2 Team NFL Parlays

Betting Late 2 Team Parlays. 

Like Grand Master Flash used to say "Don't Do It!
This week I called the winners on Pats and Niner's and lost money. 
It's hard enough to pick a winner. Trying to pick the Winner and the Total on the same game - is asking a lot of yourself. Great for the Ego if you win. Bad for the wallet if you attempt it regularly.

If you are like me - you are not betting  $1000 to win $1100. I need to at least make 2.5 to 1 and usually bet $50 3 team parlays @ 6-1. The pros don't bet parlays - but I'm not a pro. I only bet what I can truly afford to burn.

I live very close to a sports book, so, like may of you - who bet online - I often add a ticket after a loss - on the Sunday Night and or Monday Night games. To get a 2.5 return - we are forced to add an Over or Under to the ticket.  That's fine if you already factored a great Over or Under ahead of time, when you made your picks. If not, you are just guessing and cutting your chances of winning in half. With the the afternoon games starting at 1:25 - that is another opprtunity to do the same and lose. 

Better Solution.

If you Bet Late after a loss - here's a Better solution. 

Separate your Picks:

Thursday Night. Skip it or 2 team Parlay. (3 games this Thursday)

Sunday Morning Games - Separate 3 Team Parlay.

Sunday Afternoon Games- Separate 3 Team Parlay.

Sunday Night / Monday Night - Separate 2 to 4 team parlay.

You can do this with $20 bets or whatever you can afford. If you think about it - it gives you more chances to win. Would you rather have 1 lotto ticket or 4?  It's been such a crap shoot this year - why not increase your odds of cashing a winning ticket?

Betting Strategy is as important as Trying to Pick Winners.
