    Can someone explain to me how open parlays work? Its the same as a regular parlay, except you dont have to select all the games at once? How long do I have to close the parlay? Do I have to close it before the first game is played or can games be played before I close it? And most importantly, are the odds the same as a regular parlay? Thank you guys

    Yes. You are correct. Basically it works the same way a normal parlay would work.

    The only difference being you don't have pick all your teams to start with. For example you can San Francisco Giants tonight at -140 and leave 5 open spots for a 6 team parlay. These parlays do not ever expire so you can wait weeks for your next selection if you choose to.

    Ive hit quite a few big parlays in my day(a few 5 figure, and acouple 6 figure)...but squandered most of it trying to win more...but they were all at once. Never tried grinding out an open one before, may have to give it a go.

    Also I I forgot to ask, if I start say a 8 teamer, but decide at 6 I want to stop...is that possible or would I have to finish out the 2 remaining legs?
