    What do you think of this parlay? $30 to win $45,000

    Cavaliers to win outright +220

    Lebron's chance to finally bring home a trophy to his hometown. Last year he almost single handedly beat a Warriors team without Love or Irving. Warriors haven't done anything this playoffs. They beat two bad teams.

    Cubs to win outright +300

    Seem like the best team in baseball and Chicago has been waiting on a World Series for quite sometime now. This team has the best pitcher in the game, and the best hitters. There's no deficit this time can't come back from.

    Penguins to win outright +200

    Just beat one of the best teams in Hockey and have been playing amazing. Lots of experience.

    Patriots to win outright +800

    Who in the AFC is going to give the Pats trouble? The Steelers, Bengals, Colts?

    France to win Euros +333


    They have the best team at the Euros and will be playing at home.

    I wouldn't argue France has the best team (Is Benzema even playing?) and I wouldn't bet them to win the Euros.

    The two best teams in the Euros are Germany and France. Griezmann is at the top of his game and would start over Benzema anyway.

    Griezmann-Mueller France
    Martial, Payet-Reus, Ballarabi France
    Kante, Pogba, Matuidi-Ozil, Gundogan, Kroos Germany
    Ginter, Hector-Sagna, Evra France
    Varane, Koscielny-Boateng, Hummels Germany
    Lloris-Neur Germany

    You could argue for either country to have the better side and you wouldn't be wrong, however playing on home soil is a huge benefit and I think that will be the reason for France's success. Not to mention Germany will most likely have to play Belgium to get a shot at playing France.

    I want to know where you're getting a five-team parlay that pays 1,500-to-1.

    Cavs lose. Pats lose. Gstate wins. And if I had to bet early I would say steelers come out of afc. Overall not good

    Given you say re the payout of 45,000, I love this. But no way for $30 you are getting $45,000. People are knocking 1 or 2 of try selections, but think they are missing the point. All of those teams have a shot.

    Rather put Raptors to win East. Don't think they can beat Warriors but they are surely a live dog against Cavs.

    Most books should offer you those odds. If you make that parlay at Betfair sportsbook you get 1397,25

    The odds on the exchange are as follows:
    Cavs 3,65
    France 4,4
    Patriots 9,6
    Cubs 5,1
    Penguins 2,92

    Which should give a parlay odds of ( if you could parlay them ): ( 3,65 * 4,4 * 9,6 * 5,1 * 2,92) = 2296

    I think most if not all european books offer this. I dont know about US facing books though. But there should be no reason not to offer these types of bets. The outcomes are not correlated in any way.

    Everyone of your picked teams have a chance but for all of them to hit you just have much luck so why not its only 30

    Guys Cavs +220, Cubs +300, Patriots +800, France +333, Penguins +200. Parlayed results in staking $30 to win $45,000. Also the book is bet365.

    lol another huge obstacle presents itself...Idk, France finally looked convincing in their last game and Germany lost a few players in Hummels, Gomez and Khedira. Germany did not look very good with Gomez because they don't have a true striker on their team. Khedira is a huge loss as well because you don't want schweinsteiger playing 90 min. Hummels another huge loss as one of the best centre backs in the world. So let's look at the matchup once again. Now I'm just guessing here:

    Forward: France
    Giroud-Mueller
    Payet-Draxler
    Griezmann-Schurrle

    Midfield: France
    Pogba-Ozil
    Sissoko-Kroos
    Matuidi-Schweinsteiger

    Defense: Germany
    Evra-Kimmich
    Umtiti-Boateng
    Koscielny-Mustafi
    Sagna-Hector

    Goalie- Germany
    Lloris-Neuer


    France are the more talented side playing at home. Germany just played a very tough match and that's what I expected when I capped France to win the Euros. 120 minutes is a lot from these players, and now they have to go play the French. The older guys will definitely feel it. I don't know I guess I could partially cash out, but France looked pretty convincing yesterday and were able to take the 2nd half very easy and not overexert themselves.

    Damn! Good stuff right here! Wish there was a way to start hedging right after France wins.

    Because we know Cubs are going to win!
