After reading the thread bout dude who won quarter million on an open parlay with 5 dimes I decided to put my next deposit in with them. Now I am totally hooked. They are so much fun. U can make small plays for like $10 or $20 and throw in a couple -110 games with a couple moneylines then make it like 6 - 10 teams and if u hit u have good action on the remaining games. U can try to hit big putting a -110 game in here and there or put big moneyljne favorite if u just need a winner bad. If u lose right away, no big deal u still only lost $10-$20. I even have a couple big 15 team +12fb +9 bb $30 to win $390. I choose a few here and there. Always have some action and if it does end up losing its only $30. I usually was betting between $50-$200 per play before. With this I always have action and chances for big plays. The way they have their lines set up are perfect for these because u basically can take a team with whatever pointspread u want just higher/lower juice. I was using betislands before and loved them but 5dimes just offers so much more and many more lines. I'm hooked. So far I'm only up about $200 from my $100 deposit that I wanted to experiment with but its fun.

just dont forget its still a parlay and sometimes things go wrong
warriors +14 -650 last night would have been a painful addition.. they lead at the half but lost by around 20.Comment -
I had clippers moneyline in a bunch. Right of course things can go wrong but if they do your original bet isn't real high.Comment -
I like action so this is away to have a bunch of action with not a high risk amount but still a decent payout. I can have an open parlay open for a week and just add games whenever. I have been having a few open at once so I can have different type of risk/reward deals going on. I'm sure some people wouldn't like these but if you're an action junkie like myself, check them out.Comment -
What other books besides 5dimes allow these parlays?Comment -
That's why I don't think you can find a better out for U.S. players than 5 Dimes. The early lines, open parlays, point buying opportunities, teaser options, $1 minimums, etc. And they pay.Comment -
What other books? Don't all books have parlays! Every book i've played at has them!Comment -
I am also addicted to those parlays and giant teases! Like you said that's the best way to play them. Start out with a couple point spread lines. Then start adding buying points and MLs. I had like 12 open parlays going! I hit one 25er with only $3 on it for like 150. They are so addicting! My usual plays are 50-200 a game. So I only play those for $2-5 for fun. It's like a slot machine but a lot more fun!Comment -
Rebatewager has open parlays online
I think some of the others you have to call them inComment -
Looks like 5dimes has won with the continuous threads about Open Parlays. Congrats marketing team, give yourself a big pat on the back.Comment -
Free promo or not it really is cool and should be offered more places...
I know Heritage also offers open parlays but you have 7 days to fill all the spots...5Dimes has no limit on when they are closed which allows someone who is patient more opportunities to find valueComment -
they can be VERY valuable to players who are patient and know how to play them right, which is why 99% of shops dont offer them
Open parlays are great to have as an optionComment -
Can u guys explain to me how the whole open parlays work??? I see them all the time but never took time to learn what it is and how it works. Maybe it can work in my gameplan i don't know but i was thinking of starting a thread asking this question, pretty cool u guys started this thread about it. It would be for like 2-3 team parlays.Comment -
u just go to parlays as usually would...bet just lets say 1 game...when u hit continue to make the wager amount, u will see a pull-down menu for "Open spots", u then choose 1-24 more "OPEN" wagers....u can use ANY parlayable option to fill in these other open plays...ML, lines, sides, props, anything...and the payout is updated on every play that u add...the big thing is there is NO TIMETABLE to have to place these games, so weather its a 2 teamer or 25 teamer u can have them open for weeks, months, whatever....so u just wait til u see a game u want to add and then go add it
i LOVE these....and i usually just have them like u were wanting to do, the 2-5 teaMERS AT A TIME...i use them alot for props too and they have been VERY prophitable for me
also very cheap with big rewards if u want the larger ones
when i get to last game or 2 on the 5 and up teamers i usually just wager larger MLs and make sure i close them out as a winner depending on what the payout would beComment -
For you guys that don't know about open parlays u can check this out.Comment -
Someone mentioned on one of the thread that Heritage did it. I have an account there but don't see anything. Must you do it by phone?Comment -
Heritage is phone only yes. Other books have open parlays but I THINK 5 Dimes is the only one that allows 25 teams.Comment -
They are great for people like us EZ
we just need to exercise patienceComment -
just do running bets.....Comment -
Sorry, but I must be missing something with this concept?
Why do you need a bookie offering them when I can bet my first play today, play up the collect on tomorrow's play etc etc etc?
What's the difference?Comment -
I don't get the advantage of this either.Comment -
if ur doing running bets why not get paid alot more to parlay them and be risking alot less?
doesnt make sense
they arent for everybody, but they are a great advantage for me personally, and very propfitatable as well
especially since u have no timetable to close them out, which i usually use for parlaying props from game to game for a few weeks...been a huge prophitComment -
I bet Tony has a lot of love for you all too

There are three main reasons I enjoy playing these types of wagers.
1. If two or more games are played during the same time then it isn't possible to bet on one then place the original bet plus winnings on the second one.
2.I like to have a bunch of action going on any given night. With these I can have a $10 bet and have 5 or 6 games or whatever and not be risking very much money as appose to betting 1 or 2 games for $50 or $100.
3.Probably most importantly is now if I did do the bet on the first single game take the winnings and put it on the next and so on and so on till game 25, I know myself and there is no way I am going to be putting say $1200 on a game that is game 22 in my 25 game parlay. I don't have the discipline to actually do this. These open parlays force me to keep it going.
Now I know I am losing a lot of value in doing these instead of betting it using my reduced lines but to me it is worth it and I enjoy them. I am not a BIG bettor as I only deposit like $200 each time I deposit so this is very recreational for me.Comment -
I don't see it that way at all.
I can start my own parlay with say $10 and keep reinvesting the collects. The initial investment (risk) remains $10 .. precisely the same as with a parlay with a bookie. The only difference is that I can stop whenever I want. The big advantage is that I can place each bet where I can find the best odds rather than being committed to playing them all with the one bookie.
With these 'open parlays' do you have to declare up front how many plays you are going to try for?Comment -
If you have simultaneous games there's nothing to stop you putting an ordinary parlay on those games and then if successful just reinvesting the proceeds on your next play.
Why would it not pay as much?
Do you get any greater odds in placing a parlay with most books?
I think at Pinnacle you actually get dealt shorter odds?
If I can place each bet at the book offering the best odds the end result would surely be greater than playing them all at the same book?Comment
