    Are they scared? Can't say I hit 13 team parlays on consistent basis but at least let me have the hope of it.

    No buying points for parlays either.


    Great book overall obviously but why limit these options?

    Risk management.

    No one likes reading a daily profit report, and seeing that a $100 wager beat them out of a mil on a big parlay. Smaller parlays are much easier to stomach.

    Defending against pros.. they don't want that kind of exposure if their lines might be off (or the market manipulated). Just another defense.

      They can have a cap on the max payout. That may mean, say, a 10-team $25 instead of a 8-team $100 bet for the same payout.

        They have a cap on the payout, I think its $250k.

        8 seems so small, at least make it 10. idk

        Don't majority of books have bigger parlays.

          Very little probability someone hits an 8 team parlay in the first place.
