Against my better judgment, I'm going to have a money line parlay week.

Cowardly parlay:
$400 to win $345
Bowling Green (-350)
UCLA (-500)
Florida State (-1165)
LSU (-165000)
Ohio State (-1500)
Temple (-2400)

Risky parlay:
$268 to win $604
Oregon (-300)
Nebraska (-255)
Ole Miss (-275)
Memphis (-350)

Luck o' the Irish (because I feel like I'll need it):
$110 Notre Dame pk (-110)

Question: Since I got one 100 dollar bet right and another 100 dollar bet wrong, wouldn't they just cancel out and i'd have the same amount as last week?


200$ Oregon -8

Only if the bet you got right was an even money bet. If they were both at -110 odds, you'd lose $9 or so.

Can I "buy" in again and run a negative balance until my new winning strategy gets me positive??
