    Are IF BETS ever worth it?
    My friend plays these and i never really looked into it .. I just do straight plays 99% of the time and was wondering if these bets r worth trying .. Also is doing a round robin parlay better than doing a regular parlay?

    If your bankroll is the size of Mayans penis then IF bets are a good way of not getting buried

      If Bets are a good way to minimize risk but increase profit. Tough part is deciding which order to place the wagers. Sucks when you have the winner second in line.

        I tried those for a period of time but always kept going back to straight bets. Feel like they are like teasers in a way...not worth it

          thanks man .. was just curious if they were worth it at all .. so pretty much u pick 2 games and if the first one loses than the second one never even mattered even if it wins .. thats gay

            It's the best way to meet a bonus rollover requirement at every book I've ever used except betonline. They only count the first leg of an if bet. Crooks.

                    Also rolling if bets come in handy if ur bankroll is low or tied up. E.g., u have a chunk of bankroll tied up on an early nfl game and want to pound an afternoon game but it wont go final until after the later game is off the board. U can bet it with the pending funds of the early game.

                        $100 reverse would lose $120 if u split (assuming plays are -110 each)

                        Hit both, win 400

                        Lose both, lose 220

                        All above based on $100 wager @ -110 odds

                          so if you hit both u double ur money .. but if u lose both its just like losing 2 separate straight plays .. this seems like a better way to bet on games no?
