NFL Week 9 odds are within the rearview mirror and it has been one other strong few days for the lots of public bettors. But that does not cease any of the standard Monday morning quarterback conversations. So we at FOX Sports will not let that decelerate some Tuesday morning quarterback ideas for the sports activities betting public.
There’s little question about it, leisure bettors take pleasure in betting on parlays. And we perceive it. Betting a little bit to win so much is tempting, just like the lottery, or on this case, maybe a mini-lottery.
However, additionally bear in mind this: Parlays are a bookmaker’s finest good friend. Proceed with warning.
That stated, what if I instructed you that you just wager $10 on: a 2023 First Team All-Pro receiver to attain first; the perfect Ravens receiver to attain at any time; the 2021 Super Bowl runners-up to cowl an eight-point unfold; a 6-2 workforce to defeat a 2-6 workforce; and a recreation involving Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley to go over 46 factors would earn you over $1,200?
In Week 9, he would. So, with that in thoughts, here is this week’s version of…
I might have, I ought to have
Wouldn’t it have been good to show 10 {dollars} into greater than $1,200? It’s not a type of big flyer wins that are inclined to get plenty of consideration each week. But it is nonetheless the form of ROI that may hold you free-roaming for a very good whereas.
The following five-team parlay in DraftKings Sportsbook’s NFL Week 9 odds would do exactly that:
- Amon-Ra St. Brown +800 first landing scorer within the Lions-Packers recreation
- Zay Flowers scores +160 on any landing within the Ravens-Broncos recreation
- Bengals -8 (-110) vs. Raiders
- Commanders Moneyline -207 vs. Giants
- Jaguars-Eagles Over 46 complete factors
Detroit and Green Bay failed to search out the top zone within the first quarter. But St. Brown got here by on the opening play of the second quarter, giving the Lions a 7-3 lead in a recreation they received 24-14.
Flowers truly had two touchdowns, each within the second quarter of the Ravens’ 41-10 loss to Denver.
Even with its sub-.500 report, Cincinnati was a preferred play to cowl at residence in opposition to Las Vegas. The Bengals proved the bettors proper with a stress-free 41-24 win.
Washington, behind rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, was in style in each method possible Sunday on the highway in opposition to the New York Giants. Bettors had been greater than keen to again odds of -207 for the Commanders simply to win, which they did 27-22.
The greatest sweat of the five-game parlay: Whether Jacksonville and Philadelphia might surpass 46 factors. A DeVonta Smith landing catch halfway by the fourth quarter put the Eagles up 35-16 and clinched the over. Philly in the end received 35-23.
Add all of it up and you’ve got odds of +12548, or simply over 125/1. So that $10 invoice generates a pleasant revenue of $1,254.80.
To reiterate, there’s a purpose why the percentages are so excessive on a majority of these bets. And bookmakers need nothing greater than so that you can add an increasing number of legs to your parlay tickets.
So wager accordingly. If you are seeking to get a little bit extra along with your 10 or 20 {dollars}, then you may wager on these mini-lottery tickets. Just do not borrow in opposition to subsequent month’s automotive fee to do it.
