Make some money…

We were laughed at during lunch today – because “Parlays” were mentioned.

The laugher though – they buy points against the spread, which is a similar sin.

Anyway – he’s all about full disclosure and after lunch, I got this email:

 I just pulled this from covers:

I always laugh at threads that have titles like this but
this one is legit. I did it in last years superbowl and
it worked beautifully.

Here is what you do....

You make four prop bet parlays each with 3 props...

Pittsburgh to win Coin Toss
Pittsburgh to receive ball first
and any other prop you want....say
Hasselbeck's passing yards over 236.5

then
Seattle wins toss
seattle receives ball first
hasselbeck's passing yards over 236.5

then
Pitt wins toss
Pitt receives ball first
Hasselbeck's passing yards under 236.5

finally

Seattle wins toss
Seattle receives ball first
Hasselbeck's yards under 236.5

Basically, as long as the team that wins the coin toss
elects to receive the ball, you win. I think that is
a much safer proposition than any other bet on the
board A three prop parlay pays 5 to 1, and you make
4 bets, 3 that lose, 1 that wins 5 times your money. 

Maybe I’ll win a parlay this weekend…finally. But I’m not sure I’ve seen both (coin flip and possession) on a card…this guy was betting online. Though, I will look harder this weekend.
