I would love to hear some angles to talk me off of this. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds good to me, give any team 10 points against the Ravens and you're in, you'd think, and Carolina might win straight-up.

Weekend, as an ex-bookie, no I am not ACE-ACE, you are always trying to make punters have bets that yield a bigger % in favour of the book. The formula is easy, more bets, bigger %.
When I was bookmaking the profit margin worked out roughly as follows.

Single bets 0-10 %
doubles 10-20 %
trebles and upwards 20-50%
Specialty bets 70-90%
Futures 25-40%

It is nice when you hit one of these bets and you always remember them, but you have to convince yourself that in the long run you will lose. In 35 years of gambling I have met plenty people who have made money gambling but have never met anyone who has made money other than playing single bets.
Take shots at these type of bets occasionly , but dont let them affect your overall profitabilty.

Nice post winbet. I was wondering if you read this, which books in either Ireland or the UK are your favorites? My top 2 are Skybook and Pinnacle. I was looking for one in the UK thinking that maybe i could find some variations in the lines. If you know of any good ones, i would appreciate the tip. thanks a lot.

A quote from somewhere:

It's like a sharp bookmaker once told me..."if you play parlays and teasers you'll be owing your whole life. Stick to the sides."

#1 rule I stick by...just my opinion
