Made an interesting bet this weekend. Betting 450$ USD on a 7 game parlay. All games picked straight up, no spreads.

Here are the teams I'm taking to win:

Jets
Cardinals
Eagles
Lions
Saints
Giants
Broncos

11,000$ if they all win. Wish me luck mofos. Feel free to chime in if you like my picks, don't like my picks, whatever. For the non-gamblers, remember, a parlay means all my picks have to win for my ticket to be good. Also, I already placed the bet.

You may find this article useful. Michael Shackleford is my go-to authority on all things casino/gambling/betting (except for poker).

The article is mainly about parlays betting against the spread, I'm betting these games straight up, but still a nice article. He says underdogs perform better and I'm taking all fav's. LOL Well see what happens sunday.

In my opinion parlays are sucker bets because if you get only one wrong you lose the whole bet instead if you won 4 or 5 out of 7 you would actually win some money. Also you're paying the book more commission (fees) than you would if you were betting each game individually. By the way man my Redskins are taking it this week vs the Eagles. But good look I hope you take it down.

I know all that...It's for fun. I've been running good on my bets, so, this week I'm going for a big win. Foles has been playing lights out....It's worrisome how poor the eagles have been playing at home, but I think they got this. They've been stepping up lately and have a lot of weapons.

What is the payout for a 7 team moneyline parlay? I would do those tyeps of bets everytime if I had access.

Depends on the teams you pick....My bet is 450 to win 11000

You got some really good odds when you made this bet, if you try to bet now 450 (@WH),your final odds will be 10.57 which will win you almost 4800.

It is a decent accumulator, you may win it, good luck.

I made the bet at fortuna. I just typed it into william hill and it said it they offered 8500 for 450. Are you sure you typed it in right? Regardless, fortuna's parlay odds aren't bad.

Just a random question, since I am generally all about cost benefit. Is there a smaller parlay you could do to cover the 450? Maybe pick 3 games you know will go your way (well as much as you can know). Which 3 would you pick? How much would you have to bet to back your 450 back plus the new parlay bet?

Good luck today!
