    Where can you place a futures bet that a team will win 5 games in a row?

    I'd like to place a bet that the Denver Bronco's will win the next 5 games in a row. Is there a book that will take that bet and how do you do it? I know I could double up each ML bet won but there's got to be a way to parlay the wins for higher odds

    I know the Bronco's schedule is brutal and they will probably be dogs in 4 of the 5...

    Betting ML 5x is a row will pay more than a 5 team parlay.

    100/2000

    Or

    100/91
    191/173
    364/330
    694/631
    1325/1205

    =2530

    Thanks for the reply. It says Open Spots then gives you the option to select the teams???

    So would I select 4 teams including the first selection for 5 games or do I select 5 teams which would include the first selection?


    Okay, I think I figured it out by putting in a bet. 5 teams is actually 6 games.


    1. 9/17/2012 8:25 PM NFL Football 225 Denver Broncos* +145 vs Atlanta Falcons
    2. OPEN
    3. OPEN
    4. OPEN
    5. OPEN
    6. OPEN


    So let's say they win the first 3 games, can I close the remaining spots and cash out or you have to ride with each spot??

    That's assuming the ML would all be the same for each game, which in this case, it will probably be better since Denver will probably be a dog in the majority of these games.

    Thanks

    Mac if you want to do a 5 team parlay you will make 1 pick with 4 open spots.

    To answer your question no you cant close a open parlay, you have to comple it. You can however make picks with very high juice to close it after 3 games if you wish.

    It dosent make a difference what the odds are. A parlay is always -ev vs doing straight wagers.

    No, I meant that if I bet ML 5x like you recommended that it would pay out more if the teams ML payout is bigger. For example, Denver is +145 this week so $100 would pay $145 versus the $91 example you used...

    for instance and i just made up random odds

    The 5 games...+200,-110, +600, +180, +140.....100 would pay 26,841

    100/200
    300/272
    572/3432
    4004/7207
    11211/15695

    lol.

    In a lot of cases you are correct (and I nearly exclusively make straight wagers)... however think about things like parlay cards, that Canadian sports lottery etc...

    A money line parlay pays exactly the same as rolling the bets over all-in, we are not talking about ATS parlays here where the parlay odds are usually worse. I would bet the REDUCED MLs at first, going all-in each time until payout exceeds $500. THEN I would set up open parlay for remainder.
