Default local pub parlay cards

like most pubs, my local offers weekly parlay cards. the thing is, some of the lines are so far off, i feel like i'm being offered a teaser at parlay prices. for instance, this week, pats are -20 vs washington, tampa bay is +3 (was that a typo or did the line really move that much?) vs jacksonville, and indi is -10 vs carolina. and that's just pro ball.

so, my two questions are:
a) can i post every week looking for advice? i know little about the nfl, and nothing about college ball, but figure there's gonna be enough bad lines to find a profitable card each week.

b) is this honorable? these things are supposed to be for little more than bragging rights and here i am trying to beat the system as hard as i can

Comparing to pinnaclesports.com lines and betting the biggest deviants is not a bad starting strategy.

Just remember, these are the people who serve you alcohol. You do not want to piss them off. Roughing them up a little bit is ok though.

I don't think you should feel bad about winning money from folks who are dealing those kinds of lines to drunk squares.

Wait, this is common? Like people can bet at their local bars? Where do you all live? Maybe I look like a cop or something.

Anyway, OP, just bet all the deviant lines.

you're very correct, sir. the rounding seems to be at random, too. anyway, the lines are:

4 teams 10-1
5 teams 15-1
6 teams 25-1
7 teams 50-1
8 teams 100-1
9 teams 200-1
10 teams 300-1
9 out of 10 teams 20-1
