    Is this +EV "sucker bet" a Must Play?
    Book has a "special" three-team ml parlay every week on the NFL, usually public/popular teams all rolled in for 1pm/4pm/8pm games. Of course if you just rolled over the games yourself you would usually get a higher payout anyway. lol Anyway...

    They have Patriots/Packers/Eagles ml parlay = +300,

    Taking the best lines available at pinnacle only gives you around +260, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    Would you play this?

    Yes, -185/-327/-126 works out to +261. But the Eagles will lose.

      Yeah if they want to give away ev like that - i'm going to accept. They aren't smarter than the market as a whole. This is from someone who backs a lot of underdogs.

        If you were able to roll the profits, you could make almost 40% more than the +300 parlay. But since the games often overlap, this may be a decent look.

          I actually like the Eagles if they stay favorites but you could always hedge the late game.

            OK, I played it, at least I'll Mush the Patriots or Packers. That's a given.

              Explain. How would you make more than +300 if you "rolled the profits" what does that mean. Wouldnt that just get the exact same odds as a parlay which LT noted would pay +261?

                    They will be the least of my worries, maybe Eagles.

                      If you can beat the true odds play it, simple as that.

                          Don't like that at all.

                          If NE ML goes up later tomorrow, I might add a little more to this parlay.

                                Pinnacle right now = -205, -345, -135 = +234


                                The +300 bet is at William Hill for the lucky ones.

                                        I like the Eagles but greed kills.

                                            ill hedge, cant trust Vick and the Eagles. Would hate to lose a parlay in this manner.

                                                            Not sure if that is "domination".
