    do they pay or am I wasting funds

    I enjoy the big challenge hadicapping for my second year and wonder if I am wasting funds daily betting huge parlays thinking that there may be a limit to winnings that can be had. I did hit one last year for 16K and feel good about today.

    Is there a point that I am over doing it because they won't pay anyhow? Only $153 invested here for nearly 400K return

    most places have a max parlay payout, 5Dimes for instance is 500k. Make sure you find out what your books limit is. Regarding whether they will pay or not, this is why you only bet with trusted books. I would bet my life that bookmaker or 5dimes would pay out on a huge parlay (I've already hit one at bookmaker, similar to the one you had last year).

    Payouts look big on parlays but odds are worse than straight wagers. Sucker bets. ( I still put one in here and there for fun.)

    I limit my parlays to 2, 3 sometimes 4 teams Ken. Granted, they're not gonna pay as much but you stand a better chance at hitting consistently over time. The payout is pretty damn good if you can hit a major multiple team parlay like the ones you have listed, but the over all odds are so phenomenally against you.

    I would try breaking some of those large ones into smaller 3 team parlays and increase your bet amount. It will pay off better in the long run bro. Good luck.

    Parlays are crucial in MMA.
