Has anyone ever won a 10+ teams parlay?

NBAlive2005 · Nov 10, 2003

I think the most I've ever won was a 5-teamer.
and for small amount too, risked like $20 and won $400. lol

Earlier this year I went 8 out of a 9 team parlay. Titans screwed it up at the Colts.

Imagine if I had nailed it and had it at GA

Hit a 10-team free parlay right here at the RX in the contest forums sponsored by SKYBOOK for $15,000.

Strictly a stroke of luck.

8 teamer this baseball season. unfortunately it was only a $25 dollar Bonus Play...still paid 4250 I believe.

Ok, this is going to be really embarrasing, but I've hit 9 out of 10 twice, but it was years ago. Now to the bad part

It was when I was still learning about "betting", and both times I had won the 9 out of the 10 earlier on, with the 10th game pending that night. Now, we all know, that I could of bet the other side and guaranteed myself some sort of nice winnings, but that's just it, I was still a "rookie" and had no idea what~so~ever, so I rode them out and lost them both!

Me!

yes, playing moneylines though--- lakers -340, spurs -400, boise st. -300, Rams -240 etc. but on a 10 dollar bet 1000 once and 1300 another time, but its a 1 in 1024 shot betting straight (-110 juice).

strut, did you really hit a 10 teamer for 15K? Holy shiat! That's very impressive. And it was a free contest at Skybook? the best I have ever done is losing 10 of 10

GreenDoberman · Nov 10, 2003

No, because I've never played one, that makes me a winner, though.

A buddy I work with played a "pro-line" 12 team parlay ticket through the Ontario lottery commission yesterday. When I came into work today he told me he went 12-0. When I looked at the ticket, I realized he lost all 12! That's some funny shiat. Didn't get a dime for sucking so badly though.

Hey NBAlive2005,

Too bad you were so set on cutting me up this past weekend. You should have been playing my plays in the GETTING MY MONEY FROM GAMBLERS AVENUE/ROYAL THREAD.

You would have had a nice roll now.

Ohh well, to each his own!

The first parlay i ever hit was a 3 teamer that i hit in high school. It was my first bet--the worst thing that ever happened to me.

10 teamers have been won and paid in the sportsbook.com family

Went 14-0 in a Las Vegas contest. Still hard to believe since I suck in the NFL. No spread just pick the winner in each game. Split the weekly prize with one other guy that paid 20k each, over 100,000 cards out.

ericdixon · Nov 10, 2003

Never even sniffed at a 10 team parlay, I rarely play parlays but I hit a 5 team in baseball once!

McIrish,

You did alright there then. A few years ago I had a perfect winner weekend on NFL in the Stations NFL contest.

Along with 121 other people.

My other entry I went opposites, except for the Monday night game..so I ended up with a 13-0 ticket and a 1-12 ticket. Second place tie in the losers bracket paid more than the tie in the winners bracket, combined the 2 tickets were not quite 500 usd.

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 10, 2003

Tab - there is a lot of luck involved. This was the Barbary Coast one and they gave out 40k a week back then. Some weeks it was like you said and there would be a lot of winners, a week with few upsets. I got lucky the week I won as there was one big game that eliminated a lot of cards. The Raiders were 5-0 and looking invincible, the Rams were 0-5 I think it was and on the road. Raiders were about a 10 point favorite if I remember right and for some reason I went with the underdog. That was the key game as the Rams beat them. Lot of smaller upsets and close games that could have gone either way that helped but that was the one that did the damage. I am in the contest again this year and not a peep out of me. LOL. Guess Lightning doesn't strike twice.

Anyway that's amazing you made more on the 1-12 card than the 13-0 card. Lot of these things are pure luck on if you win and how much if you do.

Ditto, in the long run parlays are losers so I refuse to play them. Especially since I only play moneylines. It just don't make sense or cents.

RobFunk · Nov 10, 2003

what if you played 10 bucks a day on 10 team money parlay 10 biggest dogs on board?! if it ever cashed it'd pay 6 figures easy. what are the odds of that ever coming in? never, i bet

petyos · Nov 10, 2003

Pat what do you mean by " 40k a week back then". That game was last year

My guess is you would be down $3640 after a year betting this way. But if I were wrong.....
