If win vs parlay

[dante1]

Would somebody please explain to an old brain that
doesn't work very well any longer what is the huge
difference between an if win and a parlay.

[pokernut9999]

If win or if win reverse ?

[dante1]

If win.

[pokernut9999]

Means if you lay 110 to win 100 on team A then you have 110 to win a 100 on team B if team A wins . If they lose no action.

Some sites you can do 2 teams others a whole string. All bets are 1 unit bets though.

Pokernutt thank you. I was unclear.

What I mean is what is the difference if you lay 110 on a parlay, or lay 110 on an if win and then lay the 210 on your second team if you win. What is the difference in these
two plays?

[pokernut9999]

100 dollar parlay would pay 260 other way 300

You can only place the same amount on an If bet.

Are you sure about that? I didn't know that

[pokernut9999]

That is what I said in 1st post.

Guys, I may be wrong. But, I don't think that is correct.
I believe you can lay 110 on team one and then lay 210 on
team two if team one wins. Returning the exact amount
of a 110 parlay. Am I wrong?

I've made "if" bets at TheGreek that were for different unit amounts - no problem.

[pokernut9999]

I have seen 3 different ways books do it.

Bodog is 2 teams only same bet both ways.

another book you could do like 7 or 10 teams in a row at same bet.

Now that I think about it I believe one other site allowed that.


Like I said I seen it at 3 different books, all have different rules.

Yes, I think you can do it. My original question was forumlated because I am confused why some people piss and moan when their book won't let them play a same team parlay. What is the difference if they just play an if bet instead? Now, I must be missing something because it can't be that easy. What am I missing?

[pokernut9999]

what do you mean now by same team parlay?

[pokernut9999]

most books have same rule on parlays as if bets.

[dante1]

most books have same rule on parlays as if bets.

Don't people complain that they can't play an o/u with the side in the same parlay?

[pokernut9999]

Thats on 1st half or 2nd half bets or in baseball 5 inning lines

[dante1]

That is the part that I didn't know. Okay, if
that is the whole story then I now understand.
Thanks

LOL ok have a nice night.

Yes, I was mistaken. I thought they meant they couldn't
do a full game same team parlay with side and total. That
I couldn't understand. I never played at a book that didn't allow that. That was the confusion.
