    If each bet is a 50/50 bet you'd win .5^6 = 1.56% of the time, which is quite a bit less than 1/28th.

    As Durito pointed out, you'd win one out every 64 on average. And what does a 6-teamer pay (far below the 63-1 odds you need to break even--I'm sure)?

    The clear solution is to bet 10 team parlays instead.

    None, but par 5's maybe, manage to hit 2 of those in one month, but countless of 1 misses.

    Straight bets at low juice (MB) are so much better.
