Correlated parlay question

[turkstock]

First and foremost, what is a correlated parlay and why does it seem players have trouble cashing out after playing them at some books?
thanks

Hi

it is a bet that one bet has a higher than normal percentage of cashing if the other does.

like say the Bulls are down 10 at the half you can parlay -2.5 and over 93 that would be correlated

In the past I've tried to play a ML and a run line in MLB, but it wouldn't allow it. Do some books allow these type of plays or once they find it they cancel it?
thanks

I dont think you'll find any books that would accept a ML/RL parlay because they are so closely correlated with each other.

If you're referring to parlaying the same side, same game, than no book would allow this because if the RL hits, than obviously the ML hit. So they're not going to let you piggyback a ML bet on a RL bet for the same side. But if you bet them as seperate bets, I don't think it would be an issue.

no book would allow ml/rl on the same game because that's more than simply correlated

When people talk about correlated parlays, they're referring to other things, like parlaying -1.5 RL with the over.
