parlay payouts

VinnytheWorm · Dec 22, 2004

I'm looking for a good book with the highest payouts on football parlays. :icon_conf

TheGeneral+ · Dec 22, 2004

Bodog may be a good choice for you.

Illini · Dec 22, 2004

One of my new favorite books is 5 Dimes, and they are the best place for parlays. On 3-teamers and above, they pay what the true odds would be if you just parlayed your bets as you go by betting straight bets at -110 juice. Bodog might do the same, or pretty close to it, but their lines suck.

2-team 2.6/1 (true odds are 2.64/1)
3-team 6/1 (better than the true odds of 5.96/1, but all books pay 6/1)
4-team 12.28/1
5-team 24.35
6-team 47.41
7-team 91.42
8-team 175.44

Most books pay 4-team 10/1
5-team 20/1
6-team 40/1
7-team 75/1
8-team 150/1

If you are a recreational bettor like me, then you probably like parlays. It's not a huge difference, but you asked for the best parlay book. 5 Dimes is your book. Enjoy!

Illini · Dec 22, 2004

5 Dimes even lets you buy points on parlays, which is very rare. Listen to me, I sound like a shill! But I love that book.

Redneckman · Dec 22, 2004

I think it's good policy to mix a moneyline into the parlay, especially a dog, really spices up the payoff.

charleslanger · Dec 22, 2004

I like 5dimes, but actually, there are better odds payoffs--: you should be able to find 2.8 for 2, 6½ for 3, 13 for 4, 26 for 5..................

better, yet- look for any book w/ anything below dime lines that pays parlays at True Odds(actual odds-- however they label them)... and you would theoretically beat above-mentioned payoffs......

RobFunk · Dec 22, 2004

general. .lol

actually i think abc islands has the highest payout odds on 2-8 teamers

TheGeneral+ · Dec 22, 2004

Am I way off Rob? I took the info from our perks page. I rarely play parlays, so I am not up to par at all on them.

Who pays 6.5 to 1 on a three-teamer? Those are what I play, so let me know, and I'll sign up immediately!

RobFunk · Dec 22, 2004

oh ya definatly general. .i apologize, i thought you were being sarcastic

its usually what illini says

Most books pay 4-team 10/1
5-team 20/1
6-team 40/1
7-team 75/1
8-team 150/1

actually bodog 12-1 on 4 teamer and 5 teamer 25-1 is pretty good but they get you from there on out. .so you were still right, depending on how many teams you play

TheGeneral+ · Dec 22, 2004

Cool. Nice to have the forum to get things straight.

Hey Robbie, how do you like my avatar? About time you put a new girl in your rotation, don't you think? What do you mean "it's usually what Illini says." What's that mean, kid?

RobFunk · Dec 22, 2004

yes that is a good avatar do you think that guy contributes to that huge home court advantage you guys have?

"it's usually what Illini says." . ..was just talking about the standard parlay payouts you posted.

bulldog77 · Dec 22, 2004

WWTS is offering 6.5 to one on 3 parlays right now but who knows how long it will last. They said they would have even money 6 point teasers on Friday nights for all of NFL season but stopped them last week.

Illini · Dec 22, 2004

Hey bro, parlays have been good to me, even though you all probably laugh at me for loving them. I don't think the chief contributes so much to the home court, although he is almost worshiped here. Bill Self ignited a fire in the crowd when he got here. It basically started in Feb 2001 against Mich St. The Illini fans all just loved his intensity, and Bruce Weber has just continued it. I think we have a better coach than we did then, and that's saying a lot, because we were crushed when Self shunned us. Illinois has always been a good basketball school, but this new era is something else. Make a trip out here and experience it. You can just bet your balls on the game to pay for the trip, because this team will not lose at home.

Illini · Dec 22, 2004

Rob, can I request that chick from the movie "Urban Legend?" You probably know who I'm talking about, but I don't know her name. Hottest girl alive by far.

Good thread for parlay players.

Thanks

charleslanger · Dec 23, 2004

:howdy: Re 6½-1 odds, besides the couple of fine examples already given, there's also this Friday Special:

Every Friday throughout the year, we offer a 5% reduced juice special on Football, Basketball and Hockey. As a result, Parlay odds skyrocket, but only if you make your bet on Friday. Nobody comes even close to matching these parlay payouts.

No where else in the world will you get paid $30,066 for making a $10 winning 12 team parlay. How frustrated will you be when you get paid only $6,000 at our competitors for your winning 12 team parlay and you leave $24,066 sitting on the table.We give you full value for your wagers.

Also, when you do your research, beware of FOR vs TO -1(6½ for 1 actually means 5½ to 1)

Don't know 'bout Infinity rep, but they even pay 7-1(this is incredible-- the equivalent of +100 on each team: no vig), though their 2-teamers suck(relatively speaking, since it's very easy to find 14-5 / 2.8-1 all over):

they're here: http://www.betoninternet.com/odds.php3

I prefer books that calculate at true odds, unless if my selections' average odds are high enough to throw a lower win: if each team in a parlay is/averages-105, the payouts will beat those of the highest possible fixed payoff table you can ever find, -108 will still beat a lot of the higher ones, -110 will still beat almost all average & below average ones, whose levels more resemble parlays of -125 & up.

I would rather first do the following:

#1 Always parlay manually if possible-- can't beat the payoffs(most of the times we have some - & some + odds in our parlays, averaging Even money for all & thus leaving behind a huge & of profits, even if we utilize the highest parlay table odds available on Earth!), can lock in a guaranteed profit by holding back a portion, etc.

#2 Calculate the payoffs to see where/how it's best to place the bet-- since even the favorable tables will often have one or two sucky payoff levels.

Comparison table at different odds--avg. rate--only Profit is shown-- adding 1 to each gives Total Payoff:

To quantify the differences in laymen's terms:

For the two teamers, each time A. Studley Handicapper wins, he's receiving an extra 20-40% of the base bet-- or conversely, the win rate can be 20-40% worse, and he/she will still make more money: by just switching to a book with 14/5 rather than 13/5 payouts, OR Manually Parlaying instead!!

For the three-teamers, 50-100% translates to A. Square Bozo can have a win % up to half less, and still make out better profit-wise: contrast 15% winners for Studley, he can hit at 7-10% and make more.

The other levels just throw horrendous differences: contrast a Studley hit rate of 6-7% for the 4 & 5 -teamers; which profits can be about equalled by Bozo's ½ of 1 percent win rate.
