2-team and 3-team parlay systems

[shankscomp]

I've been toying around on paper for the last 2 months a 2 team and 3 team parlay system. I've read the 2-team parlay before from another website, and have extended it to a 3-team parlay. This is where I'm picking the top 2 or 3 Favorites and putting them into a parlay. Then if the parlay looses, I just raise my bet by 10% of the original. From my math, the longest losing streak was 4 days.

What's your thoughts?

[amarius87]

thats pretty solid if longest you have gone is 4 days. based on what you are saying the odds are probably between 2.10-2.5 for two teamers and around 2.90-3.7 for three teamers.
maybe keep a record on here of your picks regardless if on paper on not.
seems like an interesting system.
post your plays

From my math, the longest losing streak was 4 days.

What's your thoughts?

Just want you to clarify to make sure, you say here if you lose you only raise your bet by 10% but on your chart you have 25,50,75,100.

Shankscomp that is an awesome breakdown.. If you don't mind maybe post each of your parlays. But solid winnings! Also can you post the lines as well cause who ever follows would be perhaps be using different books and a top favourite for you might be different. And rather then looking up on 5 dimes and comparing it will be easier. I'll be following for sure!! As long as you post your plays ! This might also be a good strategy for the upcoming NHL season ahead of us as well! Thanks
