TO good to be true bet
 
Alright I got 3 teams here...Ill take the Bucks game since I know there are people from WI here, The Lakers, and the Blazers. The spreads are Bucks -6.5, Lakers -1.5, and Blazer +11.5. Its a 3 team-7 pt teaser. So you can tease each game 7 pts either way. Ill bet 40$ on it and see how I do. Im going to tease the odds to Bucks+.05, Lakers +5.5, and Blazers +18.5. This will pay me about $38.50 on top of my 40$ bet if I win.

When are each of these games?

And I take it you didn't like my idea of you doing 20 of these, so we could have a better feel for your results?

Gaether2 12-23-05 01:03 PM

They are all tonight for NBA. Well I would do 20, but thatd be kind of hard. There are only like 8 games tonight, and then like 10NFL games tomorrow and each Parlay has to be 3 teams. I can do a nother NBA one for tonight if you want.

Zybomb 12-23-05 01:04 PM

i think he meant do a sample of 20, 3 team 7 pt teasers and see your results.

Gaether2 12-23-05 01:08 PM

I know what he meant. I could in a matter of a week or two. You cant do 20 3-team teasers for one night of 8 NBA games. Not to mention thatd be stupid because you dont want to have the same game in any two-or three parlays unless you know its for sure, like the Blazers game tonight.

Gaether2 12-23-05 01:11 PM

You can do it on the over/under total score as well. So ill do a quick one with one of those. The O/U for blazers game is 174 for ill tease it down 7 pts and pick the over so Blazers +18.5, Blazers/Minn game O 167, and Philly/Atl Under 212.5.

Zybomb 12-23-05 01:15 PM

I dont think he was asking that you do the entire sample tonight....

Gaether2 12-23-05 01:23 PM

i dont think I would ever do that here, only for the simple fact it would be a waste of time because even if i went 12-8 or better everyone here would think they were still the shiot and that I was still an idiot

HEwong 12-23-05 01:32 PM

YYOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT.

Gaether2 12-23-05 01:34 PM

tthnk yoou

HEwong 12-23-05 01:42 PM

np. had to be honest.

redbank09 12-23-05 02:13 PM

are you gonna give the money to talkin poker first to cover your bet and then if you when he will refund your bet plus your winnings>

Talking Poker 12-23-05 02:20 PM

We're not actually betting. I think he's just publicising a bet he's making, so we can all see how great he is.

Gordogg 12-23-05 02:32 PM

How can you have money to bet sports but none for poker? Separate bankrolls?

ChipFish 12-23-05 02:48 PM

It won't take the results of 20 parlays to make people think that....

omahilo 12-24-05 12:18 AM

if your lucky, you will win 5 out of 20 parlays...

omahilo 12-24-05 12:21 AM

you did win the 1st one... lose the 2nd.

1-1 in your bets so far.

Talking Poker 12-24-05 12:36 AM

Not with this kind.... it's much easier if you can move any line 7 points.

I think you could win 10 out of 20...

Aequitas58 12-24-05 12:38 AM

Yea, if not more. Adding 7 to any line is huge, IMO.

omahilo 12-24-05 12:50 AM

its harder than you think... but your right, he could possible win 10 but being 10-10 still makes you a losing player with the juice.
