A friend of mine has 2 13 team parlay cards he is thinking about selling....both were $25 to win 100k. One of the parlays has 12 games won already, and just needs the Chargers to cover tonight to win 100k...the other has 11 games won already and needs the Chargers and Skins to cover tonight to win 100k.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to test the market on selling these and how much you think he could get?

my nigerian friend

9/11/2006 1:46:37 PM

$50

9/11/2006 1:46:42 PM

i'll give him 200 for the 12 one

and why doesnt he keep them? that sounds fishy, 100k chance and he doesnt want to keep it

i know i won't find anyone on here, but people would be willing to pay around 50k for something like this....getting 2 to 1 on their money on the chargers

9/11/2006 1:53:01 PM

how much did he make the bets for? Not that Im interested.. But if I needed one game to win 100k I doubt I'd sell it...

9/11/2006 1:56:29 PM

that makes no sense really, when they could just do that with any bookie to begin with ^^

bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush

$50k promised is nearly always better than $100k kinda promised.

name a bookie that will allow anyone to bet 50k to win 100k on the spread

9/11/2006 2:03:26 PM

answer my fishy statement please

why wouldnt he keep the bets

9/11/2006 2:06:17 PM

i know nothing bout betting

whats a parlay card

9/11/2006 2:06:28 PM

Yeah there isnt one, For some reason I read it as 1-1 payout

but still, sounds awful shady

9/11/2006 2:06:43 PM

its from sportsbook.com's 100k challenge at http://www.sportsbook.com/info/100k-weekly-bet.php
he is most likely keeping it, but also wants to test the waters to see what he could sell one of them for because he has 2 separate parlays that both still have a shot to win 100k depending on mnf

9/11/2006 2:11:07 PM

he did a hell of a job then if he straight bet all these games and got all of them correct

did he bet with the spreads or just bet on who it was that was to win?

9/11/2006 2:12:42 PM

you have to bet with the spreads and you can only bet on games that sportsbook.com has a list of for the 100k challenge...not just every game over the weekend. It is college and pro combined


a parlay is a bet on several games at one time....if u win all the games then you win a lot of money...if you lose just one then u win nothing
for example this parlay is $25 on 13 games...win them all and u get 100k

[Edited on September 11, 2006 at 2:15 PM. Reason : parlay explanation]

9/11/2006 2:14:12 PM

hes a pimp puttin 25 on a 13 teamer, haha.

9/11/2006 2:26:27 PM

this must be a joke

both teams are favored tonight, he's this close to 200K and both teams are favored...most would hang on.

http://www.bodog.com/sports-betting/nfl-football.jsp


even if its not a joke, he really expects someone to pull 50k-100k out of their ass and hand it over for some internet gambeling thing? come on.

9/11/2006 3:05:10 PM

certainly you do realize that people gamble large sums of money

9/11/2006 3:11:33 PM

like i said...he is just testing the markets...

also, the teams are favored but they still have to cover the spread

9/11/2006 3:16:13 PM

^^ certainly, though if i was involved in virtually any transaction over 10K or so I would want to make sure all the legal ends are taken care of. i wouldn't go down to the bank and get a cashiers check for 50K and hand it over...how would i do due diligence in 4 hours?

but his question wasn't if we wanted to buy it, he was curious about where to sell it.

^ yeah forgot about the spread...if i had that much money on the line i would be curious about options too.

9/11/2006 3:19:31 PM

Be real interesting to see if they hit, 200K on 50 bucks is a good return. Id hang on for sure.

bttt after the games, party at that guys house if they win.

[Edited on September 11, 2006 at 3:52 PM. Reason : go skins]

9/11/2006 3:51:29 PM

His best bet is to find a couple of hot girls to be in his vicinity while watching the game... simply the excitement over winning a couple hundred thousand is good for some ass.

9/11/2006 3:53:39 PM

$3.50

9/11/2006 3:57:12 PM

fuck selling the first one the Chargers are a lock tonight.


The Skins to cover is sketchy though...


I dont know how in the world you could legally transfer a parlay card that is illlegal in NC in the first place though...

his best bet is to sell some action to some friends or something....

I doubt he'd be able to find anyone to give him more than $10K for this action on this short notice... and that's if he found some bookies/drug dealers who may or may not cheat him out of his money.

his best bet is to keep his mouth shut, hope he wins, and claim the win on his tax return...

9/11/2006 3:58:23 PM

He has already correctly picked 12 games

why doesn't he trust his judgement for the last ones?

9/11/2006 3:58:30 PM

apparently he'd rather make a quick 50k rather than risk losing it
though no one is stupid enough to pay him 50k for it...

9/11/2006 4:04:28 PM

you don't think there's people that put 50k on the chargers to win tonight? and you don't think they would rather get 2 to 1 on that 50k?

9/11/2006 4:07:46 PM

I'm not saying theres not people who would like $50K on the Chargers tonight...

just dont see how he's gonna find them on this short notice in Raleigh, NC

If he's got connections in New York, Vegas, LA, or some area with serious gamblers then not having to pay juice would be a pretty nice deal for someone... however, how do you know theyll pay up if they lose?

If he's trying to get some action have him call some local bookies. I guarantee all the local bettors are hammering San Diego tonight (b/c of Rivers) and the bookies are looking for a way to lay some of that action off.

He could probably round up a few thousand depending on what kind of connections he has but dealing with that kind of money Id want to go through some people i knew were reputable from firsthand experience... not just becasue a friend of a friend told me he settled on a $250 bet three months ago...

[Edited on September 11, 2006 at 4:24 PM. Reason : a]

9/11/2006 4:23:58 PM

looks like he'll probably just hang on to them

9/11/2006 4:25:37 PM

good luck to him... i think the chargers are a great play tonight...

man it would suck if the redskins cover the first and then the chargers cost him $200,000

9/11/2006 4:28:04 PM

i was wondering when rallydurham would show up in this thread....should have just PMed him about this....

9/11/2006 4:39:15 PM

jesus christ what a phenominal situation to be in

9/11/2006 5:06:59 PM

he went 13 for 15 the weekend before on his picks for college football....i'm gonna start buying picks from him

bahahahahahaha, that indeed would suck.

what were the spreads that he was able to lock at?

9/11/2006 6:15:12 PM

it would actually be a sound move from tax reporting purposes

9/11/2006 6:22:43 PM

I did SportsInteractions free $500 one this weekend. Got 5 out of 6 right. The fucking Patriots fucked me.

Exactly what I was thinking. You can get those odds normaly. Hell, if I was the guy and only had $25 in on it, I would just keep it.

9/11/2006 7:19:23 PM

^ assuing theres someone who wants to bet someone giving him 50K-100K on games tonight...then yeah, its a sound move considering taxes.

but

You can not bet $50,000 to win $50,000 on the Chargers.

You'd have to bet $55,000 to win $50,000


I'd say $5,000 is a pretty significant savings if you were looking to make the play anyway...

9/11/2006 10:11:54 PM

i saw skins -4.5, so even if they score, tough shit, ouch

losing a chance at 100K = pain

9/11/2006 10:15:22 PM

i amazed that dude made the spreads on 11 games but just lost his 12th.

9/11/2006 10:17:35 PM

line ? vik 19 skins 16 poor fella

[Edited on September 11, 2006 at 10:24 PM. Reason : .]

but i didnt make anywhere near $100K

Wheres the party at reid?
