    Quit playing large parlays. Large parlays are for suckers. You stick to 2-3 team/selection parlays and you'll do better. Those 8-10 teamers draw you in with the payouts or the "Easy" picks of big moneyline favorites ... but they are so hard to hit.

    You think most people make their money off those dream parlays? No, not in the long run.

    Come on canuck, you're just young. All the older folks know that there is absolutely no way to win betting straight up. The only way to be up money is to hit at least (4) 8 teamers per week.

    I played parlays for the first year I gambled. Hit a few early and thought this was the way to go.

    Looking back, for every parlay you hit, you give it all back and then some on the ones you miss. You always say, "I was one game short" -- whether it's a 2-teamer or a 10-teamer. It's the nature of the parlay -- one big cocktease. Just stop doing it and watch your bankroll grow.

    Listen these parlays are most ly big ML's run lunes of +2.5 buying hoop games way up. I mean im playing 100 to 200 to win anywhere from 800 to 1500 i hit alot but these one game fukk jobs are killing me. It will take you awhile to hit 1500 playing str8. 85% of plays are clise to sure things. Trust me

    if you think theres no way to win money by picking straight bets, that means you can't pick winners...so...how the hell do you think there's money in trying to get 10 teams all right at once?? Stop the parlays....

    Cut the parlaying out its a losing proposition, I'm guessing you like big favorites since your big number parlays are still paying out low figures, so play them on the RL to get + payouts. After 10 plays of going 6-4 you grind out a small profit, start over and do another 10 plays and so on. By the end of the month you have a nice profit, end of the year even nicer, you are now winning betting straight.

    An 8 team parlay at -300 a game pays out 461 on a 100 bet.


    Not even worth it. And I'm guessing that the Heat +14 game 1 was more around -1000

    Apparently your handicapping skills are on par with your "pegging" skills.

    congrats.

    If you miss an 8 team parlay by only one game, that is not 7 winners and 1 loser.
    that is 1 loser only.

    Gates im not sure what type of player you are, but if you hit 8 games and are waiting on the tigers and they have the bases loaded no outs twice and dont score then get fukked and you would have won 1400 ,if that wouldnt make you sick than your a wv inbreed

    variance is a bitch. Get used to it or go to gamblers anon..nothing else you can do..well in OP case you could make straight wagers that have less variance but with baseball you will go on win and losing streaks just part of the game
