2 team parlays are useful with mlb to negate juice. I’m not talking about those crazy ass -250/300/400 lines, no reason to even bother w those!!! I’m talking more along the lines of the -150/-180ish range. Can often find favs in that area that have nice edge, just don’t go forcing them, sometimes i leave them open and just take 1 game on a given day then wait for another good one to pop up to close it out.
“Sucker bets” or not I’m a big fan of round robins with anywhere from 4 to 7 teams in groups of 2s mostly (sometimes 3s). Have some big swings at times but long as we talking small favs or dogs if you hit 2 of 4 games in a 4 team RR in groups of 2s the damage is minimal, hit 3 of the four and you cashing 3 of the 6 parlays which good profit, hit them all and cha-Ching!

Use them to get more money down if you hit the limit.
Not -EV if you have an edge against the odds on each leg, as those edges get multiplied.

They a must for free plays imo. Whether just letting them ride or spacing the games in different time slots and hedging. Gotta turn that FP money into cash!!

2 team parlays are fine, paying about $260 for every $100
3 team parlays at 6-1 are good too
But once you get to a 4 teamer it gives the book a much higher advantage by paying only 10-1 on a 4 teamer
to bring down that book advantage, books like Bookmaker & 5Dimes pay higher odds at slightly above 12-1

Tennis yes, have won so many 25 team parlays in the sport should be illegal. But I bet just heavy favs after research to get little extra payoff vs the ml

I believe so.
Wouldn't open parlays come into play?
Never done the math but don't dominant pitchers, tennis players, quarterbacks, etc. get upset more often than dominant fighters,?

i don't know if I would use it in boxing. I could see myself having a 5-6 team parlay and the back end is some juicy favorite
and then some crooked judge screws me. lol
MMA would be better
