Anyone do Miracle Parlays?

DownNDirty · 12-08-2006, 08:42 PM

I've been betting for over a month now and have already learned alot. I don't want to jinx myself but I have been doing pretty well by researching and checking some forums on what others have to say. I'm up to $400 from a meager $10 start. I usually place a couple of solid single wagers per night to try to keep myself gaining money. I also play a couple of parlays a night and one "Miracle Parlay" each night. I know the odds suck but man they can pay out huge if you hit one. On all my parlays I usually do very small bets, from $1 to $5 and my "miracle" are all $2 bets once each day.

I've already lost my miracle play for the night tonight but here it was:

Moneyline Parlay 8

NBA:

Bobcats
Pistons
Blazers
Grizz
Hornets

NCAA:

Northern Illinois - lost by 2 points
Troy
Manhattan

Paid $2 for a possible $37,608. I mean why not.

Last weekend I missed a moneyline 8 on the NFL/NCAAB by 2 games for $2 that paid out $75,000. I know the odds are way against me but dang if a guy would hit one he'd be pretty dang happy. My dad asked me if I would have put $100 on that miracle last Sunday how much was it worth - and I checked before the games - and it was over 3 million dollars. I'd settle for the 75k but wow - gives you hope each day lol.

I'm trying to play smart and I have been adding to my bankroll by playing safe bets and making little bits here and there on solid plays. But, for $2 I'll play those miracles every day. Anyone else here do that?

Dolphins, Saint,s and Panthers aren't really miracles if they win....Vikings....Who knows? Don't really keep up much with the NBA

DownNDirty · 12-10-2006, 11:36 AM

Well I call it a miracle if all 8 teams win and I take home $17,696.06. All the stars have to line up for me to take home a miracle parlay like that. But, for $2 it's worth it.

Where do you place these bets?

OK, then in that case that might be a miracle LOL

You might have a decent shot at it man, LAkers and Hawks are decent this year.....Dunno so much about the Bobcats and Blazers though

I was using Bowmans and liked them but now that all the American accounts got sold over to Bodog I switched to Pinnacle.

Yeah it was 5-3 but I've went 6-2 and 7-1 recently on these miracle parlays. I might drop it down a couple of games and try to hit on it for $2,000-$5,000 because at the end of the day that's still a great pickup from a $2 bet.

DownNDirty · 12-11-2006, 06:34 PM

Heavy dose of NBA games in my daily "Miracle Parlay" play. The odds of hitting on a miracle would take, well, a miracle. Tonight's offering for $2:

NBA

Portland - ML
Phoenix -1
Memphis - ML
NY Knicks -2.5
New Orleans - ML
Dallas - ML

NCAA

Mississippi State - ML

NFL

St. Louis - ML

To win: $2,777.78 (and my first ever HDTV and donate at least $500 to Gifts for Kids, Food Bank, or Coal Fund)

DownNDirty · 12-12-2006, 07:05 PM

Tuesday's offering for $2 won't have nearly as high of a total payout but I couldn't bring myself to bet on some of the other games being played that would have produced a much higher payout.

NBA

Hawks ML
Rockets -2.5
Kings ML

NCAA

C.Florida ML
St. Louis -1
Nevada -10.5

NHL

Blackhawks ML
Sharks ML

To win $937

No whammy big money

DownNDirty · 12-13-2006, 08:46 PM
