Last year, I thought, let me parlay the top 4-5 SEC teams for east money. I lost every bet. I think Auburn, Kentucky, SC went down week one.

Do you guys think this is a safer year to parlay, say Tennessee, Auburn, Florida and Bama to advance out the first round?

I’m unfortunately not confident on a lot of parlays this year again if I try to do 4 teams.

Maybe Kentucky, Auburn, Florida, and A&M can hit. Maybe I should avoid Arkansas. Idk. I was a lot more confident a day ago.

14-0 this year!

Really that is what I would love to see. I think it is more important to move as many teams along in the tournament rather than have a few teams make deep runs. Of course both would be great, but having over 40% if the field in the 2nd round would be out of this world. If we can get 11 into the 2nd round it would still make up over 1/3. Whatever the number, I just hope we all have a great 1st round.

Yes, but it freed us from the shackles of a lifetime contract, so I'll take the L for that.

Parlays actually increase the expected value of your bets if you're good at sports betting. However, if you suck at sports betting, parlays further decrease the already negative expected value on your bets.

Of course, about 99.9% of people suck at sports betting, so parlays decrease the already negative expected value of their bets.

I concur. I just don't like betting and then having to be dependent on multiple games to come through which is next to impossible most of the time.
I like picking one or two games I really like and betting on them by themselves

A $20 gamble on State to beat Baylor vs. a $20 gamble on a 7 leg SEC team parlay picking the top teams to advance is the risk reward part.

I would stay away from betting A&M against Yale. They shoot the 3 ball very well. A&M struggled against Vandy when they shot well from distance. I would be curious if TAMU can put more pressure to disrupt Yale’s shot but I would not risk it.

Don’t worry. I’m staying away from you guys doing anything worth a damn. Thanks for the concern bro. Funny how you seemed to watch A&M in a season no horn fans were here for their own.

You didn’t fire the coach for that, he left you.

Auburn and TN have coaches that you don't really want to back in the NCAAT.

Parlays are for suckers.

That’s smart, I still don’t know what Texas team will show up on a given game. I sometimes bet on the aggies if it will make me money.

1. Parlays are dumb

2. Why would you think those 4-5 teams would be upset proof?
