The Parlay Card

Ever wanted to bet every Saturday college football game? How about every NFL game? Probably everyone reading this has had that desire. But that would be extremely expensive if you bet them each as single bets. And off the board, you can only do 8 teams at a time. But how about those parlay cards that are right next to you as you looking up at the board. Wow, they have all the games and you can bet up to 15 games and it will cost a minimum of 2 units. And most of the time, the 15 team parlay pays 25,000 units to every unit bet. Now that is a nice payout for only $2! Now, lets not get carried away. A 15 team parlay is damn near impossible to hit. But in actually, it is a very fun bet. How much fun can you have on a Sunday when you know you have action on every game for a measly $2! In actuality for the entire weekend, you could have action on 45 games for a minimal $6. It is a fun bet that you can do for the entire weekend and not lose your paycheck over! The only thing you lose out on is maybe a McDonald’s value meal. And you never know, you may actually cash in your ticket someday.

Thoughts and questions to ponder:

How about those Detroit Lions? Not only did they beat the then undefeated Falcons, they won their second game in a row on the road! They are 3-1 and are at home this week against the suddenly crappy Packers. After week 6, the Lions may actually be 4-1. Who would have thought that?

The New England Patriots won their 19th game in a row. Congrats to them! But most of the people who watched that Pats/Dolphins game watched the Dolphins at the one foot line not score a point in the last minutes of the game. The touchdown wouldn’t have won the game for the Dolphins, but it would have covered the spread! Not only did they not cover the spread but on back to back plays, they lost both their QB’s to injuries.

Are the Rams firing on all cylinders now or did the Seahawks get too cocky in the 4th quarter of their game?

Should the San Francisco 49ers run a no huddle offense? Tim Rattay threw for 420 yards and brought them back from a 16 point deficit in 5 minutes.
