I’m talking specifically about [something like this](http://statsandshots.com/freaking-out-rn/) where there are 20 games picked. Couldn’t you just pick 20 games in the first few weeks of the college football season when all of the really good teams play really crappy schools? Same goes for something like college basketball. What’s the catch?

I dabble in sports betting. You might notice some numbers, either + or -, next to many of the bets. That means that the team listed either gets those points added to their score (+7) or gets that many points removed from their score (-7). In that way, you can have an even matchup for a game like Morgan State vs Army. Morgan State got 49.5 extra points but they didn’t lose by more than 49.5, so if you bet on Morgan State with the points you would have won. You probably could have bet on Army to straight up win that game, but you would have probably had to have bet tens of thousands of dollars just to win $100. On the other hand, you could have bet on Morgan State to win straight up (just win the game) and a $100 bet would have probably returned tens of thousands of dollars.
With a parlay, you’re stringing a lot of bets together. I usually only bet 4-5 teams max on a parlay but this person only bet 89 cents on what would lose probably 699,999 out of 700,000 times. They need the Redskins to win tonight or they lose their 89 cents. If the Redskins win, they’ll win just short of half a million dollars.
