Default Poker is Rigged, Parlays are Not. NFL Picks - Week 2

Woke up a little late today. Hands are trembling. Since I know I'm a goner in todays donkaments my only hope is my handicapping friend, and long time lurker occasional pstars donator, buddha_sak. A respected member of the sports gambling community as well as degenerate gambling had this to say.

"Matty, Tough week for parlays, favorites all seem like solid picks, but thats usually a sucker bet, Bengals by 7? Come on, seems like easy money. I'm hesitant to give you this one as it doesn't give you the 200-1 action you crave, but today I like a 7 team parlay of the following:
bengals, seahawks, saints, cowboys, bears, steelers, broncos

Good luck."

Well, since I only have 220 in my WSEX account, oddly enough I "found" 1k in wsex blackjack this week too, but that obviously didn't work out well, I'm gonna go with Buddha Sak plus a smaller 8 teamer with the following:

You have wagered $60.00 to win $10168.15 on:
DETROIT -3.0 MINNESOTA AT DETROIT
DENVER -10.0 OAKLAND AT DENVER
ATLANTA +10.0 ATLANTA AT JACKSONVILLE
DALLAS -3.5 DALLAS AT MIAMI
CINCINNATI -7.0 CINCINNATI AT CLEVELAND
INDIANAPOLIS -7.0 INDIANAPOLIS AT TENNESSEE
CHICAGO -12.0 KANSAS CITY AT CHICAGO
NEW ORLEANS -5.5 NEW ORLEANS AT TAMPA BAY



And for review here is Buddha's which is where the majority of my early parlay success has come from.

You have wagered $50.00 to win $4211.73 on:
DENVER -10.0 OAKLAND AT DENVER
PITTSBURGH -10.0 BUFFALO AT PITTSBURGH
SEATTLE -2.5 SEATTLE AT ARIZONA
DALLAS -3.5 DALLAS AT MIAMI
CINCINNATI -7.0 CINCINNATI AT CLEVELAND
CHICAGO -12.0 KANSAS CITY AT CHICAGO
NEW ORLEANS -5.5 NEW ORLEANS AT TAMPA BAY







Fair Warning: We all know these are - ev, stupid, gambly bets. Please don't come to this thread regurgitating common knowledge.
