Good bet or Bad Bet?

I put $20 down to win $120 on a 3 game parlay this sat.

K-State -3 over Oklahoma State
Oklahoma -6 over Texas
Nebraska -7 over Mizzou
 
OK St. can put up some numbers. Better hope K St. doesn't come out flat gain like a week or two ago.

Nebraska and OK appear to be solid. However, I hate taking big rivalry games like OK and UT. Never know.

Best of luck.

I like to refer these questions to my own little fun program. Of course there are multiple computer programs out there, and mine is just an amature having fun. But it gives you good insight into what will happen if BOTH TEAMS PLAY AVERAGE. Just subtract the numbers of each team and add 3 or so points to the home team. Of course if one team is cold or the other team is hot anything can happen (the fun of football and its many upsets).

It says: K State and Oklahoma State are tied. So give 3 points to Oklahoma State for being at home. So I'm saying Oklahoma State will win by 3. Also remember K States road streak against good teams: 0 W, 70 L!

It says: Oklahoma will win. 148.1 - 133.7 - 3 = 11.4 points that Oklahoma will win by.

It says: Nebraska will win. 133.8 - 114.6 - 3 = a 16 point blowout by Nebraska.

So I think you will hit 2 out of 3. Of course since K State and Oklahoma State are so closely matched, you might get lucky and win. You are basically risking $20 to get $120 - so I'd have to say while you will likely lose it is a good bet.

Are you a Big 12 fan? I'm typing this from the Nebraska campus right now...

Im a Kansas/Kansas State fan. K-State looked much better vs Texas than they did the past few games, so I'm hoping they can stop a 3 game skid. I only took the K-state bet because it was 3 points...had it been higher than 3, I wouldn't have taken it.
 
well i would agree with the OU-UT game
its either going to be a blowout with OU winning or a 3 pt game, i think.
either way, OU wins though.

OSU - K state.....hard to tell there, i would probably take that, as long as k-state blitzes fields( of course they will) and are able to get to him, its going to be a long day for the cowboys. if wildcats cant get to him, then who knows.

nebraska- mizzou is probably your lock.

Well...we DID destroy them last year. I think the score was 44-9..but this seems to be a much different K-state team this year.
 
well i follow OSU pretty closely
considering i went to school there.
there are some key injuries on OSU D
elbert craig a safety tore his ACL and is through for the season
lawrence pinson a LB and leading tackler broke his ankle and is out for the season too.
so your bet might be a good one.
its still hard to tell though
 
It depends on what you call a bad bet... I think you'll hit two out of three, or possibly all three wins will be correct but you won't get the margin of victory you need. However, a five fold payoff isn't a bad call. Given the opportunity, I would have taken that bet, too.

Good luck.

Remember to pull for the Jayhawks over Colorado!

in all seriousness, i think the k-state game will help determine that
if OSU keeps winning, they are like that a very streaky team, but the same could be said about the losses, when they come, they come in bunches and it doesnt get much easier, k state, texas tech, texas, OU, AM(maybe not in the right order) but those are the upcoming games. and im not a typical OSU fan who hates OU, im from OK and i will pull for both teams. i was a sooner fan through my childhood anyways, so im not going to stop cheering for them
sometimes i wish OSU were in the north though, like this year.

Thats how I am. I grew up a K-State fan, but now I like both KSU and KU (in all sports). It helps that I didn't go to either college.
