Because certain shops deem the RL/total parlay as correlated.

Very few books still allow the -1.5/o and +1.5/u

The games arent correlated with one another. The RL/total w/in the same game are correlated according to certain shops.

I think a RL and regular total is one thing, but there definitely is some correlation with a RL and a "super" total like that. Books take on some risk letting a player bet a regular total and RL, but the added odds they give with a super total is probably more risk than they should be taking. After all if a game goes to 12 runs or more the chances of a team winning by 2 runs is quite high and if a book is paying out 3-1 on that total then I can't blame them for blocking the parlay to a RL.

Your overlooking another factor also.......some books do not allow a four team parlay that involves all dogs.

I have yet to see any book accept a parlay involving the total & run line on same game!

OVER 11 +185 is considered a prop bet and you cant parlay prop bets
