I touched on it earlier but a parlay bet could be the way to bring the Bama game in the mix. By having to bet the team and the over/under it becomes a difficult bet-- no matter who we play. It has been awhile since I gambled with the book, but I think I remember how it is accounted:

You bet $50 x2 plus two juices if you lose.
So a $100 two team (or 2 play) parlay bet is: risk $120 to win $260.
 
So your bet would look like this:

Bama(-2.5)   
LSU(+2.5)
41.5 O/U

You take Bama and over for 10 ecreds: -12 ecreds
You take Bama and under for 10 ecreds: +26 ecreds
You take LSU and iether O or U :             -12 ecreds

We'll work on it! BTW, the house odds increase as you add more plays, so a 8 team parlay pays huge (150-1) but is almost impossible to hit.

So basically you have a 1:4 chance of winning a little more than twice your bet.  You're right, that is a sucker bet.  The house would collect 36 and pay out 26.

You don't think you can do it?  It really won't be any different than playing Monopoly since the e-creds are worth even less than Monopoly money.  At least Monopoly money is printed on paper.

The little kids around your neighborhood may take monopoly money to pick up leaves. They won't take e-creds. Sad  Hope this helps.
