    if you play something that pays 3:1 then in theory it's three times harder to hit than a 1:1 play so it stands to reason if you hit 1/2 of your 1:1 plays then you're going to hit 1/6 of your 3:1 plays

    tell me how logically thats incorrect

    sure you can find value in some places but when youre talking betpoints, common gueye

    3/1 is not three times as difficult to hit as 1/1. But that's just for starters.

    The longer shot the parlay, the more EV.

    Now you can't expect everyone to do 10/1 every time, but you'd be foolish not to do at least 3/1 each time. I don't go lower than 4/1, really.

    so a game thats +300 isnt 1/3 as likely to hit as +100?

    you got anything to support that?

    not being a dick about it...im genuinely curious

    why wouldnt everyone just blindly play +300 games

    yeah but my point is that you can have an angle on any game....doesnt matter if its free play or not

    free play is just like money imo (or points in this case)

    i really dont get what you guys are saying....to me all youre saying is youre willing to take chances with fp that you woudlnt with cash...doesnt mean they pay better....except the one you just posted

    Dude, this is basic probability.

    A +300 means an implied probability of 25%.

    A +100 means an implied probability of 50%.

    Why wouldn't you just blindly bet +300?

    Because if you bet +300 four times and lose three and win one, you break even.

    If you bet +100 twice and split, you break even.

    That's if you're using real money.

    With freeplays, the math clearly dictates that a 3/1 is vastly preferable to a 1/1.

    There's no opinions here. This is statistics.

    Bet 50 freeplay on four different +300 plays. You hit one. You have $150 cash.

    Bet 50 freeplay on four different +100 plays. You hit two (they're more likely to hit, obviously). You have $100 cash.

    Would you rather have 100 or 150?

    I guess you may as well use your freeplays on -500 MLs if you believe that.

    A freeplay is not just like money.

    I usually just let the FP's build and take one big shot at a game. I think I had my FP balance up to around 500-600 once.

    I once had it over 4k. That was in December I think.

    unless the terms state you must use the FP in a straight bet only

    i would not play a +300 dog by itself

    play +300 with team A -110 and team B -110

    it pays for than 150

    25 on each 2 team parlay

    i myself would actually do it 4 ways in a 3 team parlay that pays a few cents more

    12.5 on each 3 teamer

    Just was pointing out that a +300 is vastly preferable to a +100.

    As for parlays, that's if you're wanting to lock in guaranteed money, but it doesn't necessarily increase the EV.

    At griff's shop, they only allow 2 teamers and the parlay odds are shaved, so I do ML dogs.

    "As for parlays, that's if you're wanting to lock in guaranteed money, but it doesn't necessarily increase the EV. "


    sbr free plays

    i would use a +300 dog with team A -110 and team B -110

    it will pay me more than 150

    why throw away the 15 or so points extra that it pays?

    has nothing to do with locking in money

    the +300 play still has to win.

    same with any book allowing big dogs to bet with FP money

    put another team in the parlay as it will pay more if your big dog hits.
