the times that I have made the most money were on parlays...

I hit a 10 teamer once on nba ( some were money lines)

I am not fully convinced that straight betting is always the way to go.

I'd bet straight 80 percent of the time, and parlay 20 percent of the time.. That's my rule... Reason? Parlaying runs a higher risk of loosing than a straight wager. If anything you'd be better to place 100 bucks on 3 teams straight than parlay them for 100 dollars..

If you lay a large amount on a parlay and miss it due to 1 game then you will be regretful.

Horrible advice. Try and find posts by Ganchrow about the subject. In short: yes parlays can be better than playing straight bets.

do not parlay ever
EVER EVER EVER
its hard e nough winning one straight game, much less 3 or 4
why parlay

To those saying never parlay, do you realize in some situations it's the smart play to parlay? Yes it's high risk/high reward, but sometimes with a parlay you can move the odds more in your favor than if you just made straight bets.

Learn about correlated parlays!

Straight Wager all day.... What is worse than hitting 2 out of 3 games in a parlay 3, going 2 for 3 and lose money, you can have that.

I have had success taking multiple 3 and 4 team parlays, risking 50-100 on each. Usually I hit a high enough percentage to come out ahead, and in some cases ahead quite a bit.

If you take 4 or 5 straight bets on mlb every day, you basically gotta hit 3/4 or 4/5 or you are making crap. Unless you're betting a dime a game, and lately I top out at 3 bills max.
