    This is the funniest parlay I've ever seen
    I used to parlay ML's of massive favorites in college football and basketball. The kind of spreads where you would have to line together 20 games just to get it to an even money bet.

    Not surprising, I definitely lost money doing this, as there was invariably 1 or 2 upsets, even when all the spreads were 14+ points.

    Is it worse than teasing down double digit NFL spreads?
    No, it's actually much better.

    I wouldn't do it, but it's not really terrible, aside from these favorites being a little overvalued (as all big favorites tend to be), and you combining 4 of them.

    I'm only worried about the Kings as they just beat the Mavs yesterday so they might be swinging their dicks around.

    Okay, one more.

    Keep in mind the Knicks are terrible and haven't put up more than 104 points since November 18.

    Still, I think this one is going over, as strange as it seems on the surface.

    Portland vs. New York - Over 223

    Philly ahead by more than 5 most of the game, but it finished 97-92, so I tied.

    Knicks are awful and can't score. I am not betting overs on them again until this changes.

    There was like 5 seconds left and rather than foul and send embiid to the line, they let him hold the ball until time ran out lol. Figures

    Yeah I forgot to mention that. That especially pissed me off. How the fuck does that happen when the lead is only 5?

    I've also been fucked in the reverse situation, where I have +8, the game is by 7 points, and for some reason they foul with a few seconds left.

    NBA

    Brooklyn -10 vs. Charlotte
    New Orleans +9.5 at Milwaukee (Giannis out - a few books have +10)
    Golden State -5.5 vs. New York

    Still deciding upon a possible Sacramento under bet, but that game isn't until 7pm PT.

    Annoying. Brooklyn up by double digits for almost the entire first half and part of the 3rd, then they just collapsed.

    Here's one more.

    Sacramento vs. OKC - Under 207.5

    Frustrating day. Second time in last 3 days I had 4 picks and started out 0-2.

    The only really good pick of the bunch, the Sac under, I bet only half and forgot I never fired the second half of my bet. Of course this couldn't happen with one of them I lost. Really annoying.

    The only one still going is Golden State, which was down 70-50 in the 3rd, but the Knicks have let that go to 87-80 as the 4th begins.. Probably won't cover, but it's the Knicks, so you never know.

    Let's give it a shot tonight.

    Starting at 6pm:

    Dallas at Detroit - Under 217

    Drummond may or may not play -- he's having an allergic reaction to an avocado!

    For some reason, an NBA game is starting at 8:35pm local time.

    I'll make a pick on it.

    Denver -7.5 vs. Portland

    Split 'em yesterday.

    Here's my first one today. I'll probably have more.

    Indiana at Atlanta - Over 224.5 (225 ok)

    Starts 4:35 PT

    Okay, two picks related to the Minnesota/Clippers game.

    Minnesota +175 vs. Clippers
    Minnesota vs. Clippers - Under 228

    If the +175 scares you, a +4.5 bet is also ok.

    I might do a partial parlay and partial straight bet on this.

    I've had a horrible time with these overs lately in the 4th, and not always in blowouts.

    Was looking pretty good after 3 with 86-83 Indiana, as I just needed 56 in the 4th in a close game. Now only 4 points in first 2+ minutes and Indiana starting to pull away.

    I thought the Wolves were gonna surprise people tonight. Guess not. They're awful.

    Sorry about your parlay.

    I did half/half so my under is still alive... kinda.
