemson at home

Well crap haha I like the lesser ones Westside grrr and have done zero NBA games so would be iffy with that I think.

I do like Tenn though, think AF OSU N.M. and Clemson will win.

BigOrange,

BetJm has taken Wisc off for the ML so can't do that. I put in Clemson and it would be risking $50 free play to win $96

Alright BigOrange think I am going to do it, but does adding more teams or something add to increase money? I mean I know 2 teams better then 1 but is there a point where it actually hurts to have more teams other then fact that odds start to go against you hitting on all of them?

Nah, more teams more money no matter if you have -1700 or -350. They both still add to odds in your favor. aLess risk though with OSU ML Clemson ML and Tenn -5 i think.

You put it all on NE money line. Than you take your
winnings and the next day put it on the #10 at
Mountaineer park. The first race with ten entries
on there card.

It depends what you want out of the $50 Take a live
dog or play the money line on a solid fav.
