    the only real good time for parlays is when you playing with the book money

    not a parlay person here, but the wise thing to do with parlays imo, if you got to play them box the damn thing meaning you put the same amount on each team inside the parlay..........

    Agreed. That’s when you fire the shot. Your own bankroll or cash it’s not a great idea. I fired one today and lost but still in good shape.

    yes what i see a lot, players when they lose on single bets, they panic and try the parlays to get their bankroll back, this is the very worst time to think about parlays

    I also agree with what you said about betting the plays individually as well. Lots of guys go on tilt and fire off parlays to “get to even”… mostly impossible.

    So it was a teaser and not a parlay. And what kind of a teaser was it for Denver +15?

    You can't turn two -EV bets into +EV with a parlay. Unless you're getting a boost or the lines are both off, don't bother.

    What I don't understand is why is it that always the last leg of the parlay loses? Has anyone ever lost the first play of a 7 team parlay?

    Lost a parlay yesterday with LSU too. Would've hedged live, but didn't take note that my feed was behind. Paused it, and was about 10 minutes behind the action. lol

    Exactly Pavy. LSU yesterday. Probably around half the time, or more, it's the last game. Unbelievable

    I'm thinking maybe have a multi-day parlay. Like 1 game 1 Thursday, 2 games on Friday and 3 games on Saturday. Then you won't lose the last game on Saturday night..lol

    Don't think it would help. Up against some betting maxim that can't be overcome.

    Because you don't remember when you lose the first leg.

    Sports betting 101 it's not usually a good idea to couple multiple teams in a singular bet payout.

    (there are exceptions to that rule)

    I had a 4 piece +767 parlay yesterday with:

    Derrick Henry over 120.5 Rushing yards
    Derrick Henry to score a TD
    Antonio Gibson over 63.5 Rushing yards
    Antonio Gibson to score a TD

    Everything hit except...

    Gibson ended with 63 yards.

    Also had a 3 piece +474 parlay on Kyler Murray:

    Over 272.5 Passing Yards
    Over 34.5 Rushing Yards
    Over 1.5 TDs

    Everything hit except...

    Murray had 268 passing yards.

    The 1st one really sucked because I already knew Henry had the TD and the Yards and Gibson scored earlier in the game.

    Near the end of the game, Gibson had 62 yards and had one carry for 1 yard and then they brought McKinnon in at the end of the game when they were on their final drive.
