I have always wondered WHAT that is....can someone explain how it works? thanks

 

[Fishhead]

Dante- With say 3 SIDES, you could have a ROUND ROBIN PARLAY of three 2's and an ALL(one 3 teamer).

 

[Fishhead]

You do not have to include the ALL if you choose not to of course and just take the 3 2 teamers.

If you just win one game your screwed....nothing.

Hitting 2 of the 3 gives you one winning parlay.

Hitting all 3 and BINGO.........you have just hit three two-teamers!

 

[Dante]

thanks fish so basicly it gives you the opportunity to win a parlay if only 2 of your 3 teams win?

 

[Fishhead]

Yes, but you have lost 2 also remember.

This is a VERY popular way of betting baseball.

 

[Fishhead]

Would say Wil has played a few of these in his day.

 

[mvbski]

say you like 3 teams A,B,C it gives you three two team parlays A&B A&C B&C and if you like a three teamer

 

[wilheim]

A Round robin is a combo of parlays, you are betting all possible parlays for a certain number of teams.

A 3 team Round robin of two team parlays with Detroit -6.5, Boston +8, and Miami -1. This round robin gives you 3 two teamers. Detroit to Boston, Detroit to Miami, Boston to Miami. The bets are graded like you bet all spearately. Like Fishhead said: hit 1 out of 3 lose 3 bets, hit 2 out of 3 lose two, win one parlay, hit all 3 you win 3 parlays. Remember when you win, you are winning parlays, 13-5 for two teamers (laying -110).

I dont think so. I used to play them alot and always would break out even...since you have 3 2 team parlays:
A B C
2 team parlay: A-B 100=260
2 team parlay: B-C 100=260
2 team parlay: A-C 100=260

sO IF A LOSES
YOU MAKE 260 AND LOSE 200 FOR A PROFIT OF $60...BETTER WAY TO MAKE MONEY imo

 

[Fishhead]

These is much more of an advantage betting these in bases than foots or baskets mainly because...........

1. Money goes into money in bases and is essentially a true parlay payoff and not a mere 13-5 payoff.

2. Betting 3 teamers in foots and baskets limits one chances of finding a good betting number, which is essential to longterm profits.

 

[Fishhead]

Max- Just a bit of advice that you may allready know.

In this day in age of 2-team parlays, you should be playing at a book that offers at least 13.5-5 on 2 teamers.

There are also some books that offer 14-5 and believe it or not, even a couple that offer 3-1!

 

[wilheim]

Whenever I make any kind of parlay, or round robin using 3 team or more parlays - I add a Money Line bet among the the teams I bet. This will cause the parlay to be graded out accurately, rather than rounded off. Example tonight: Boston +5 -110, Chicago -5.5 -110, and Milwaukee +1.5 -110 would pay 6 to 1. Change Milwaukee to pick +110 - 100 to win 665. Perhaps some will say losing the 1.5 points is not worth $65.

Anybody besides Heritage have a good online way of betting round robins??

I love betting them for fun-may try them in baseball sounds like a good way to have a little cheap action.

 

[wilheim]

Pinnacle has a very easy to use Round Robin option. You go to parlays, enter at least 3 plays, and it will offer you a round robin option on the next page. Just highlight round robin, and enter amount to play.

Fishhead;
Who offers 3-1 on a 2 team parlay??

 

[JimFiestSux]

I play round robins in Football alot! Mainly focus on single plays though!

 

[Fishhead]

Max-
First Fidelity had a promo offering 3-1 on 2-teamers.

I also recall some other book, but dont remember.

Perhaps somebody else will mention it....or a few others.

Betting a 3-1 2-teamer is basically wagering at NO VIG.

Fishhead;
Right...should have thought about my question a little more...
Hell Baseball can provide those numbers when parlaying a money line....thanks..

RRs should typically be avoided for 99% of bettors. The obvious reason is that you won't get your best line on each game at one shop. So even with "true" payouts, you still are given the 'the business' since your +108 2nd leg was +111 somewhere else.

........you wind up cheating yourself by a few pennies along the way.
