cinci is -7 but i teased -5. i also teased utah -3 on one of my parlays. i agree with your analysis though. I also took Auburn and Baylor in diff parlays

That being said the ACC has a lot less parity than the AAC to me. Ill take a Cinci that has managed to hold Memphis offense below 30 pts and hang tough against them, while beating everyone else in their conf against a Boston College that hasnt had a decent win all yr.

I really wanted Cinci -3 but i couldnt find that on my sports book. I like Baylor > UGA due to their ability to score. UGA has struggled all year on offense. I like > 41 pts there too.Its a 3 or 4 point game to me if UGA wins. 27-24 type game


Your analysis is thorough. Also you covered yourself by playing another parlay with a different outcome, which is always the logical thing to do. This gambling thing makes you have to go in-depth with your research to come out with a hit, and still things can always go sideways. When I'm looking at college football or basketball I always look at how the teams do against the better teams in their conferences. I also try to see if the better teams are in the most notable conferences like the SEC, Big Ten, PAC 12, and etc. Looking at it again the cincy runline may be solid, but the utah runline worries me. I think Georgia can cover the spread because they have the Defense to do it. The only game that got out of hand for them this year was the LSU game, who have the Heisman winner and that great offensive supporting cast.

So I recently got into sports betting because of a stupid younger cousin of mine who introduced me to it, and today I can say it has completely crushed me.

I dropped $750 on Miami Heat beating Cavs :( I know, but the odds were crazy and would've raked in over 6k.
I also dropped 1k on Memphis to beat OKC. Again I was lured by the hefty payout.

So to make the money back I immediately dropped 1.5k in the 4th Quarter for Dallas to beat Utah by +7, that didn't happen as Utah almost won :(

Now I am seething, I literally emptied my bank account to win all that back. I dropped 1.6k on Houston to beat Clippers. They lost :sadbron:

Now I'm broke as shyt with $90 in my bank account. I just transferred $50 to my sportsbook account to start all over :(


I have no idea what got me to this. I've never been a gambler in my life. But I made some money early and thought I could keep winning.........

I have 1.8k coming in next week, this time I'll stick with the favourites. I'm getting that money back!! And then quitting for good.

Moral of the story is folks, don't gamble. You may win some, but in the long you you'll ALWAYS lose.
so how are you today? homeless?

The thing about gambling is most people dont have impulse control and they tilt(chase) when they lose a bet or two tryna make back that money that night or weekend.

First thing always go with your gut and never bet on a game just cuz its on tv or on the board. When I first started I would win and than chase after a few loses later and than 4 days later i would see a slam dunk game but since I blew my money I would be kicking myself. Moral of the story is sports games are played everyday, week, month you just gotta wait for the right ones to bet on or dont gamble at all.

Last thing never deposit more than 100. I know yall wont believe this but i took a 50 deposit to 26k before cashing out 17k before. Its all about impulse control and getting over losses.

Real shyt
