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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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...

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

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.
