Parlays and Teasers are for two types of people. Those who just want to waste a few bucks and have some fun, and those who are actually uneducated enough to depend on them to make money. The vast majority of players in here fall into one of two catagories. Those who wager rather small amounts (under $100.00/game) and those who do not wager at all (which probably covers 50% of the posters in here). There are a few posters who wager rather large amounts of money, but they are few and far between. Ask them if they ever lay big money on a parlay, teaser, or prop play. As far as books getting "killed by player props", I suggest that you go to Vegas and see if that is true, because it is not. Now you may think so, and you may think that this is the reason why Mickey Mouse Offshore books that most of you use are afraid of sharps, but the fact is that these books simply cannot afford to take a big hit, so they drop the limits on all wagers. Frogsrangers has it right. Tony, let's see your posted plays for this season, and make sure to include the shop that you are playing at, so we can verify that your line is accurate.
