HD missing that layup on the final possession cost me a 7 leg parlay (only bet $6 to win $86).

KU ML
Dajuan 10+pts
Dajuan over 15.5 pts + ast
Zeke over 16.5 pts
HD 8+ rebs
HD over 8.5 rebs
HD 15+pts

But still that's profit there.

I just went simply ML last night - the boosts last night weren't worth it. Thanks KU.

( 33% bonus on a 3 leg but each leg has to be -200 or more? nah DK, you won't trick me into shitty parlays - either a better bonus or lower min legs or i'll just bet straight )

Yes, you got GUTTERED!

I'm trying to break down your wager and figure if I feel approximately 15 -1 odds would have enticed me.
If KU was favored - In my favor. If KU was not favored - Not in my favor.
If Juan averages under 10 a game. Not in my favor.
Juan over 15.5 pts & asts. I don't know if that would be in my favor or not.
Mayo probably doesn't average 16.5 a game. Not in my favor.
Dick averages more than 8/8.5 boards. In my favor.
Dick averages more than 15 points a game - In my favor.
Yeah, I suppose 15-1 makes sense but I would have guessed I would have gotten a little bit better odds. Maybe 20-1?
Well, that's a good example of why casinos and gambling sites are in business and make money. Suckers like you and I who bet extensive parlays.
On the flip side, if everyone was a pdub, they would go broke.
Life is one giant Gutterism.

I do like one dollar parlays for fun even if the rewards aren't good...but wait for actual good rewards to jump in on 3 or 4 leg parlays.

I'm guessing some of those legs in Illy's parlay were teased down.

Otherwise i'll do heavily teased 2 or 3 leg parlays or just bet straight.
Last night I just felt KU was in a spot where it was a needed statement - at home on Big Monday ( though I 'hedged' on GTS ).
