is it even worth adding heavy favorites to parlays in the tourny?

[andyman009]

whats the consensus around here about adding heavy favorites to win into parlays just for the sake of "padding" your payouts? for sh1t's and giggles i made a parlay with 5dimes of HEAVY favorites to win in the opening round and a TEN team ML parlay pays abut 48% of your bet....and these are ten teams we're talking about...if you add wisconsin and uconn to that list, it barely pays 1:1

question is, is it worth doing?

I think if you're entirely confident that none of them are going to struggle ... why not make an extra $50 if you want to. Personally, I would probably toss in a couple of the point spreads on the highest ML teams to bring the payout up. Say Tennessee -20 and Memphis -24.5 instead of the MLs. Those are the two I am most confident that they complete out-match their opponents.

i wouldnt have the balls to lay that many points in the tourny...if anything i would buy some points to make it down to 10 points

like always. it depends on "which" heavy favorite.

Even though I happen to agree that all 10 teams will win, I still would not parlay this many teams for such a small payout. The risk is just not worth the reward when one team blowing up kills the whole bet, and that has been known to happen when least expected during March Madness.

What about a round robin? With that many ML plays?

sure its worth it if you win
