i.e.'s picks-a different approach

[pepin46]

don't get to look at the free picks section often, but ie's selection today brings up a couple of points:

he picks

1 unit chisox
1 unit chisox over
1 unit parlay the above.

obviously, he feels very strong about this play and is going for all the marbles.

what is special about this is the fact that he is doing it all in one game, more specifically the parlay. it is much easier, once you develop that scenario, to pick this type of parlay than 2 different teams. why? because you have to be right only once. this may sound simplistic, but you know that every once in a while you have a game or score fixed in your mind and it won't let go. do it!!

i use this approach for football in a 4 parlay, using only 2 games when the conditions warrant it, and avoid pressing the issue just to get some action. there will be more discussion on this later in the football season.

gl to all

And IE knows what I think about the S/T parlays

In bases, one thing to remember when parlaying the side and the total is to:

1)Never ever parlay the Home Team w/ the OVER
2)Never ever parlay the Road Team w/ the UNDER

2 simple rules to follow... IMHO.

Note that I say "IMHO" here, but mathematically speaking, I think you can understand why...

since you brought it up, that is exactly my play in football: visitor (usually a dog) and over when warranted.

i remember KATTS you brought that up in the hockey forun as well, and I ignored that hypothesis when i was betting on the Minnesota Wild and the under...LOL
it worked then....

but this ain't hockey.

i'm gonna look into those stats right now...
