Sometimes You Make Your Own Luck (in your brain)

1 In A Row?  Try 15 In A Row!!

Welcome to Hump Day everyone, and I really do hope that the first half of the week has brought you some joy, but it probably has not brought you as much joy (at least monetarily as the pro gambler known as Rex), as winning $57,935 off of a $5 parlay bet on the NFL's week 3 games.  So essentially for those of you out there who are not privy to how this sort of thing works, I will as they say 'splain it to you (well maybe only Rosie Perez says that) - a parlay bet is essentially where you put down a small amount of money $2, $5, $10, etc and take advantage of the odds on the odds so to speak of getting multiple games wagered on correctly.  So if you wager $2 on three games, picking 1 underdog and 2 favorites you greatly increase your payout by adding this 1 game to your parlay.  It's kinda weird to think about it from a higher level view because with a spread you really can't view any team as an underdog, at least not from the Vegas lines perspective.  Ideally, the spreads are put in place to level out the two teams and make it a fair fight.  It's kinda like in Rocky when Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan) fights Rocky Balboa in a charity wrestling match…Rocky (a boxer) takes on Thunderlips (a wrestler) in a charity wrestling match in which Rocky is greatly out sized but through the context of a charity event you would think they could level the playing field so to speak and half-box, half-wrestle…not the case.  The lines created by Vegas are there to fool you, and fool you they shall. **editor's note - unless this is the first Eli Manning Giants Super Bowl win where all of the spreads were against them even though you knew they were going to win…right?**

If you do not get the referenced album cover shown above I can't help you, I didn't say that I wouldn't help I just said that I can't help you.  Anyway, so basically this guy only known to us as Rex, not the Sexy Rexy of the New York Jets (shown at the top of the post) has banked over $57K from putting a Lincoln and correctly selecting all 15 games from Sunday and Monday is pretty tough with the spread but even harder STRAIGHT UP.  That means you pick every game's winners without the spread, no half points, no oh man my team is getting 3 points…blah, blah, blah.  What this means is that you pick the team who you think/feel in your bones is going to win that game for 15 games.  Sound easy right?  Give it a go this weekend.  Any inside tips you let me know, first before the spread moves!  wink wink

HAPPY WATCHING!!!
