Why Sports Bettors Should Avoid Parlays

The parlay bet is a lot like Casey Anthony (or Michelle Rodriguez if you prefer), simultaneously very attractive and highly dangerous. For anybody unfamiliar with this bet type, a parlay is a combo bet with two or more wagers linked together. If any of the bets in the parlay lose, then the entire parlay loses. However, bettors can sometimes parlay several teams together for massive one-time payouts.

Parlays are most popular during football season where bettors will oftentimes string together a dozen bets in hopes of striking it rich, and sportsbooks readily play into this get-rich-quick mentality. You’ll never hear sportsbooks talking about the stockpile of losing tickets but, as you can see from the tweet below, they’re more than willing to discuss the winners.

they're not that bad... 3 team parlay card wagers most popular bet in vegas for small timers. these pie in the sky 6-15 teamers aren't viable but starting one and leaving open spots to fill later not a bad idea now and then.

[Mr KLC]

I really thought I would have a better parlay record at this point, especially being up in individual game units.

[pavyracer]

Sucker bets. It has been proven. Bet all 3 on individual plays. You go 2-1 you make a profit. With parlay you lose wager with one loss. Don't be a sucker. Be smart.

[thetrinity]

ill do a degenerate one on 5dimes for like 5 bucks occasionally, never do one even 2 teams

[lakerboy]

Only 2 teamers in nba if book let's you do side and total on same game.

[jjgold]

KC your a square gambler of course

No one with a clue bets parlays

[GunShard]

Two team parlay should be the max to decrease your odds of losing.
