Have a coworker who wants to throw a $400 3 team parlay on NFL.


$2000 dollars if he wins....


He wants the saints/greenbay/ and either the greenbay or saints over.


He doesn't have a bookie, so I said id give him the action....

I can either send it in to local, or keep it...


Anyone have a opinion on the totals....

I like oakland, but greenbay and the totals have no opinion....


Wouldn't mind a free $400, but not sure if I wanna risk it....

Curious to see opinions on just those games...

 

[the addict]

He doesn't care if I take the action, but don't wanna risk dumb luck of him hitting one of his first bets ever.....



Which total is more likely to stay under?

 

[cole]

Don't know how much of a difference it makes but looks like a 50% chance of rain during the Saints game.

don't do it.

can't take a flyer on taking action once. if your were booking on a consistent basis, then sure, you could risk taking this and be assured you will win this bet 7 out of 8 times (7-1 odds). payout i believe is 6 to 1 on a 3 teamer. so over the long run, you're are collecting 12.5% on these types of wagers.

but the one time it hits could be this time. then you're f*cked.

unless your willing to get into it full time and completely overhaul your lifestyle, you're better off investing your own dollars into action you cap yourself.

i hope this is helpful. good luck whatever you do.

Agreed ,if your gonna book then book if its one time thing not worth it even if your looking at as an extra $400 if it loses. If it wins its an extra $2,000 out of your pocket with no chance of getting it back cause its a one time thing.

Good points.

True ( funny) story:
My best friend of 24 years and I met due to my need for a local, and a mutual friend introduced us.

He wasn't a book, but knew one or two.

Long story short, he took all of my NBA action, thinking no way I could win, opting to not turn in to the book he would eventually turn me over to.

Needless to say I had a killer week one, and then he was in the pickle of being unable to pay me, which was unfortunate since we had hit it off with so many mutual interests in sports, music, and girls.

He then turned me over to his guy, so I could play directly, and I put my new friend on a payment plan. We have been buddies ever since, and tell the story over and over again of the peculiar beginning to our relationship.

I think both games fly well overe the posted totals. Oaklands secondary is brutal and NO can and will score on most defenses. Oak should be ABLE TO THROW UP 21+. dETROIT GB COMPLETE SHOOTOUT.
TELL HIM TO GET SOME BALLS AND PLAY A 4 TEAMER GOOD LUCK MY FELLOW PA BOY.

send 400.00 to one of the sponser books here at madjacks. they will pay western union or moneygram fees on this amount. no bonus so no rollover. make sure they will take a 400.00 nfl 2 teamer before you send the money but 90% of books will. payout will be 2400.00 in lieu of 2000.00

BET IT FOR HIM with your book :shrug:

If you go this route make sure you're holding his $400 prior to kickoff otherwise I would not advise this.

normally i wouldnt but this coworker is also a friend/superior who i know makes fuckin bank



otherwise i would never

 

[william13]

outside of work i might do it .. BUT keep your gaming out of work place .. could get ugly

 

[gjn23]

you're already ahead giving him only 5-1 on a 3 team parlay might as well keep it.

if you really want to get more shady, give him the lines now and then see where they end up sun and bet a smaller parlay the same or other way with your bookie depeding on how lines move

Here's what I think u should do:

You trust the guy, and u know he's good for it so....

*bet it with your guy for $350 (6-1 payoff would make 2100)

*If it hits, it pays 2100... give him 2k, u make $100 for the effort

*If it misses, he gives you $400, u pass on $350 to da book, and you make $50 for the effort

I think that sounds easy enough :0074

I like this idea :0074

Easy Money

Easy Money

I would just play Fonzie on this one. We all know how hard it is to hit a 3 team parlay.

Plus, if this dude does hit it. :scared There is a good chance he will be back for some more action and then you just continue to sit on it. :0074

Might be the easiest money you make all weekend Addict!

Good Luck with whatever way you roll!

this is a no brainer

lay the 400 off shore, pay off of 2.4k

root like hell that he wins and you pocket a free 400, you don't want to be on the hook if he wins

 

[gjn23]

here's another idea:

1) keep his action
2) talk him into the green bay total thus giving him 2 morning games and 1 afternoon game
3) bet a two team $400 parlay the same way he bets the morning game (gb + gb over)
4) if he's 2-0, you've hit a $400 2 team parlay (+1040) and you can hedge the late game straight up or let it ride (a $960 loss or $1440 win)
5) if he goes 0-2/1-1 he's down 400 and you're even
