Age-Old Gambling problem

[ChalkyDog]

The Parlay always has one loser. Not two, not more, just one. Ton of winners, and one single fukkin loser. Doesn't matter if it is a 3 teamer, or a 10 teamer. There is always that one.

There has to be a way to systematically remove that one damn pick. I can't figure it out, and it is pissing me off. One damn leg always loses, never fails.

Anyone figure this one out?

(Stop playing parlays is not an acceptable answer)

Why do so many degenerates fall in love with parlays?

I'll never understand.

[Optional]

Just play more and bigger odds parlays so when you do hit it makes up for all the one offs.

The more you bet, the more you win!

Perception of a big payout for a small risk of course.

If you keep coming up just 1 short maybe the way to go is to Permutate your bets - If you got say a 6 team parlay going then bet 6 X 5 team parlays an all 6 = 7 bets !! in the event of 1 losing you got a 5 teamer hit + If you get lucky an all 6 win you got 7 winning parlays , IMO Parlays are Bookie Benefit bets and deffinitely NOT the way to go if betting serious money , but they do go down a bomb as a fun bet , hope your luck changes bud - Hang in there an GL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes combinations are the answer if you pick a lot of winners

Parlays are for suckers, that's why they exist..
Straight bets long term can net you a profit.

It's already hard enough to determine the outcome of one game, why do you make it harder for yourself and group those plays together ?? You know why, cuz you are greedy.

That 3 team parlay you lost by 1 play (for -1 unit) could of been a 2-1 day if played straight (for a +0.8 units net).
Your 2 team parlay you lost by 1 play (for -1 unit) could of been a 1-1 day if played straight (for -0.1 units).

Stop gambling and learn how to manage risk.
I know you don't want to hear that BS from me, but you need to wake up.

It's not just one loser some time it can get worse.

You bet like 6 even money bets in a parlay with one -1000 type bet and the one loser is the -1000. Happened to me once a 10 teamed... Colts -1000 lost to da bears many many years ago REALLy???

I fukk around with parlays for fun, I am a money management freak, 1 unit almost damn near every time, maybe more (rarely) on a strong lean.

Parlays are usually no more than 1/5th unit bet, and just do it based on the potential of hitting it big, and most the time I always single bet alongside.

I just hate dominating 5 out of 6 legs, and losing on some dumbshit play.

Open parlays have been a nice answer for me, because it allows me to hedge once I get deep, and I am able to start playing big favorites to simply cash out.

Parlays are for fun, thus the reason I didn't want the "stop playing parlays."

Round Robins... I used to do those, I forgot why I stopped, maybe because I only liked doing 3 teamers with those. But I might look at getting back in them.

Earlier this year, I lose a -1300ish bet on Atlanta Hawks at home vs. the Nets, and that little fukker Deron Williams decides he wants to win a game. Think that might have been my first go at an open parlay, and I didn't hedge with the nets, and of course it was I think the last leg of a 10 teamer, or 2nd to last of a 10 teamer...

I hate Deron Williams.

[RunningMan7]

in the NFL , I have done pretty good with teasers, especially the 10 point ones. Parlays, not really.

[Vinnie Paz]

Dont some books offer some kind of money back or decreased payout if youre off by a leg? Or 2 if its a bigger parlay?

sums it all up right there

[convick]

i seem to remember more parlays where i lost the first leg (and then 2-3 other legs anyways) than parlays lost in the last game.

[byronbb]

The only time I think of parlays is when all my single plays go 0-6 and I realized I could have faded myself for a big score.

[Balco10]

Parlays are like playing roulette. Stick to straight plays.

[GunShard]

2 team parlays only, never add any more.

[nikossf]

Progressive parlays?? Idk. lower odds but at least you can still lose 1 or 2..
These happens to me daily though..
Always play a couple nice straight bets, then go back and parlay each accordingly. The parlays always seem to hit 5 out of 6.. Or 6/7... 7/8.. etc... Just kills me when its the late game im stressing for these...

[Lookingtostart]

If you like parlays that much, what about correlated parlays, quarter-relay parlays, correlated quarter-relay parlays...

If I were you, I'd look at why straight betting on dogs is a better idea.

[neverstoppers23]

i usually do a two team parlay, sometimes i do a two team parlay and add in a huge square ml.
but betting mlb totals, the last 3 weeks has me on the biggest ride of the year. turned 40 dollars into 1050 thus far. pwning the mlb.
