Basketball what are some rules?
I have the seahawks at -13.5 on my sports lottery ticket. They just scored.
its a four teamer-probably one of my last since their so bad for the BR.
Orl +5.5 won
sea -13.5
chi blackhawks +1.5
phx +13.5
20 wager 160.00 return ---this is what happens when you deal with gov't.

The actual odds of being able to flip a coin & call it correctly are 4-1.
The books will give you 2.65 to 1 on a 2 game parlay.
Of course you have the advantage of handicapping...but is that advantage enough to make up the difference between 4-1 & 2.65 to 1...likely not...not oven the sharpest in the workd could beat this i think?
Additionally if you want to bet on two team Parlay & both teams are not playing at the same time...ie 1pm & 8pm or Mondey night etc...
It is more benefitial to place your wager on the first team...If you win...Place entire amount on Second Team...You will make more money than you would have if you parlayed them Both...(Of course this doesnt work if games are played at same time).

SPORTSAVANT, your odds dont reflect that they will give you your bet money back as well if you win!
Or in other words, the coin flip scenario has actual odds of 3:1. Three times you wont get 2 heads and one time you will.
But going back to your example, if you three $100 2 team parlays and lose. Then you are down $300, but then you bet one and win, then you win $260 PLUS your $100 back.
The odds of a 2 team parlay are NOT NEARLY as abd as you amke them seem
I know because that is about all that I bet, and I bet them for upwards of $2000 each one

On a related story, I also bet 3 team parlays. Now the general odds of calling 3 heads in a row are 8 to 1. But that is just how people like ot refer to the odds. The true odds are 7:1 in that 7 times you wont roll 3 in a row but 1 time you will.
A three team parlay pays AT LEAST 6 to one

I am trying to figure out the math of betting two teams separately instead of a 2 team parlay. I never thought of this.
i just did a two team parlay for $50.00. My balance is $182.83 now.
If I bet the first game at $50, my balance would be 95.50 with a -110 juice.
If I take the 95.50 and bet the second game. My balance is $182.41. Where am I going wrong with my math?

I went through this in another thread, but don't know where it is.
Basically 2 team parlays are SLIGHTLY worse than betting the two teams separately ( and letting your winningsd from the firdt game ride) at -110.
3 team parlays are actually SLIGHTLY better than letting it ride three times in a row.
When I say slighlty, I am talking about something like less than 1%
