    Explain more. Is that a stat you read somewhere?

    First off, the parlays of 4+ games are almost always Fools' Gold. Books short the price.

    Used to be that you could find +1300 or even +1350 on 4-teamers. I'd imagine it's closer to +1000 at most books. And players don't care, b/c they want action.

    30% Hold can't be on 2-teamers. Players win at a higher rate than that.

    US books are doing a lot of shitty things. They are dirtier than offshore books in some ways because they give so much money to the government that it’s pretty much free reign for them against the players.

    Odds boost are pretty funny too. They short you a ton only to boost it so you're still short a ton.

    So few bettors know how to figure what they deserve, it's so easy to short them.

    These marketing companies have done this since day one.

    yeah, if I cant play the corresponding total & line with the associated money lines as true parlay I punt. Especially any parlay with player props is just a losing prop!
