    Default 12-4 In NFL Games today, yet down $307.....

    I really can't believe this, I feel sick. If anyone with a bankroll and money management wants to partner with me, we may be able to do damage. I can pick em, but am greedy and always going for the hail mary, I'm significantly depressed right now. Have a look fellas:

    ANDDDDDD..... you guessed it 3 for 4 on that parlay. And what's worse about this one is I had the 2nd half dolphins and over selected, 2nd half Jets and under selected, and 2nd half 49er's and over selected but was waiting to hopefully be able to choose the dallas game with those.....The half didnt end in time and instead of going 6 for 6 with those picks I go 3 for 4 with these.

    How ****ing sick is this? Like I said if you've got scratch and you want to partner PM me.......If I had bankroll management and didnt go for all these parlays I'd probably be a very wealthy man...this happens so consistantly.

    Oh yeah....and why did the Titans coach go for 2 on their last touchdown when they were down 21?!?!?!?!?! that makes no sense...doesnt help you at all....the only reason I can think of is cause he wanted me to lost that parlay by one meaningless point

    Or you can bet 2 units on each game for the early set of games, then 1.5 units per game on the later set of games (if you are up). but put just 1 to .5 units as parlays for those 2 sets so you can still be happy playing parlays.

    Ok seriously though can someone tell me why you would go for 2 when you just scored a touchdown and you're down 15 with like less than 10 minutes in the 4th quarter? Making it 13 is pointless cause you're not gonna have time to get 2 field goals and a touchdown, AND if you don't get it now you need two touchdowns and one two point conversion. IT MAKES NO ****ING SENSE I'M GOING TO FREAK OUT I THINK

    Which is why you will have no bankroll. If parlays were common to hit they wouldnt pay so well, my advice is load up on a 2 teamer or 3 teamers at most.

    Yea, tough break. I took H-Town last week agains Jack, after that day Im not betting agaainst them for the rest of the year. Everyone said, "No way Tennessee goes 0-3" and today "No way Tennessee goes 0-4" This is the NFL, NOBODY could of told you b4 the season started Denver would be 4-0 with Orton at the helm and that Tenny would be 0-4 with virtually the same team minus Haynesworth.

    The only reason I can think of for going for the two pointer is to take that meaningless opportunity to try out your two-point conversion.. god knows...

    This is the only answer that makes sense. Fisher had already conceded the game by not kicking the extra point.

    my money managment is also very poor. I can pick 7 or 8 out of 10 but always lose this one game in any parlay. any advise, anybody???

    Default

    but that doesnt make sense...you try out your two point conversion in practice, once you use it in a game the whole league has it on tape!

    Whatever the dumb ass reason it cost me $2,500. What a horrible day....12 and 4 and down a little over $300 I'm such an idiot

    Not trying to be funny but 'i want never gets'. Parlays don't win, betting singles does. Anything above 53% and you are laughing. Whatever you want to bet next week, bet them singles and you won't go wrong

    I had this problem for a while. I just had to lose enough money to finally learn my lesson. I also watched Justin7's video explaining the house edge on parlays and I pretty much stopped them cold turkey at that point.

    I know that smogs.....but when you're in a hole and need money today not built up over months you do stupid shit like bet parlays go 75% on the day and still lose money. Best thing to do would be to just stop because I dont have the patience to take $100 and bet $20 on a game to start a roll, That's not real money....
