on big spreads I'll always take the underdog, especially in football.

 

Sometime in college football, the spreads are like 30+, usually those are a safe bet........unless USC is the favorite.

 

I'll never bet against again.

For the most part I agree. I will usually parlay 3-5 teasers in closer games.

I think I'd take Memphis to cover over Oral Roberts.

 

Then again, this is not a game you'd want to bet on.  Big spreads are just too hard to cover sometimes and anything can happen when Memphis takes out its starters with 5 minutes left and Oral Roberts lights it up in garbage time.

 

I don't know, I don't consdier these "big spreads"

Most of the time #1 vs #16 seed spead is in the mid 30s, Ive actually seen Duke favored by 57 as a #1 and cover it. I doubt anyone would bench their starting 5 in the tournament with 10-12 lead.

I don't trust either one to cover those.

So take the points.

 

I'm trying your advice and am doing a 9 team parlay with all the s***ty money lines.

I don't trust it either way.

 

Damn, 9 teams are a lot. Which 9?

No, but they could bench them with a 20 point lead. 20 points can get down to 12 or 10 very fast. I don't like those big spreads.

Today I have a 7 point teaser 3 team parlay that will double my money.

 

I have Florida -1, Montana +13, and NC Wilmington +9.5

Yeah, 9 teams are a lot. Nevada definitely was not a lock for anything. They were 6 point favorites. Those are some tough games to take.

 

As you can see from my previous post I doubled my money. I am going with another 7 point teaser later today. I have Ohio State -3.5, Michigan State +3, and North Carolina -4.5. I also have a little bit of money on a money line parlay that can also possibly double my money. I have Kansas (-320), Ohio State (-750), Michigan State (-200), and North Carolina (-950).

 

Good luck to you on your bets today.

though it's not a bad idea.  I just went through and did a couple 5 team parlays with teams that i'm 90% certain will win, regardless of how bad the money lines were (MSU, UNC, OSU, KU, etc)
