Ive been betting mostly NBA playoffs with limited success. I am even after 3 weeks.
Ivve put some thought into this tonight and decided to try to put my finance degree from TCU to good use.
I wanted to know if my rational is "rational." I don't had wall the lingo down yet, so forgive me.
Hypothetical Scenario
Bet total $100
Parlay Minnesota -1.5 -150
and
san fran -1.5 +160
to win 333
Then
Take the other side of the bet (Not parlayed) with $50 each team to win $26 and $65 for a total of $91 total winnings.
you only have 4 outcomes.
1. You hit the Parlay and win a total of $233
2 both parlay teams lose and lose a total of $9
3. Either of the parlay teams lose and you're only losses are $35 or $74.
Again… This strategy is for limiting losses. and I would have to use to online sports books.
Thoughts???
