    They were the first thing 5Dimes Tony removed from accounts if limiting.

    Must be an edge there based on that.

    Patience and discipline are two of the most important aspects of winning at sports betting.

    Open parlays allow us to be patient and still get plays down.

    But there is another way.

    If limits aren't your issue and you can be disicplined with the goal of your money then you don't need open parlays as long as you aren't making plays that are going off at the same time, or overlapping.

    If you are more selective, and picking one play every so often, then you just bet the first game, and let it ride for each game you bet. Take your winnings and the original bet and put it on the next play.

    This is how parlays work and why nearly all bettors miscalculate the vig on parlays.

    If you are just letting it ride for the next play then you are not committed to a pre selected numbert of plays before you can walk away from the campaign.

    I will do open parlay campaign threads this month, but again, most don't need the open parlay to play the parlay.

    Concurrent games and limits are the only issues with letting it ride on the next play.

    I can't seem to get the open parlay function to work in the SBR Book.

    I would bet more in the book if we had that function.

    I know it doesn't work, yet I still try to make it work whenver I'm in the book. I figure one day I might get it to submit.

    I do but I recently lost two separate 3 open legged and one by 2 points. Was like, “penetrate, I just went 4-2 and have 0-2 to show for it.” So not again until Football season.

    This is another reason to check out BAS. They, like I said before, have better parlay options than probably, all the other larger Books? And less hardened concrete lines as I already said.

    Sounds like many on here are shying away from them? I have yet to see a reason for that.
    Who does have a sound reason to not playing there?

    BAS was a fan favorite until that recent software update.

    That was a clusterfuck and didn't settle well with anyone.
