Default NFL Parlays Huge Spreads and O/Us 4-0 this weekend

Hey.

I was wondering if anyone else has been making these correlated parlays? For yesterday on games with a spread >or = to 25% of the total the plays of fav+ over and dog+ under went 4-0. I haven't been playing these every week but I have gone like 9-1 this season on these.

Anyone have an easy way to check the last couple seasons to see how well these parlays work? I am guessing that just like in college with the favs/overs and dogs/unders of > 33% that these hit quite a bit. Since totals are lower in the NFL I play these at the 25% mark instead.

Any input is appreciated. Looks like around 5 games might qualify for this week also.

Brendan,

how do you decide to take the fave+over or dog+under side of this? Wouldn't the dog+under on Buff have lost?

You play both fav+over and dog+under just like a lot of people had been playing on the college games.

1 unit to win 2.6 units on each side. So you either win 1.6 units or lose 2 units on these plays.

The 4 games this week were.

Pats/Bills -16 o/u 47
Pitt/NYJ -10 o/u 40
KC/Indy -14.5 o/u 41.5
Car/GB -10 o/u 37

Betting each fav/o and dog/u for 1 unit and you would have been +6.4 units.

2 favs+overs won and 2 dogs+unders won.

Brendan,

I've been doing a bit of research on correlated parlays, actually. It shouldn't be too hard to put the data together from Covers and backtest it for a couple of years. Hopefully I'll find some more time to gather the data with what free time I have left. Thanks for shining a light on it.

Samples are relatively small IIRC and checking edge on these is pretty ew.
