Default Re: NFL Money Line Week?

In general, risking 300 to win 100 does not appeal to me but I often wonder if I'm missing some great bets due to this fact.

Last year's SuperBowl is an excellent example.

I waivered and waivered and finally passed on laying 7; with good cause as it turned out.

While I didn't see a one-sided game I could not even imagine N.E. losing.

Even without the benefit of hind-sight the Patriots laying 250ish was another great [missed] opportunity.

As to the masses:

Laying 3-1 is not popular among small bettors but taking three or four ML favorites and creating a parlay has always been popular; I think they call such bets "teasers". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
