    1 Parlay a Day 5/31/09

    OK enough of this bullshit. I'm tired of losing and I'm tired of tailing other people's picks and those crap Service Plays which aren't worth shit. No offense to anyone here, I appreciate the input and capping, but I'd rather win/lose making my own decisions like I used to.

    I love parlays and teasers, that's how I made most of my money this year. So, I'm going to play a 3 team baseball parlay every single day for $25 starting Sunday 5/31/09.

    Here we go:

    Phillies -1.5 +145
    Royals -1.5 +125
    Rangers -1.5 +120

    $25 to win $278.19

    My biggest concern is not Greinke giving up runs but the Royals scoring them. We'll see, I'll either win or lose!

    Thanks.

    WTF? Good luck, but this is a terrible idea imo. First off, 3 team parlays are not very smart. If you want to go with parlays, make them two teamers. Secondly, why in the hell do you want to make it that much more difficult to win an already incredibly hard parlay by making them run line wagers?? That makes no sense at all.

    If this is how you are going to play them, I predict you win about 1 out of 15 of these...if you get lucky.

    My goal is to win 1 out of every 7 which means I'd be making money. I will try it for 2 weeks, if it doesn't work out then so be it. But I've hit my fair share of parlays over the last 3 months.

    I played the RL's because I want the bigger payoff, and all 3 could easily cover (or not).

    It's just how I want to bet right now, that's all. We'll see how it goes.

    Thanks.

    Alright. Good luck, but can I make one more suggestion? If you insist on playing these as run lines why don't you split the bet in some form or another? Bet half with a run line parlay and half with them all as a money line parlay, or some variation of that so if you are lucky enough to go 3-0 on the day you're guaranteed some benefit from doing so.

    BOL

    I won't always play the RL, but I think these 3 teams can all cover it tomorrow. There will be days I'll play all dogs SU or a combo thereof.

    Thanks for the advice. If I lose 14 straight it's only $350, the Cavs cost me that in one half of basketball the other night so this way I can play 14 days in a row without getting heartburn.

    I agree with jello last statement, it would suck if you picked 3 winners and got nothing out of it because they were all -1.5.

    I had a 9 team parlay on saturday. I hit 7 for 7 on team totals. I lost on 2 plays that I tallied from LT profits (angels Over 8.5 and whitesox over 8.5). I want to cry because I followed LT profits who was 0-4 on saturday. I agree with you that following someone else's plays will cost you. I would have won a lot of money if I had gone with a 7 team parlay. I do have some team total plays for tommorrow. I do ok with my team totals.

    Orioles team total over 4.5 (-120)
    Rays team total over 4.5 (-130)
    Brewers team total over 4.5 (-120)
    Angels team total over 5 (-120)
    Royals team total over 4.5 (-120)

    OK, here is what I'll do. On the days where I play the RL for all 3 picks, I'll also add a 2nd $25 parlay with the ML for all 3.

    So for Sunday I'll also play all 3 teams to win SU.

    Thanks for the input.

    roag if i can make a suggestion i know you like these three teams and want to parlay them but what about playing them all straight then a parlay in case 2 out of 4 hits that's including your parlay you will still win money as they are all underdogs using the runline and if you only hit one than you lose close to 50 depending on which one hits

    LOL. I think you're compounding your error by doubling the bets, but this is your thing man so enjoy it.

    Seriously. Good luck. I hope you hit tomorrow and make me look stupid.

    Because the juice is so high on these 3 to win SU, I don't want to risk that much money right now.

    I've done it this way twice in the last 8 months. The first time I turned $600 into $6600 by hitting a big parlay early on, but blew it all in January. Then I took $180 and turned it into almost 10K before I went on this big losing streak the last 2 weeks.

    I'm going to try it my way first and if I hit a couple early I'll change my betting style to what you've suggested (or similar), just like the last 2 runs I had.

    Thanks.

    The only reason I don't want to do that right now is because I'm on a cold streak. Arizona up 7-1 in the 7th the other day and lost. Toronto up 8-3 in the 8th and 10-8 in the 12th and lost. I can't buy a win right now so I'm going back to how I started both big runs in the first place.

    Once I get back on a hot streak then I'll bet more conventional.

    Remember, my name isn't "RoagBettor" for nothing!

    Gl Roag. It looks good. I say Phillies -1.5 +145 (60%) , Royals -1.5 +125 (80%) , Rangers -1.5 +120 (80%).
    I do similar parlays and i have a method to pick top 5 picks for a parlay a day.

    Today I hit, Phi -250, Mil -122, Det -127, Nyy -166, Tex -145, $15 to win $169.63

    I also agree with mixing ml n rl.

    Dont really post plays. Not too concerned with being the "best capper", just making money. I know there are alot of good cappers here and i respect them but on the flip side there are alot of cocky ignorant people as well. If u ever wanna chop it up jus shoot me a pm. Gl.

    Good luck bro. I would love to hit a 3 teamer, I used to play these often but I would only hit 2 out of 3. I'm with you on this one. These three teams should easily cover. Lets have some fun and make some money.

    Dude, I must say something.
    This is a perfect Round Robin
    Why?
    All 3 are +100 and up
    Whenever that happens in a 3-teamer, round robin it, (doesn't work if the ml is a negative -100)

    i.e. On your run lines for today:

    NYM -1 1/2 +160
    KC -1 1/2 +125
    TX -1 1/2 +130
    1 unit wins 10.25

    NYM +160
    KC +125
    1 unit wins 4.8

    NYM +160
    TX +130
    1 unit wins 5

    KC +125
    TX +130
    1 unit wins 4.2

    Wager 4 units, altogether
    2of 3 hits (worse case scenario is TX/KC) profit .2 units

    This way you are not assed out if you only get 2 of 3

    If you hit all 3, you are still a happy camper

    Make sense?

    I use Bookmaker. I tried Betus, didn't like it but maybe I'm just too used to Bookmaker.

    Let's make some money! I'll have a new parlay thread out tonight or in the morning for tomorrow's games.

    Thanks.
