San Francisco 49ers (-6.5) (-220) vs. St. Louis Rams Bought 4 points

Cincy should be able to handle the browns. Tennessee is better than they have been playing and I really think that they can get the win. If those two go the way I want them to, my chances are looking pretty good.

I don't know about a 7 team parlay that pays 18-1. So much in the NFL can change in a second. I like each individual play as an individual. But this is a big parlay to hit without getting the right odds, IMO. Good Luck. I am on a number of those games as well.

Sadly, I think the chances are that at least one of those 7 will fail.

Most likely one does fail. I just took a collection of picks I thought I would win. I was going to do like a 4 team parlay, but I kept seeing more and more matchups that were favorable.
Tennesse and Cincinnati are the only games there that I am kind of worried about. The rest should fall into place if these teams play the way they have.

I guess you're being sarcastic. If it was only 17-1 that only one team lost then the parlay wouldn't be a half-bad bet, but seven-selection parlays are a bloody miracle to pull off.
I reckon it's about 28 to 1 that all seven selections win, which would mean at least one will lose 28 times out of 29.....
I'd be most worried about Tenessee, NYG, 49ers and Dallas I think.

Yeah, if these pan out, big payoffs. Not Likely, but shit, it could happen. With the points I bought on games i was questioning, I really think it has a 23% chance (pulled that number outta my ass).

Unless I'm missing something, there's no way this 7-team parlay pays 53-1. Absolutely no way - most of the selections are heavy favourites.

? Giants have been solid all year. Chicago should also get the win at home.... bet straight money line just in case.

Yep, I checked and got just under 35-1 WITHOUT buying the points down.
I like the picks though.

Lousy chance
A 7 teamer has a 1 of 128 odds or .781% chance of winning and so mathematically speaking you don't have a good chance of winning but GL to ya!

Those odds are probably calculated for coin flips. I bought points on games I thought were questionable. What do you think the odds are that my 3 money line bets win??? 2:1, if not higher. I think that 1:128 odds are off.

I like Chicago wining straight up but I don't like the spread of +10 over the Lions. I think the Lions are a less-then-average team but there's like 4-5 I can think of that are worse. They'll lose but not badly.

No those odds are not off they are true mathematical odds, there exist a 128 different combinations and you have to find the right one or 1 of 128. You are looking at it in your perspective but in a mathematical perspective the odds are 1 of 128 for a 7 teamer. Nothing is a sure thing, heavy favs do lose straight up from time to time and so you can't take it for granted that your fav ML picks will win for sure.

7 game parley to risky
I think 3 or 4 parley is less risk and payoff is high. Last week I did 3 parley and won over $300 and I was very confident of the games I picked.
I am thinking of 2 game parley NYG, and Dallas
or a 3 gamer with Cin over Clev
Any thoughts

Yeah, there are 128 different possibilities, but some combinations have a much higher chance than others. I took the money line on several favorites. A .781% chance. Thats not right.
