Are you serious?

10 in a row starting at $10.00....

How in the world did you end up with 68.72?

FourLengthsClear · 02-13-12, 03:31 PM

At true odds it would pay $6430.82

I think he is more or less talking about going all in with 10 bucks and actually hitting ten consecutive bets. So 10 @110- Win 9 next bet 19 @ 110....ect.ect.

We wish it paid 20k

If all 10 legs of the parlay were +114, then it would pay $20,143.63.

Its the same as a parlay, unless one uses a book with the set ripoff odds, like the 4team 10-1 parlay odds that people used this past NFL season

I still can't believe people still fall for that crap, when all they had to do was pick 3 legs at -110, and then on the 4th leg buy a half a point and get the higher payout.

u sure that's right?

while sitting on the toilet I scribbled down $15 at -110 over 10 in a row.. and I got (approx) 9,642.00.

The figure I gave you is correct (for $10).

playersonly69 · 02-13-12, 09:11 PM

Your main problem here is that you need to start higher than $10. Start at like $40 or $80 and it is MUCH MORE feasible.

It is stupid to start something like this with only $10 when you can easily cut out 2 wins by just starting at $40

10 wins in a row... very hard to do. might be better off going for a open ended parlay

I'm not the biggest math guy but say you instead did a 10 game open parlay wouldn't you still need to win 10 games in a row?

baskets · 02-14-12, 08:11 AM

Yeah, exactly where I'm playing it.

Good Luck

Open-Parlays - Open-parlays are available over the phone and online. In parlays posted over the phone, you may choose to leave one or more selections in your parlay "open". You may call at a later time to fill in the spots on that parlay if it is still pending (no losing selections), or you can go online to fill the open spots yourself, through the website. More than 50% of the parlay must have selections made when creating an open-parlay through the call center.
Open-parlays posted online may have up to 24 open spots. You can fill out the open spots on that parlay later on if it is still pending (no losing selections). Open spots can be filled one by one or all at once, there is no expiration time frame on open parlays as long as there are no losing selections on your bet. Open plays posted online can be filled online ONLY. Management reserves the right to remove open spots from plays and/or to disable the open wagers feature from an account at any time.

At any time?,

The only real positive thing about an open parlay is it circumvents limits in some cases. But that is also a catch-22, if your betting parlays big enough to go over the betting limits of the book youre playing at that is a red flag on a couple levels. But tha is also for parlays in general.

Playing 10 separate games in a row and simply reinvesting all your money back into each subsequent play is the same thing. All that does is disallow you from playing simultaneous games.

But for the most part parlays dotnt pay nearly what they should in the first place, so the price for that 'convenience' is very steep.

For he most part parlays are just dub. If you have short money or want to take a shot with short money just double down after every win. Even with 10 buck and 6 in a row @ -110 youre going to start seeing a decent return. Right around 475 bucks. Play all that@ -110 and youre sitting on about 920. I dont know any books that pay close to 90-1 for a 7 teamer. Not to mention if youre playing those bets individually youre going to get odds better than -110 in probably 80% of them. If you can drop your average to just -108 you'll gain an extra 50 bucks. More thana 5% increase.

I know most degenerates that are looking to hit 10 teamers dont understand most of this but it is something most guys would be smart in trying to learn. There is a reason why parlay cards in Veags are the biggest producer of income for them, and why you have shit books posting in the SBR forum about guys hitting multiple 200K parlays.

baskets · 02-14-12, 09:27 AM

I call it fun. Call it what you like.

Going to do basically best bet or 2 bets a week... and it allows pretty much any game. So if you get a Euro baskets game that is ricidulously easy but with shit limits... it won't matter.

Also, not sure how I'm not getting true odds in this open teamer.... it just continues to churn

baskets · 02-14-12, 07:40 PM

well, if I can hit

1. -300
2. -160
3. -110 .... 6 of these... then it'd be 5k

that sounds really doable

baskets · 02-15-12, 09:57 PM

2. Missouri 2nd Half -4 -110* <small>vs</small> Oklahoma State, 33.00/58.64

ACoochy · 02-15-12, 10:01 PM

Baskets, recently successfully completed a project of this nature next door. Word of advice mate is try to play +EV, especially in 1st 3 plays or so. Makes it so much easier if you make it to the top end of this...GL

spankie · 02-15-12, 10:02 PM

did 12 in a row last week.

sucks cuz you never know when those runs will happen.

baskets · 02-15-12, 10:02 PM

thanks for the advice. however, I'm committed to how I'm playing it

after this hits, I'll need

1. -300
2. -160
3. -110 (5 of these)
