    parlay question

    I'm new to this site and sports betting in general. I use a website to keep up with my bets with book. My question is if I make a 4 or 5 team parlay bet and win all bets except one push what is the outcome of the bet? The site I am using is not giving me credit for this and some people are telling me it should. Thank you in advance.

    The push just reduces the parlay as if that game was not ever part of it. So if you have a 5-game parlay, with 4 wins and 1 push, it should pay out what a 4-game parlay would pay out. This is under normal circumstances. Check your site's policy for whether pushes reduce, or whether they count as a loss. If they are counting pushes as a loss without giving you increased odds on the parlay, you are getting fukked.

    Good hit but parlays or a losing proposition

    Parlays are very good if you're in deep debt, trying to get even or paying off the loan sharks

    Thank you for the quick responses. It has happened twice in the past few days, one 5 team and one 4 team parlay. My bookie gave me credit on the first one but it happened again last night. He acted like the website had a glitch but i'm starting to think otherwise.

    Don't if you're a teaser player but make sure he is not grading ties as losses on teasers also.

    Bubba you will go broke over time betting big parlays. WEhy don't you rate your two top plays of the day bet those straight then bet a 2 teamer with them for like 20% of whatever your stake was on the straights. For example two best bets of the day bet to win 100.00 on each then risk 20.00 on a two teamer with those both. There will be many days you go 2-0 and make 250.00. That is a nice day.

    Thank you for the advice. I mainly put small wagers on the parlays and teasers, I just like the action and can make for some exciting late games. I do generally make my larger wagers on straight bets.
