EV.... none to very little

Variance goes way higher.

If you bet on one game and took the winnings, then bet all on game two. Basicly repeating this for 5 total games...it would pay the same.

The variance is going to be a lot higher than betting one unit on each of the 5 games, but EV wise no difference.

I couldn't help myself, and I ended up adding a parlay and teaser at the last second, along with a couple more bets. I put one unit on Akron +17.5, another half unit on USC at -8.5, and then I made these as well:

Parlay:
Utah +120, USC -8.5, Army -5, Texas -22.5 (1st), LSU -24.5

Teaser:
Akron +23.5, Auburn -8, USC -2.5, Clemson -25.5, Texas -35, LSU -24.5

One last correction to my bets, as I accidentally put two units on Akron instead of one as I bet it before I made my parlay and then forgot I'd bet it already and did it again after. I know no one really cares, but I want a record of my picks.

Texas got a late TD to cover the 1st half line, so I'm up to 4-1. So far so good.
