    The Lefty Parlay

    It came to me in a vision. A man with one arm - a left arm - said if you want to actually win all 3 parts of your parlay, go with the lefties.

    Seattle - Horacio Ramirez
    Boston - Jon Lester
    Milwaukee - Chris Capuano

    The one armed man wouldn't lie, would he?

    Sorry to say, I hope you lose your parlay.

    I have the Athletics.

    It's quite comical how good I am at getting 2 of 3.

    So do what I do. In addition to betting the 3 pick parlay, bet every possible combination of 2 pick parlay for those 3 teams. For example, with Seattle, Boston, Milwaukee bet:
    3 pick parlay Seattle/Boston/Milwaukee
    2 pick parlay Seattle/Boston
    2 pick parlay Seattle/Milwaukee
    2 pick parlay Boston/Milwaukee
    straight bet Seattle ML
    straight bet Boston ML
    straight bet Milwaukee ML

    Bet x on the 3 pick
    Bet 2x on the 2 pick
    Bet 4x on the straight bet

    Given what happened yesterday you would have:
    3 pick parlay lost
    2 pick parlay w/ Seattle/Boston Won
    2 pick parlay w/ Seattle/Milwaukee Lost
    2 pick parlay w/ Boston/Milwaukee Lost
    straight bet Seattle ML won
    straight bet Boston ML won
    straight bet Milwaukee ML lost

    You would have made a few dollars on the 2 pick parlay and more than a few dollars on the straight bets.
