its not a matter of crying, its just bad form to postbet-post, thats all. like fraji said, aint no gettin paid to post here. we just do it for fun and also to discuss/share different strategies and analysis with each other. it just looks like ducktales and lying/boasting when you come in here after the fact and post up some random 7 game parlay that you hit, especially when your bet pattern and strategy looks to be all over the place.
For instance, if you are betting $500 on single lines, why you even messing with $30-45 bets? Maybe I'm just reading it wrong, but do you really like the Pats 1Q over that much where you wanna make a 16+ unit play on it? (assuming your unit of play is $30 if thats what you normally messin with).
As far as your 2nd bet posted, is that a parlay or $30 individual bets on each? The reason I am confused is because you listed a -3 Pats (teaser) on one of the lines. I've bet in Vegas, online with 5dimes and sportsbook.com, and with my local runner, and never have I seen a 1 game teaser before. I know some books will buy/sell points, but I have also never seen anyone buy down a line by 4 points, and if they did I dont think they would call it a "teaser"
Maybe I am off base with all of it since I am just a casual hobby bettor and I may not know about all these sophisticated sharp plays like 1 game teasers, or 16 unit plays coupled with a handful of 1u plays. I just play for pennies and my unit of measure = $25. You will never see me put down a 16u play cause I just cant fathom any scenario where I would want to tie up that much of my bankroll for 1 game.
EDIT:
Also. Who are you booking those parlays with? Were you betting heavy juiced 1Q lines? The single game lines seemed pretty standard with no extra juice or points bought (Houston, Bmore, Eagles, Bills, Minny). Most books I know pay 75:1 on a 7 team parlay. It looks like you got paid out right around 25 to 1. Sounds like its your runner who got paid BIG if he took your $45 and placed the exact same bet with any legitimate book and took the 50:1 white meat.
