WTF-I just realized..Parlays suck.

I was just doing the numbers. Betting a parlay is the same thing as betting each game individually and then placing the winnings on the next game. I thought there was some type of bonus in getting all of the games correct.

ITS A SCAM!

Only advantage is 1) when games going on at same time and 2) locking in a line..but otherwise you are right..of course no juice..but if betting a 2 teamer and you do it individually you would have...Bet on team A and then team B..bet $100 on team A and they win then put $200 on team B (your initial $100 + the $100 you won)and could win total of $300 instead of if parlay hits winning $260...but if team A loses then lose $110 and in parlay would have only lost $100..As they say on TV..."You make the call"

we get it either way

Cedar...True However if you win your 100$ bet you have only 191...not 200$.

 

[CedarCreaker]

well actually you are right but you really put up $110 to win $100 ..so you really do have the $200...but if lose 2nd 1/2 you really lose $220..your initial $100 plus $20 juice...
