Very solid parlay hits. When I see hit's like this I gotta remember to play those multi team parlays myself.. I got lazy this year and haven't tried big parlays for 5, 10 or 15 bucks.. I think I'll bet parlays now on 5 or 6 of my best plays on each card... It's a small price to pay for a potential and realistic big hit..

Thanks for the parlay reminder and enjoy the winnings bud!!

I use to play full card parlays for $5 with every UFC event but I didn't hit one for all of last year so I quit.. I came close on a few cards though but no cigar.... I figure those $5 full card parlays are like a lotto tickets anyways but with better odds so why not?

Oh man Jibbs, trust I'm right there with you, I mean realistically, parlays, I love em', they're great for goin' cheap budget on a fight, but we all know straight betting on the dog, or payin' the juice, fight by fight, is the real and safer way to make that dough. That said I still believe parlays should always go into the mix, but yea playin' full parlays for a card, even cheap ones so many times ends in agony, can't tell ya' how many events it happens, but it's easy to bust on em'.

I think it kinda has alot to do with how one structures a full card of parlays, certain things seem to help secure wins, at least as far as I have found out, mainly by trial and error....alot of error...but with error comes some good lessons for winnin' which I do more often nowadays than when I first started.

I like to structure now from headliner, and then go down. Truthfully if you make enough parlays this doesn't matter, but for reasons of organization, I find this method much easier. Goin' fightpass up to the headliner, nothin' sucks worse than having 1 of 4 or 3 fights from fightpass, knockout 40-60% or more of your other parlays sucks, sucks bad. Statistically I don't think it changes if you parlay properly, but trying to remember who to cover goin' from the bottom fight to the top is a pain in the ass. lots o' room for error.

Bottleneck fights, as I call em' pretty much necessary, but they can be so painful. Could be one, could be 3-4, but again seems like goin' from bottom fight to headliner, you seem to hit more bottleneck fights that have to go your way or they massively kill your parlays. I find I usually have 1-2 bottlenecks every 4 or 5 fights goin' headliner down to fightpass. For this card in particular my bottlenecks were Burgos and Usman for most parlays, and Cavillo and Jury in the last 6 fights. I used to have bottleneck fights that were mainly props which can really screw stuff up, I try to keep these money line bets now, usually 3-4 of em, augmented with 2-3 props. Try and avoid the bottlenecks if you can, or better yet don't let em' exceed more than 2-3 a bet, that's what kills most parlays, the more you get per bet, the easier it is to kill that parlay, so limit the number allowed in a bet fo' sure. Seems like common sense but it's so easy not to regulate these suckers, next thing you know bam, 80% of yer sh!t gets blown up.

Whiteboard. Get a good size whiteboard, write down them props for the fighters and the odds, that you think are realistic. Then when that's done, go through it again, and start crossin' out some of them, less likely to happen. After about the third, or forth time of goin' over the board crossing some out each time, they should be pretty solid. There should always be a prop to eliminate, for the first 4 or 5 times of goin' over the whiteboard, always. If you ain't crossin' at least one or two out, that's wrong. Every prop you leave in could be a win, could be, but it's definitely gonna be a cost. Then after you get your props, limit em'. I used to have super prop heavy parlays, and I still do sometimes, some for lotto purposes, but 3-4 money line legs, pop on 2-3 props. Truthfully they should always be more money line legs than prop legs.

Lastly, track that sh!t, not the record of success, but track what the heck yer parlayin'. It's so damn easy to accidentally bet a parlay twice, or not bet one that you should have. Hell plan em' before you bet, usually every fight I got a bunch of paper diagrams with parlays mapped out, it's tedious, and kills the writin' hand, but it can help avoid accidental bets.


Personally straight betting each fight, to me seems to yield profit on a more regular basis, but if you wanna win the dough with this, the bankroll definitely has to be higher. For cards your unsure about, or just playing with a smaller bankroll I still luv ma' parlays. Gambling is about money, and fun. Gotta pick which matters more to ya'.
