need your help (parlay 3-4 teams)

[richard]

Pittsburgh (-6.5)
Washington (+20.5).
Auburn (-6.5)
Clemson (-6.5)


Guys, my local bookie offers me a parlay with the spread points above. If I have to pick 3 , which ones should I pick or should I stay away? (odd is $100 to $550)

If I understand this correctly he's giving you 51/2 to1 on a 3 teamer. So if you bet $100 and win he gives you back $650? Find a new guy. He's driving a new car and watching football on his big screen 1080p HD and you helped pay for it without giving him a fight.

Yes, you understand exactly what I meant. However, are you aware of the currently lines from most books as below:
Pittsburgh (-7.5)
Auburn (-7)
Clemson (-7)

Well, I thought I had a better deal by picking those favors.

BTW: I do know playing parlay is bad!

This statement alone is classic!!!

I like Clemson and Auburn, personally.

I didn't say Parlays are bad I said that the payoff your getting was bad and you shouldn't except it. I understood what you were saying about the better numbers on those games. As a matter of fact some parlays aren't that bad such as 2 team (side and total) correlated at proper payouts. I use the word proper loosely. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way you asked a question and I gave you my opinion. I wish you luck moving forward.

i like this guy old timer...

[cassiusclay]

richard, if you like the games bet them straight up

[Dirty]

Get you a quality online book that pays out proper parlay odds... we have many here


Only two I would touch out of those is Auburn and Clemson

[richard]

Some body just keeps having unlucky on something. I stayed away from this live parlay because I listened to you.

Did not bet straight up on 1 of these teams either because the lines for single games are different from parlay's.

Pittsburgh (-6.5)
Washington (+20.5).
Auburn (-6.5)
Clemson (-6.5)

for everyone of those you hit you will lose 15-20.... sure this may have hit but the advice you got in this thread was 100% Correct

[richard]

That was what I tried to HEAL myself! If I never ever play 5.5 to 1 odd again, I'll probably save some money in the long run, given I hit that particular parlay.

but the advice you got in this thread was 100% Correct
