    I like to do very small (I'm talking 5 dollars max) parlays around once a week just for giggles, and even then I never put more than 4 teams on a ticket.

    ill usually do a 10dll parlay with 4 teams on 1st half bets on college football on saturdays, if it doesnt hit well no biggie, if it does it will pay around 122, and i usually hit it every 3 weekends or so, so its good value if you do something small like that.

    Parlays may be fun, but they will scorch your roll over time. Even if you hit a big one now and then, you still lose way more than you win. However, if you are up and on a nice streak, nothing wrong with a nice round-robin of winners.

    I hit parlays all the time. I'll just overbet for an additional $10-20 and either parlay the overnight/overseas games, or props/gut plays I like. It's essentially a no risk freeroll and they can be hit routinely if you take them seriously.

    I'll typically win $1-200 from $10 parlays, but I have hit $2500 before. Never hurt my bankroll, but it's certainly helped.

    I play 2 team parlays sometimes and have hit a few times, last night i took miami/bullsover and risked 50$ for 135$ anything above two plays really scorches your roll so straight bets are the sharpest plays just find the lock
