Correlated Parlay Question

[BranFlakes]

In order for a parlay to be correlated, doesn't the parlay have to involve two outcomes for the same event (IE side and total on the same game)?

If you have sides or totals all on different games involved on your parlay then this would not be correlated.Correct?

Sides and totals are ok from different games. Most books will correlate a high spread such as Boise State tonight -17½ and 61 and restrict a parlay between them but you can use either one with any other team or total

 

[BranFlakes]

Thanks for the info. Fits with my thought process too. Will a book eliminate the high spreads as options to parlay even if they are not used with totals on same game?

Probably depends upon their software.

Thanks to both for the info.

generally we only restrict preseason circled games to straights only. It's only things that books see a customer advantage in that get restricted...

I had an agent allow his customer hook up the faves and overs on those games.. customer took every ncaa fave and over parlay and won big two weeks in a row. agent stopped him after that

Some books disallow all correlated parlays. Other books will take correlated parlays up to a certain percentage. 25-30% seems to be the norm for books accepting correlated parlays.

I remember early days of software when they wouldn't catch them.

btw pinnacle doesn't stop them at all.. just put in a couple for the boss

Yeah, thats one of the things that make them Special

 

[raiders72]

With Pinnacle the difference has to be 10 or more points.

nope. one was 15 and the other 21 both fine parlayed side to total

 

[raiders72]

-15 with a total of 21? Maybe they cut it in half for HT and make it 5.

Not always. Late in the season, when playoff position jockeying occurs, Correlated parlays can involve different games. Some books restrict it, some don't.

1st parlay - side 15 and total 63½
2nd parlay - side 21 and total 63½

same game 2 team pars

When I said 10 points, I meant a difference of 10 points between line and total......... Some books use a 25% mark. If a line is -10 with a total of 40, they accept correlated parlay. If it -11 and 40, they won't take it. It differs book to book. No one is going to take -43 with a total of 50.

 

[BranFlakes]

Another question please,

Do most books allow NFL parlays involving sides and totals on the same game when the sides are say 5 points or less? I assume this becomes more of an issue on NCAA Football games when you have very high sides on a game than it does in the NFL. Correct?

Thanks for educating me on this issue. Appologize if these are stupid questions.

Most books don't allow same game parlay. Ie Den -7 and Under 48

I've done it on the Superbowl in Nevada. They wont let you if the spread and total are close though, and you can't do it on Puckline and totals ever.

 

[raiders72]

Baseball - They won't let you parlay RL to total. (there may be a few that still do that I don't know of)
Hockey- Can't parlay PL to total.
NFL and NCAA -
1. Can't parlay side to total or
2. Can parlay if the side is less than 25% of the total. I think some use 30% or
3. Pinnacle - You can parlay as long as the difference between the side and total is 10 or more points.
