[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1055187, member: 17953"] Back in the 60s, I tried betting the parlay cards. I never hit on any of them. If I recall correctly, I was playing a 5-game parlay or maybe 7? I can't remember to be honest. It had a huge payback, if you won, but I never did. I had a rough time getting to 4 every week. I decided it wasn't for me. But that jackpot for getting it right was some huge bucks at the time. Getting 59.7% in a spread pool is a huge number. We're talking about people who spend a lot of time digging deep into every facet of an impending game. That's in the range of the insider gamblers in Vegas. A person thinking they're getting close to them if they have 55 to 57% is kidding themselves. That next 3% is the hardest thing to reach that there is. The spreads are so accurate that they make a game slide either way constantly on something as simple as a missed extra point, or getting a 2-point conversion. [/QUOTE]
