Irritating books ! No parlay on iowa game ,duh !

[ABEHONEST]

No parlay on the Biggest game of the week ?
Where do they get this silly rule ?

No parlay on OHIO STATE and over,no parlay on OHIO STATE and under,no parlay on IOWA and over,no parlay on IOWA and under !
In other words ..."NO PARLAYS !

And the worst book of all on this ridiculous rule is.....5DIMES !

Oh yeah...later ,they might let u play a "whittle perlay" !

[Fishhead]

Ridiculous!!

[3PtShooter]

somebody knows something !!

[DwightShrute]

a lot of books do that if the spread is too much. Same is Basketball.

Been like that for years and years.

Then those turkey's need to LIMIT those early parlays,and then adjust their lines to the heavy play !
I don't care how long the rule has been in effect,it makes BOOKS look "cheap".
Now if little Carmen St. plays Wally Wally St.,then I can see ,no parlays !
Or, if there is serious weather concerns,again,I would understand .

[MonkeyF0cker]

They're called correlated parlays. Welcome to 2005.

Actually, only two of the parlays are correlated. Some books would allow the two that are not.

HUH ?

[LT Profits]

Should have said only two are positively correlated.

Ya, I agree

I bet parlays a lot and hate when I get "invalid combination"

This is what I don't understand, why would a book not let you play a parlay that is uncorrelated(not that I would ever do such a thing, as I don't like throwing money into the wind!). My guess is something with the software they use. You got the answer LT? Just curious.

Perhaps. Some books won't even post totals of correlation.

[smitch124]

Its probably just too much trouble to try to parse out every possible combination so they just kick out the whole game.

[Fishhead]

Any book that is paying only 13-5 on two teamers is losing money not accepting parlays on this game.

[MonkeyF0cker]

More proof that Fishhead is a fukkin moron.

Any book accepting these parlays has already lost their money and most likely won't pay you if you win. Your only chance to get these off is find a local over 70 that doesn't own a computer.

This is horrible. Go with Bet Jamaica or Bet Phoenix with that action.
