sure i play them,i am the biggest square in the world
SII didn't mean to come off like you didn't know anything.
Basically you are taking heavy ML's ... almost none of which offer value and combining them.
So the books let you take lines that are unfavorable and combine them and payout shitty. Its clear to anyone that you can't win because the heavy ML's dont offer value and you are parlaying them in a payout that isn't favorable. Where the advantage?

Show me a guy that parlays MLs........I'll show you a guy that is likely going to be a lifetime loser.
Why?
There is nothing mathematically wrong with parlaying MLs. The huge problem is
1. MLs vary a great deal. It's very rare that you will find the best price on each ML at one shop to parlay them. So basically, you parlay a +200 ML, with a 240 ML with a 250 with a -160. But you could have gotten 200, 250, 265, and -153 if you had shopped. Hard enough to win even when you shop. And now you just drop your pants and say to the book "Give it to me at whatever line you have". Yikes.
2. 90% of the time on each bet, the side bets for a shopper are going to be superior to the ML.
Someone who plays these recreational bets is like a 21 player telling me "I'm good but I like to split 2s vs. an Ace, just for the heck of it. But aside from that, I play really strong.
Right...........Sure you do. Sorry, the truth is that mistakes are really isolated incidents. Most bettors typically play strong all the time (1 percent of them) or play badly all the time (99%).

Sometime I will parlay a ML dog to a straight bet. For example this weekend the Bengals are plus 255 at St. Louis, and the Jags are -1 -107, over the Saints in Jacksonville. I can risk 100 to win 587 by parlaying the two (Bengals and Jaguars). Sure playing the Bengals only, on the ML, is a possibility, but the almost 6 to 1 on the two teamer is imo. stronger. (all handicapping aside, this is an example). Playing them as separate straight bets, I am risking 100 to win 255 on the Bengals, and 107 and minus 1 point, to win 100 on the Jags. Fez, I would appreciate your opinion, if you have the time, and inclination, regarding this play.
Thanks, wil.
Thanks, wil.
I prefer straight bet money lines or teasers, although I have done it occasionally. Seems like SAC and LAL play a lot of Sunday nights at home and I have been known to parlay them on Sunday night. I will tease if the line is 7-8 usually. You can bet open teaser at Millenium so you can play one at a time.
The West is dominant vs the East in Hoops. Sac was undefeated last year at home vs the East.
