I never bet parlays. Is that a bad thing?

[TheGeneral+]

Have a hard enough time winning one bet, let alone 2 or more tied together. Convince me to play parlays.

Thanks

Parlays are the only way little guys like me can make huge coin in one day. I've had success with 3-teamers, but I don't go higher than 3. For one thing, at least the 6-1 payout on a 3-teamer is fair.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

I get f'd on parlays all the time. You are smart.

Baseball, been good to me on parlays. I really dont play any other sports, once in a while I will parlay sacramento to the over or Dallas and over or Phoenix and over.

I think longshot sportsbook parlays offer much better value
than scratch or lottery tickets.

Play parlays when the parlay makes the bet better than betting str8 only. Usually a 2-teamer. Like a big dog parlayed to a low total. When your chance of going either 2-0 or 0-2 seems excessively likely.

A case can certainly be made for 3-teamers paying 7-1.

Nothing really terribly wrong with X's shot, better than lottery for sure, just keep it to like one of those daily. I used to do that, but quit.

xfiles,,,, where are you getting such big odds on parlays?

everybody has those odds .. do the math. its just a bunch of huge multipliers.

I just noticed that he had a lot of ml dogs on that parlay.

What books give the best odds on parlays of 5 teams or higher and are there any books that you can buy pts. for parlays.

5 Dimes is pretty good for that. They give you actual odds. For example, a 4-teamer pays 12.28/1, and 7 teamers pay just over 91/1, at -110 juice. And you can buy points on parlays, which is something you can do at only a few books.

I usually bet ML parlays on favorites. They have worked for me so far. Many times I have won the parlay when the teams do not cover the regular pointspread. This way I have interest in many gmaes without risking a lot of money.

Think I will just stay away for awhile longer. I am losing enough lately w/out parlays in my arsenol. Thanks for the feedback.
