    BTW That is a lot of bread though.
    If I had that kind of bread I would most likely only put 5 large as my stake and keep the rest but I dont have that kind of dough although on 4 0r 5 cc's I could match if they were not filled.

    That is most unlikely as I am mostly broke and drunk way too often, hell I made a stake out of my mortgage payment once

          6-3 after Padres hit back to back homers with 2 outs. I'm hoping for a 6-5 final

            DBacks win. I did lose 5K though as I hedged betting 3K on Padres ML and 2K on +1.5. Two errors costed the Padres 4 runs.

            Angels and Duke left.

                  I still don't think this parlay will hit. Angels will cost me.

                    What is your bankroll in thegreek? 100k? you're better off investing all that money into something and actually using a good book like 5dimes or matchbook why would you wanna risk a few grand extra in juice a day?

                        I bet your kicking yourself for only putting what you did on this parlay.. as it seems your unit size is probably 1 grand

                          Not right now although I have hit that amount last summer. Right now (with some plays pending) it's about 25,000

                            I'm going huge on the twins tonight and extra big only because I don't see you hitting that parlay.

                              A) TheGreek has taken plenty of money from me the last two years. They are not worried lol
                              B) 3,300 was the most I could wager on this parlay. That was the limit by the book.

                                  I can't believe someone would wire that much money into a shady account, what's keeping them from screwing you?

                                      I never said I wired that amount to them. You asked what's my bankroll. I've never deposited more than 2,000 at the greek at one time.

                                            Oh man, I'm on the Twins as of earlier today, but if this misses I'll still be happy for you hitting this monster. Especially on the first day of MLB. Crazy stuff.

                                                why do you care if I ask what you do for a living? you're more worried about that than letting an offshore book handle 100 grand and wagering insane amounts?

                                                            I really want to see this hit. Even though I'm on Butler +7, I want to see someone cash out 88k. That would be aewsome.

                                                                    Originally posted by TennisBabe

                                                                    I haven't bet a parlay in maybe a year. But a month ago I signed up with a book (rather not say which) that was often behind the line movement on several major sports. So I hit a 6 of 8 system for $6k (risk $600ish), and was a play away from collecting 20k - ended up winning 7 of 8 plays.

                                                                    Next week I lose every parlay - a mix of 2 of 4, 6 of 7, 5 of 8. I just hit 50% of my plays, and we know that's bad for a degenerate who can't stick to straight bets lol.

                                                                    So yesterday I win another system bet, this time 5 of 6 (f u dallas mavericks!), plus 3k, but lose $500 of that hedging my final play.

                                                                    This got me thinking. Would I be better off if every game I ever put in a system/parlay combo bet, would play simultaneously, giving me no chance of hedging it? (let's just pretend that live/inplay betting isn't an option)

                                                                    I know for sure I lost twice hedging my last two parlays. Although I was a happy man I lost them - since I hedge for only 33% of parlay payout, or less - I could hardly remember when I last lost a parlay but won the 'final game saver bet'.

                                                                    So as I considered my history, I decided against any type of hedging in the future. I only bet parlays for amounts that are inconsequential to me (it looks like $3k is just your regular 'one unit' so to speak), and to win amounts that aren't life changing And I never hedge.

                                                                    Yes, I probably didn't bet enough parlays in my lifetime (and haven't lost enough on that final game as you have). But... if one of the afternoon games loses... the parlay is dead... we just move on to looking at the evening card, right? Why should the final game be treated any differently? I'm pretty sure you are now starting to second-guess yourself on the angels game. I know I would have with $88k on the line. But again, that money means a lot less to you than most people who lurk/post here - including myself.

                                                                    Since you exclusively bet at the Greek (their odds aren't exactly competitive), I guess you aren't the type of bettor who looks to push every tiny edge . But hedging is certainly a -EV long-term strategy. So unless you rely on this payout to pay bills, or bet for the rest of the season, whatever... I would root for you to do the right thing.

                                                                    Let it ride.
