I guess you could hope for a rainout in that game that you bet both sides of.

Simply put, parlays pay out less than straight bets.

Maybe true for -110 NFL bets but baseball parlays pay true odds. If not you need another book/local.

BTW: As some have calculated the best way to determine odds is to take the total return and divide by the total stake or $450.50/200 (+125) vs $315/200 (-174).

I have 5dimes. How do baseball parlays pay out true odds if -110 and -110 baseball parlay still pays the same 260?

they pay the math odds, 4 teams at -110 usually pays 10-1 in hoops, in bases it pays what 4, -110's should pay.

same deal if you parlay ML's in any sport, they just simply the -110's to +260, and +600 ( a tad better) on 3 teams, then most rip you off on 4 or more teams at -110.

Marijuana rules! This is one of the funniest fucking threads I've ever read.

One time my buddy and I got stoned, and we were trying to remember all of the Sweet 16 matchups. We knew that Georgia Tech played Kansas, but we couldn't remember who Kansas played.
