Shoebox- With the two parlays, you are still risking $110. If you win one parlay you are winning $198 ($143 + your original $55 wager).

Therefore, you win $198 minus the $55 placed on the losing parlay= $143.

Here is a scenario:

You are going to bet on UNC -3 (-110) @ UConn Risking $110 to win $100.

Why not make two parlays like this?...

UNC -3
Oklahoma -5.5 (vs. Duke)

$55 to win $143

AND

UNC -3
Duke +5.5 (@ Oklahoma)

Risking $55 to win $143

In both bets, you are risking $110 on UNC. With the straight bet, you are going to win $100. With one of the parlays (whichever wins), you are going to win $143.

Am I the only one seeing the value in this???

Probably not the only one unfortunately.

Say you have a $110 balance. You place 110 to win 100 on UNC -3 -110...you win and now have $210 in your account.

Take the same situation with the parlays: 55 to win 143 UNC -3/OU -5.5 and 55 to win 143 on UNC -3/Duke +5.5
UNC covers and so does Duke...UNC -3/Duke +5.5=win. You now have 198 in your account...UNC -3/OU -5.5=loss. 198 (from win)-55(from loss)=143 in account.

So instead of having 210 total you have 143...not a winning situation.

risking 110 to win 100=210 in bank
risking 55 to win 143= 198-losses=143 in bank

your losing money

If you place bets like this your sportsbook will love you.

[outforseason36]

Wow, I never even took into consideration the original $110 that was risked in the straight bet. I feel like an idiot now.

I'm pretty high right now and have had a long day but even after reading into it isn't the answer that the Huskies could win?

[outforseason36]

I will edit the original post. No need to pretend it never happened. Hey, we are all here to help eachother out by beating the books right?!?!

[wild willy]

Your even a bigger idiot for starting the exact same thread some where else after we told you that your a idiot

[outforseason36]

Willy, STFU. I posted each thread withing 2 minutes of eachother to get views and opinions from each board. I dont know why you have so much hatred within yourself that you must bash so many people on the boards. We are all here to one thing, and that is to help each of us build our bankrolls.

[wild willy]

I dont bash people other then that dumb**** tout peach pit. and you should have listened to the first 5 guys that said your were outtolunch36
