    Here's what the parlay is supposed to figure: [from a good source] $40 X 4-Team'er=[484] 09/14/2012 10:43 PM

    PARLAY (4 TEAMS)
    [2105] TOTAL o30½-110 [LOSE]
    (2H WASHINGTON STATE vrs 2H UNLV)
    [2106] 2H UNLV +3½-125
    [129] TOTAL o55-105
    (CALIFORNIA vrs OHIO STATE)
    [137] TOTAL o56-105
    (NORTH CAROLINA vrs LOUISVILLE)

    The Books calculation: $40.00=[390.45] -40.00 LOSE

    Anyone have an opinion on this controversy?
    Try your math and see what you find?
    I will contact the Book tomorrow and see their explanation. I will not release their name unless I could prove a conspiracy. That will be near an impossibility, though.

      I'm too lazy to do it myself, so I used another reliable computer source. I think that figure is correct...484.

          Thanks. I see now they claim to pay 11/1, so that's 440 or 480?
          If something looks to good to be true...watch out for the catch. Probably do totals at 1.20?
          I'll find out today.

          The bad thing, I lost the parlay, but if I ever hit another in this century, I want the full amount deserved.

            A few weeks ago the book at where I play suddenly changed the odds on parlays...even if you take 5 dogs (5 is the max they allow) it pays 1450 on a $50 bet. No explanation whatsoever for why they did that...I guess they don't want to pay out more which is fine for me cause now I've stopped betting parlays which saves me a lot of money!

              This Book has their parlay payoffs all messed up. Well, that's what the evidence shows, so far?
              A 4 team 40 parlay at -120 X 4 still comes up a 412 hit, and they showed only a 390 hit?

              Tonight, I will have the answer.
