    I need expert advice regarding over playing parlays. I need to shut down and retool

    Figures Marquette would lose. I am ice cold as of late. down 1.5 units over the past week. And I only bet 5-10 bucks per game. The parlays always kill me I must have lost 80 bucks or so on them.
    Has anyone else got caught up in playing parlays? If so how did you over come it?

    Parlays have cleaned me out in the past. Now I bet single games and grind it out over time. Sometimes I will do a 2 teamer, but I lose on those more than I win. GL

    I think that for most people, they get over it in a very simple manner. They just get tired of winning all but one pick and losing money. That did it for me years ago. I still play a parlay or a teaser at times, but it is rare.

    I've had a pretty good track record with parlays...

    My four game parlay came up short today...damn BYU didn't go over in their game...

    1 unit to win 10 units.

    i think maybe for the most part- parlays should be side things...straight bets and two-teamers seem like the way to go for sure- i mean- when i think about how many parlays i miss by just one game, it starts to seem like its my fault instead of just bad luck. maybe if you do a 4 teamer- if possible you can switch around the game in there that you think is most dangerous.

    also if you do it on a day like saturday where there are so many games in so many leagues- i think you have a higher probability to hit.

    Parlays don’t really help they’ll end up beaking your heart.

    If you want to do parlays just do money line parlays. That's what I do. Marquette screwed me as well. Had they won I would have won $140. Instead they lost and I lost some damn money. I did recoup it with a big tennis parlay tho. Do money line parlays. Make a fairly big parlay and bet a small amount. Also, make small parlays that have a damn good chance of winner and bet more on those. It's still gonna be somewhat of a grind.

    Stop doing Parlays they are for losers, sure they are attractive but in reality they aren't you pick 2 games which gives you one in four shot of winning, yet it only pays 2.5, it is impossible to win playing like this. You would have to hit way over 60%.

    Tell yourself that it is hard enough to a single game. I occasionally do parlay for fun, but only 1/5 of a unit.
