    Why will Books not accept this parlay?

    I think it's because they are not using their own individual minds, but allowing a computer to do the lazy and sometimes unfair decisions for them.

    The first huge game of the season, and yet, don't you dare try to parlay this game in a 2-team'er. Duh.
    Oh well, it's early and the computer is hard at work making sure our poor saps/players, do not dare get an edge.

    The Big Game: August 29

    1. Georgia Tech +33 1/2 Total [59]
    2. Clemson-33 1/2

    * So, do I take Clemson & over?
    Clemson & under?
    Georgia Tech & over?
    Georgia Tech & under?

    **The first member to get this 2 team parlay right wins 20 points from Abe.
    **Be the smartest member and get it right on your ONE attempt.

    Be honest with us Abe, is it because it's a correlated parlay?

    Correlated parlays limits are set by each specific book. If you search you can find books the DO ACCEPT these. They are subject to the head lines makers risk tolerance.

    It's because of the large spread in relation to the total Abe.

    Try it with the Florida v Miami Fl game and it will probably be allowed.

    Yes, a wise gambler who knows if this was into football season 1 or 2 two weeks already, this could be a typical Saturday game of the week, and they would gobble up parlays on this game, as usual.

    Maybe a Book believes their members will pick the same [most logical] parlay?
    Clemson & over?
    The Book makes a fortune if that "easy-pick" doesn't hit.

    Correct.
    It also makes a difference when this game is played. Playing on a major schedule day, they may play it safe and not allow a parlay? However, when this game--as I said above--sit's pretty-well alone, and this being a huge game--the first of the season and rated the # 1 team, a lot of Books, maybe all majors, will accept that parlay and not bat an eye.

    Obviously correlated since spread/total ratio is 57%. which is very extreme. I think 40% is even considered correlated.

    This is anything but a huge game...its a 33 point line...this game has 57-13 written all over it.

    And we know whichever Book takes parlays on this game, this opening line will be moving faster than a bullet.
    No bargains on this game unless you bet your house early, on Clemson and over, before the changes?
    Then you probably still will have to do this:

    I disagree. This game has more chances of being unpredictable, because, who really knows the insides and outs of each team before their very first game?
    Yes, this is a major game. The number 1-team's very first game. Being a big favorite will attract lot's of attention, too.
    So all you favorite and over guy's can unload on two straight locks.
    750 on Clemson...better hurry, and 750 on over...better hurry there, too.

    5 things could happen

    1. They do not allow the bet, it is programmed not to allow it

    2. They accept the bet and you lose, lose your money

    3. They accept the bet and you win, they cancel because correlated

    4. The accept the bet and you win, they cancel it during a withdrawal, kick you out of the book, and get your initial deposit back if anything left after they subtract all winning correlated plays

    5. They accept the bet and you win, give you the winnings, and politely ask you not to do that any more



    I think # 5 is a .001% of happening

    Just avoid it

    You don't get banned if you cannot parlay this game. If you can, then what's the fuss?

    But individual "hot-games like this will be parlayed when it's game time. But the line will then be more solidly favoring the Books. At least they will think so, but no guarantee there either.

    There was a game between Ohio st and New Mexico st on Halloween a few years back the spread was 42.5 and total 46.

    I told my friend this is going to be 45-0.

    Exact final. Happens a lot in soccer with 2-0 games. Team is -1.5 with juice total 2.5 under juiced.

    Not gonna be surprised if this is Clemson/under although there is kinda a window here

    Yep, and we know the Books offer little candy. This could very well be the very first sucker bet?
    And whomever initially posted this line--the brain or computer, already has figured-in the bettor's obvious play will be Fav & Over.
    They probably jacked it 1 or 2 possible killer points before even posting this game? And the total, also.
