No more Soccer Parlays in SBR Book?

**vitalyo** · 11-16-10, 12:14 PM

BigDaddy with all do respect trixtrix wasn't the only one who took advantage of SBR software .
I say there were at least 100 other members.
Taking advantage of the software , bad lines and so on .
This staff is been discussed in "Sportsbooks & The Industry" trend . SBR was smart enough to cut this option off . And i believe they were patience ENOUGH , it's not like they didn't know about this software (soccer parley thing) but NFL/BBL and other american sports would cover the losses . My guess at the end ,way too many people start taking an advantage and that left them with no choice . Believe me trixtrix didn't brought them down .

Why SBR does not offer soccer parlay any more?

I just wonder!We european players prefer soccer than ice hockey or NFL.

They got buried by the soccer sharps.

**chilidog** · 11-20-10, 10:08 AM

Because people were doing correlated parlays on soccer, and since the software's options to not allow correlated parlays currently isn't working for soccer, they had to turn off all soccer parlays until they can get it fixed.

How do you Know that this is the reason?Is it sure?

**chilidog** · 11-20-10, 11:02 AM

Because one of the moderators of SBR posted it earlier this week.

**kostasgr** · 11-20-10, 11:05 AM

Ok then.so they are aware for the problem and i hope they ll fix it.thanks...

SBR sportsbook...

I don't know if it's just me having this issue, I haven't been around for a very while but, is soccer betting restricted to straight wagers only? No more mega soccer parlays for good 'ol Ced?

**Shortstop** · 11-24-10, 07:26 AM

My man, Ced!

I believe that soccer parlays have been eliminated in the SBR Sportsbook.

Apparently, the soccer sharps were hammering them for a good amount of points...

**SBR_John** · 11-24-10, 07:31 AM

I'm going to appeal to the powers to be to bring these back with modest limits.

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 08:18 AM

SBR Book does need more betting options, it is very good now but need way more 1st halves, 2nd halves and online action points.

Bring Back the SBR Soccer Parlays

It's not as much fun betting on the games without the parlays. It's just points that we are winning and losing. The thrill of hitting a 4 or 5 team parlay is great. It does suck when you lose by one game. Overall...the experience is a fun one, especially just knowing that you are only losing points and you get a chance at another parlay the next day.

Can you bring them back?

**latinrus** · 11-24-10, 08:27 AM

still don't understand why soccer parlays are gone!

I haven't been even betting on the games!

**rthoughton** · 11-24-10, 09:57 AM

Gotta bring back the soccer parlay. Gotta. This is ridiculous.

**pavyracer** · 11-24-10, 10:09 AM

The soccer parlays have to come pack. I hope they fixed the problem with the correlated parlays. You have to cater for the European and other posters who only follow soccer and don't follow football or hockey. SBR is a global community and you can't punish some because a jackass decided to make a fortune in points betting correlated parlays.

Thaddeus is taking them at better lines so not bothered anymore ...

**jjgold** · 11-24-10, 01:12 PM

Lets get it back this weekend Johnny

**Chris7mccabe** · 11-24-10, 01:17 PM

Ya I notice that there was no more soccer parlays, I gotta say I certainly was surprised and I hope we can get it back soon tho.

**giorgim** · 11-24-10, 01:34 PM

Maybe someone can receive parlays from us here? )))

**over5.5** · 11-24-10, 01:41 PM

bawls.

**AbleFollow** · 11-24-10, 01:45 PM

Can someone explain what is correlated parlays? I am an european and its just redicilous not to give parlays on such good sport to bookmakers as football(Soccer). (Real fotball not this american game with that ball like &&&&)

Here is an example:

Today:

Barcelona over 2.5 is -150
Barcelona -1.5 is -105

So if you parlay these plays from one game in a parlay it's correlated because the second leg needs at least 2 goals to cash and the first leg is also depended on it. So any 3-0, 3-1 or more win by Barcelona cashes the parlay.

tnx... but someway it looks like american teasers on nba, when you can parlzay Lakers - Minnesota +15,5 and Under 200,5...but I agree in football(soccer) it much more wrong to give an oppotunity to parlay this...

In football (american) the correlated parlays are associated with college football where a -35 fav may have a total of 53. So if a team wins 49-10 both the side bet and total cash in the same parlay.

This is correct. I am booking all non-correlated parlays including soccer at 5dimes' odds, which are considerably better than SBR's lines. See the link in my signature for more info.

i bet he misses being able to place those bets at a point book where the points are given to him

lol

**SBR_John** · 11-24-10, 05:52 PM

The parlays are coming back.

Since we actually do not have a way to prevent correlated parlays we will have to do it manually. And that kind of blows but we will do the best we can until a fix is installed into the software.

If you play a correlated parlay which is where if one leg hits there is a high chance the second leg will hit(see Pavys example), SBR will turn off parlays for that player.

Basically SBR will get a report everyday of guys who played same game sides and totals. If you played a correlated parlay we will turn them off for you. If you don't know what a correlated parlay is and want to be sure you dont lose the ability of betting parlays then do not use a same game total in your parlays and you will never have any problems.

**pavyracer** · 11-24-10, 06:02 PM

Great news John.

Another way of preventing the correlated parlays for soccer is to deactivate the asian handicap lines for parlays. I'm not a software guru but this may be a temporary solution until a permanent fix is found.

Yea? OK, thanks I'll ask Lou to try that angle.

**latinrus** · 11-24-10, 06:10 PM

That's good!

Good SBR users getting what they want!

**SBR_John** · 11-24-10, 06:17 PM

Word on the street is the parlays are back as of now.

**vgvarad** · 11-24-10, 07:09 PM
