    How does one use a losing parlay player to their advantage?

    If you know a person who does nothing but bet 2-team parlays and is a loser, how can you use his losses to benefit yourself?

    Thanks

    durito is 100% right, better to book them than to bet the opposite sides straight because he could still be a 50% bettor long term on a game-by-game basis.

    if the person splits theses parlays it will be a goldmine
    you could do this:


    take his two teams-

    and if-bet them to the opposite teams

    you will have:

    winn 100-if to winn 100= 200

    lose 100 = -110

    net = +90

    Actually, assuming this isn't baseball that ticket shouldn't split >50%; if he can reliably split that much then that would make me very curious. But a loser isn't the same thing as someone who can reliably pick losers. It's easy to lose.

    Could you elaborate with some examples? I'm assuming we're talking about beyond short term losing here.

    It's easy to hit 50% ATS and lose due to the vig. It's not easy to hit 45% ATS.
