    Does this $5 Caesar's Palace in Vegas ticket qualify as being a correlated parlay?
    Sorry for the quality of the betting ticket,it faded a bit in a year.It looked like a bad bet I would not have made today at all.Wow,high overs last year with poor odds.I think it was a slow day for the NHL where there weren't too many games to pick from.It's fun hitting places like Caesar's making your way up and down the strip mooching comped beers at the slot bars.Jeeeeesis,Heinies a year ago were something like $6 or $7 bucks there.The town was loaded with 20 something just out of college kids playing bigshot where they were paying full price for drinks like suckers.Somebody has to pay for the auditorium that built for Celine Dion.hehe!Hell,I can make a $5 bet in every casino sportsbook and get double my money back on free drinks.

    OK,on to my real point.I usually play NHL moneyline favorites covering -1.5 and going with the overs.A $5 ticket will usually pay $140-$175 for a 4 team parlay.On this ticket I played the moneyline dogs and the overs.

    As bad as this bet is and being that it's out of my realm to not play moneyline favorites at -1.5 at home and taking the overs,it still proves that some sportsbooks will take these bets and some won't defining them as being correlated parlays.I'm surprised that Caesar's took the bet.Should I be or shouldn't I be surprised that this isn't considered a correlated parlay bet?


    PS,just looked at it once it's posted and it's jibberish compared to what it looks like on my desk top.

    You can save to your desktop and enlarge or else I can do it over giving it more resolution

    The only team that you can semi depend on covering with my favorite style of 4 team parlay this year is the Red Wings.Man,I'm going to play 4 team NBA moneyline dogs with the overs where it's at least fun because it has the suspense of winning during the game.Please baseball,hurry back!

    ML dog and over is fine anywhere, similar to MLB.

    The -1.5 to over is much harder to bet.

    Some correlation, IMO. I feel the dog winning is more likely with an over in NHL.

      Nice level.

        Each of those intra-game 2-team parlays has negative expectation. They're even worse matched in a 4-teamer.

          ?

          Betting the NHL -1.5 to over blindly won't win ( under new rules).

          Not sure what you mean,Ricky ?

          If I like a big hockey dog, I often bet some straight, and some parlayed with over.
