    Correlated Soccer Parlays??

    One of my sites allows me to parlay totals with 3-way moneylines. I've been trying to calculate if (and how big it is if so) my edge is just parlaying u2.5 w/ the draw. Are there ever times I should NOT bet this?

    Also, what about o2 parlayed with the favorite?

    I've been using exact score prices from 5Dimes to try to figure out if I have an edge, but wasn't sure if I was coming up with the right answers.

    I don't know of a circumstance where "Draw to under 2 1/2" isn't a money maker.

    Obviously it depends on the odds the book provides.
    Shity odds won't give any advantage even when parlaying favorite and Over 0.5 goals, which is usually still lower of selling odds for the favorite alone on an exchange.

    I can't parlay team totals or spreads, only the 3-way moneylines and game totals.

    I was refering to game totals. Noone can win without Over 0.5.

    Ah, I don't have over .5 offered. The line is usually 2 or 2.5 (although occasionally some games are 3+)

    There is a lot of value if your book allows you to parlay the draw to the under, or of course a team to win and go over in soccer. That being said if your book knows what they are doing, they can also reduce that exposure while still allowing the option to their clientele all while generating more handle and betting options.

    Yes some books will offer these bets with an edge, because they know most clients will over bet their edge and bust anyway.
