Default Parlays

Lets start off by stating that I know parlays are horrible long term losers.

Ok i dropped a dime at poker last night all due to my poor play and made a frustrated bet. Now looking at it in the morning i regret making it but i didnt risk alot.
I just want to know people opinions on whether this has any chance of hitting.

PARLAY (4 TEAMS) Risking: 225.00 To Win: 1518.81
10/28/2007 @ 10:00 AM [203] CLEVELAND -2½-130 (B+½
10/28/2007 @ 10:00 AM [207] INDIANAPOLIS -3-180 (B+3)
10/28/2007 @ 10:00 AM [215] PITTSBURGH -2½-145 (B+½)
10/28/2007 @ 01:05 PM [222] TAMPA BAY -2½-150 (B+1)

I have fun every NFL weekend making a 10-12 team parlay and risking a couple bucks to win a couple thousand. I know my chance of winning is basically non-existant but it is still fun.

I would lean towards the Bills at plus 3. Looked pretty confident last two weeks and played two quality clubs, whereas the opposite can be said about the NYJ.

In hindsight Pitt is a very dangerous pick. They are giving more than a field goal, on the road, vs a divisional rival.

Historically, road favs are tough to cover so go with the Bills +3. They might win outright.

Jazzy, I think your parlay looks pretty solid, but really no need to buy points on Indy.

I have a parlay of:

Indy -6.5
Giants -9.5
Pats -16.5

1 unit to win 6

Laying a lot of points but given that I personally believe each one is 67 to 75% likely, it's a good payout.
