what's your best "Parlay" book ?

[Doug]

I use Matchbook mainly, but sometimes you want a parlay, or something ( at full vig) that MB doesn't offer, like H1 of a CFL game.

I'm using Betjam right now for that stuff, mainly because you can deposit there with payandpaste w/o leaving home. They pissed me off a bit Sunday, I wanted to bet Montreal H1 ( CFL), line about -6 where available. Mont led by 10 at the half, but I had to lay about -11 for the full game and lost, instead of winning the bet, because they had no H1, neither did MB.

For these purposes I'm talking the likes of Bookmaker,Greek,Betjam, etc. I'll include 5D and Phoenix here, since they are full juice on something like a H1 or parlay.

Vegasvic would have been a nice choice, but they have some weird parlay rules ( no bigger dogs, etc.).

Betpop is the best parlay book, I know that.....but, I'm afraid to play there, I sort of burnt them for 5K indirectly by getting them to accept a transfer from Cascade, right before Uncle Lenny went stiff, plus I beat them huge, don't think I'm welcome back there. I did nothing shady there....just don't want to push things with them.

I think 5D is the best option to have for this, they'll have whatever you want. Bookmaker would be good too, but transfer fees kill you there.

Greek is probably good too, they'll have what you want, and transfer with others.

Anybody I'm overlooking that has many options, takes Gringos, and transfers, for when I want to parlay or take a CFL H1 or something ?

Looks like 5D is the best option here ?

Thoughts ?

wow, i didnt even know u cld parly at match, how stupid am I?

I find it very hard to find the BEST line on 2 or 3 events at the same book, thus parlays are few and far between for me.

There are some books that offer extra payouts on parlays tho.

You can't parlay at MB, Jack, thus my querie here !

Example:

Colo and SF with Colo around +170 and a total of 7 tonight. I'd not take Colo straight against Lincecum, but if Colo is going to win this....I think they get to Lincy, so a Colo and over 7 parlay makes better sense to me than straight Colo.

I don't parlay for the Hell of it.

Bettrojan. Their -105 lines extend to parlays as well, so you get +281 on two teamers instead of +260. Nice to have.

And before anyone says anything about them being stable, I've always been paid by them on time with a check. Takes about a week (although you do have to pay a fee for the check, in the interests of full disclosure).

EDIT: after reading the post right above mine, I don't think Trojan lets you parlay baseball totals and runlines. Though you could get moneyline + total.

I get +440 parlaying Colo +170 with over 7 +100 at Jam, instead of just +170 straight. I'm sure I'd do much better at MB than +170 on Colo, but I think Colo needs to push this over to win. Lincy wins it like 3-1, 4-1......loses it like 5-3, 5-4.

Colo winning is correlated to over ( somewhat), IMO, thus the parlay bet here, even at worse odds.

I used to use Trojan a lot, Mike is a good guy !

However, no more Neteller, if I win I want to be able to transfer to MB or somewhere.... not have a check sent. I increase my bet size when running good, and cash out only on a big score.... Trytrytry is similar, he doesn't withdraw much, if ever.

Transfers ( free) are very important to me, so I can get winnings back to MB.

+174 and +114 at MB, side is close, but the total at +100 isn't great. I still say if Colo wins, they go over 7, so it's correlated enough (IMO) to parlay it.

 

[Doug]

SF should get at least 3 runs off of Colo. Team total for SF is 4, with over at +103, under at -119. ( Pinny)

If SF gets just 3, and Colo wins, that means a minimum of 7 runs scored.

4-3 Colo is OK enough, get a push on the total, and still +170, +174 at MB isn't much better.

Parlay to over for Doug here, or pass the game.

I don't see colo winning 3-2 or so, more like 5-3 if they can win this. Lincy needs a mediocre or bad start, then Colo can win. Hammel isn't great, should give up 2-3, then the bullpen.

way more likely that if Colo wins this, it goes over, or at least pushes the low total.

For selection of events to parlay I've always like 5Dimes and Olympic in that regard. For best parlay odds 2, 3, 4-team etc. several years ago there was a book called Jaguar that really went after that market. I have no idea if they still exist or not. But they would offer 7 to 1 for 3-teamers, 12 or 13 to 1 (can't remember exactly) for 4-teamers, Etc.

For the best palay odds, I would use Bet POP.
