    Betting strategy- only way is makin straight plays!
    The odds of winning really diminish makin bets where you need multiple results to happen! Really tired of losin parlays by 1 game.. must have happened 20 times in last 2 months... SICKENING

      Parlays and Teasers are for suckers. That's what they say anyway.

      I play them all the time.

      But yes, straight is the only way to go about "serious" gambling, IMO. But, even then it needs to be rather large spot plays. The more you bet, the less perceived edge you have.

      Outside of Nascar, betting is a grind. Since most people hate the grind of straight wagers, they end up going for the big dollars and roll with parlays hoping to hit.

          Won big my first week ever wagering hitting 3-5 team NBA parlays. I never seemed to cash out back then. Haven't bet more than a handful of 2 team ML parlays over the past year....and it sure seems easier to pay the bills these days.

                        That's how I do it, .1 unit on each RR of my picks, 1 unit straight up
                        Going 6-2 7-1 is sweet, 8-0 and I'm stoked, 4-4 or worse and we just added a little vig.

                            most teasers that hit will hit the parlay without the extra points, problem is most guys cant hit either...
