    Talk me out of this parlay
    I don't like betting parlay since they are mostly miss. But, after looking at the lines, I am liking a lot of the games. Trying to put together a nice lines of stuff I like.

    Royals / Yankees over 10 +100
    Rockies / Phillies over 9.5 +105
    Nationals / Brewers over 9.5 -110
    Padres -1.5 +110
    Dodgers -1.5 +140
    Rays -1.5 +105

    Thinking about putting all or some of them together. What do you guys think?

    Eh it may look great, but you will lose. Just save your money and do those all single bets.

      Exactly. Do you think you can get at least 4 of them correct? Bet them all for X units each and you will have a great night. Sure, you won't get 100:1 odds or whatever, but more likely you will have a winning night.

        what dolphan said. if you like so many + lines play them straight, especially because three of them are -1.5 runlines. the likelihood of getting burned on at least one of them is too high.

            Each time you add another leg to a parlay you are giving up more juice to the bookie. The bookies freaking love when players bet uncorrelated parlays (especially with more than two legs)

              Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will just play them individually and just gonna put very small amount on a parlay. Like $10 or so. If it hits, it will be a nice reward. If not I won't lose much.

                To more experienced betters out there, when do you guys usually play parlay?
