It depends on the book. Some books are ultra conservative and won't give you ML bet's that are like 14+ points or more but other books will take the action. All books have bet limits and vary from place to place. Yes you can parlay multiple favorites at most books, obviously the payouts will decrease on those parlays...

What do you mean decrease the payout? Would the payout be less then betting each one by itself? Also what would you say is the average limit for a onesided kinda game, straight up some where like Ceasers????????

You can bet favs but depending on the game, the juice could be so high that it might not be worth the bother money wise to bet the line. If you parlay a bunch of huge favs together, yes, you will get better odds but your banking on a lot of favs winning and hoping that amajor underdog does not cause a huge upset.

Betting huge favorites is a good way to lose your bankroll.. I had to learn it the hard way several years ago.. Huge risk for minimal win will bite you if you continue to bet that way..

The juice won't ever be so high that you would be better off betting each huge fav individually right? Also can someone give me an idea about what the limits are on these kind of bets at a big place like Ceasers?
