EP36's OPEN PARLAY PARLOR

OhMyEli · 01-15-13, 12:43 PM

interesting, I just closed one but I am interested in this as I have in the past tried to open a parlay and get great value out of it (most of the time I get impatient and greedy).

anyway what do you think of qpr today? i closed one with them at +.5 for +115.

i_pick_winners1 · 01-15-13, 02:18 PM

This is the only silverware QPR will be playing for this year & they showed they were capable of not being entirely horrible against Chelsea. My money's on QPR to take this game very seriously and I love the value at +320.

I have been utilizing these in tennis for a bit now and I don't know why it didn't dawn on me to try and use the Open Parlay as a tool in soccer. These are available from 5Dimes. I did seven selection parlays for tennis and will try the same number here. Seems like if you're smart and wait patiently for the most solid bets you can find, you can work these for a profit. They won't always be for super high chalk like these first two, but in pegging the odds - if you bet seven all at odds of -1000, your price on the parlay would be -130. So I am going to try to keep the odds mostly at -1000 or less, but occasionally to fill it up - go bigger like today. You risk one unit to start off, let's say for sample purposes that these will be risking $50.

OPEN PARLAY #1
Slot #1 [1/15]: Real Madrid Total Goals Over 0.5 [-1755]
Slot #2 [1/15]: Inter Milan Total Goals Over 0.5 [-655]

Very nice. Got both slots complete today. I'd expect if we're patient with these, they could take 4-5 days to fill with the right plays - but that is the whole point is to find the most solid plays on the board and hit 'em!

Had a nice start to day today -- check my thread for my 1/5 picks. Killed it on two dogs, QPR & Bolton. Real Madrid was a gimme, too. Now let's keep the momentum into tonight lads!

RM wasn't exactly a gimme if you watched the game, lots of missed calls, Valencia kept it interesting, and the second goal was a handball but the score is all that counts. Heavy chalk sometimes goes awry but today worked out.

Adding anything to the parlay today EP?

silvap · 01-16-13, 02:32 PM

was trying to do an open parlay on 5dimes and was told i could not do it because im from outside the US. Anyone else have that issue? Seems bizarre

EaglesPhan36 · 01-16-13, 03:13 PM

How many slots do you have to fill or can you cash out whenever you want until you bust?

EaglesPhan36 · 01-16-13, 05:41 PM

You pick how many slots when you start the parlay. I did seven, but you can start I think with just one play and leave just one slot open for a two teamer. It's entirely your choice - but whatever you choose when you make the parlay, you are required to fill all the slots.

bolek · 01-16-13, 05:42 PM

Oh ok that's cool
Thanx and gl

I think with dimes the minimum first bet must involve two wagers and then an open slot equals a minimum open parlay with 3 total wagers.

This is incorrect, you can start with 1 and have up to 24 open slots (total of 25). No time limit, slots can be filled at your discretion.

EP, I don't see this prop on 5dimes(I checked under Soccer -> Spain). Where could I see it?

EaglesPhan36 · 01-17-13, 04:19 PM

It was listed for the Copa Del Rey match. It's listed on the far right of the normal match options when they have team totals listed.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-17-13, 04:22 PM

And it's complete already. Who else bu Falcao!

dk70 · 01-17-13, 05:41 PM

Lookin good EP

EaglesPhan36 · 01-19-13, 12:00 PM

Six slots complete! Going to figure out how best to finish the last slot and lock up some profit.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-19-13, 10:25 PM

Think I found a great way to finish and hedge ...

OPEN PARLAY #1
Slot #1 [1/15]: Real Madrid Total Goals Over 0.5 [-1755]
Slot #2 [1/15]: Inter Milan Total Goals Over 0.5 [-655]
Slot #3: Manchester United -308
Slot #4 : [1/17] Atletico Madrid Total Goals Over 0.5 [-1080]
Slot #5: [1/19] Manchester City [-382]
Slot #6: [1/19] Bayern Munich [-791]
Slot #7: [1/20] Atletico Madrid [-321]

The payout with that addition is +229. Levante is available +1.5 @ +101. One unit on Levante at that price. So if Madrid falters and loses or draws, a mini profit of +.01. If Madrid wins, it's +129. However, there is a chance that if Madrid wins by a single goal that the parlay could cash AND the +1.5 could hit too. Think it's a smart way to finish even though I think Atletico wins probably by multiple goals.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-20-13, 03:10 PM

Atletico wins easy 2-0, so +1.29 for the win.

EaglesPhan36 · 01-22-13, 09:03 AM

Open Parlay Project: +1.29

Opening a new Open Parlay today. This one, trying ten slots total.

OPEN PARLAY #2 [10 Slots]
Slot #1: [1/22] Ivory Coast -334

EaglesPhan36 · 01-22-13, 12:33 PM

Snuck that one in at the wire, so on to Slot #2. Not going to add anything else today. Thought about Celtic, but they've got a few absentees that might make that sketchy. Will wait for a better opportunity.
