    Correlating parlays with Tigers -150 and Cards +405

    I do not see the Tigers losing this World Series..
    and I see this line possibly going higher especially
    after Verlander's outing.
    Still, the Cards have +value in parlays @ +405.
    I also think they have a very small chance to win it all
    based on experience, whereas the Giants have no chance
    to beat Detroit.

    With the "Field" -355 (Field wins WS, not Giants),
    its better to parlay Tigers -150 and Cards +405
    separately with select other plays.

    If the Cards win tonight they will be around +160 -+180 to
    win WS, no longer +405...

    The Giants won it all in 2010.
    The Cardinals won it all in 2011.

    Yet the Cardinals can win it all based on experience, but the Giants can't? The Giants also have the best manager in baseball, and TLR isn't walking through the Cardinals' clubhouse door tonight.

    I'm not saying the Giants can't win tonight, but that only the Cardinals have any value at +405 to face the Tigers. This is a personal estimation, I do not believe the Giants are capable of beating Detroit. Tigers are the hands down likely winner of this WS either way...

    In theory you're right Snow, and as a Tiger fan, I hope it plays out that way.

    I will say this though: the NL champ will be better at manufacturing runs, will know how to play small ball and utilize team speed, will be better defensively and have a better bullpen than Detroit. Tigers will have the superior offense either way and their starting pitchers have been terrific and are all in prime age, but their defense is weak, they have no team speed and their bullpen is shaky at best.

    I use 5d and had no problems. Whether you use tennis, soccer, NCAAF, I correlated
    some with Detroit (the heavier wager), and smaller ones with St. Louis. Use the
    Props checkbox, not the MLB checkbox, no problems...
    they can have whatever "policy' they want, and of course if you call
    and ask "do you allow correlated parlays", someone may say no, but
    i've been doing it a long time there.

    btw this is not technically a Correlated Parlay.
    The parlays are not fixed to an event with only two outcomes possible.
    If the Giants win, I only have Detroit.
    If St. Louis wins, I have both.
