the reason why people recommend parlays is because when u use a Bonus Play its risk 100 to win ONLY what the to win is ..
my recommendation is to do a 2 team parlay...3 team is a slot machine at best....2 team is atleast doable and not greedy.
if u are stuck on making more than 2.6 to 1 than consider a few proposition bets as well...sometimes those pay 4to 1 or higher for very possible situations and is another way to make more than jus (to win) amount.
u can always jus do a First Bonus Play and collect the 90.90 or whatever if u win...that isnt bad either.
Gl in ur play

Default How to use Matchplay !
Lets say you won $11,000 worth of matchplay bets and you could break it up into any number of bets you desire.
Here's one good way to use it.
Play all 8 ways on a 3-teamer ( with half-point lines)
$1375 to win $8250 on each. One must hit yielding $8250 !
If you broke the $11,000 into 100 plays of 110 to win 100, and went an incredible 82-18, you're 82 winners would pay $100 each for a total of $8200.
I can't pick 82%, can you ?
If book won't allow these bets, you could achieve similar results by even randomly picking 3-teamers, just bet many small 3-teamers, for example 500 3-teamers at $22 each, you'll hit about 12.5 % of them. For example 62 of the 500 hit for $132 each, yieding $8184.
Do not straight bet with match play, even worse is betting ML favorites.
Now that the Matchplay is done, you can play normally to meet any needed rollovers.
