    Been having a decent amount of luck with 6/7 team parlays and doing the round robins of 4-6 teams underneath. I've only hit it all (7 for 7 on college basketball opening night and the round robins) once. But I've caught multiple round robins with hitting 5 of 6 or 6 of 7 and made money.

    Yesterday, hit 6 of 7 (only loss was Marquette not covering against Xavier, despite being up 15 with under 8 to play) and earlier in the week hit 6 of 7 (only loss was the Capitals losing to the Blackhawks, despite having a 2-0 lead and a power play opportunity in the third period).

    I know parlay is the French word for sucker bet, but it seems to be working for me over the last couple of weeks.

    Today is a 6 team NFL parlay with combos of 4/5 round robined. Total wagers $110. Potential winnings: 2,533.

    Turned another $5 free bet into around $40 today…came down to the end in Cincy, but I took Gibbs, McLaurin, Bijan and Ja’Marr Chase for anytime TDs. I’ll take free money, thanks.
