yep
Straight up winners are much much much easier to predict than spreads (obviously). I think a lot of people are turned off from ML parlays because there is often a lot of juice on them, but you gotta look at value instead of just the potential payout. To me, ML parlays often have more value than any other line on the board
take a look, for example, at Miami/Oklahoma City tonight. An ML parlay there gives you -220
odds. Seems like a lot of juice right??, The favorites are 8-0 combined at home this year vs the underdog. The chance of either team losing is VERY VERY small and -220 odds are a steal
it's all about picking your spots and avoiding games that seem somewhat questionable (for example, I'm not playing San Antonio because there is a chance they may lose after losing game 1). Overall though, ML parlays are one of my favorite instruments in sports gambling
