    so all those to win SU parlayed?

    If that's the case save your money.


    Lots of these teams don't need to win, ties or even losses in some cases still advance, be careful with cup games..

    One of these games will end with a draw.

    I would actually worry about the three biggest favorites there,

    Marseille has a 3-1 aggregate lead, no reason to attack, they can lose and still advance, Liverpool didn't exactly blow anyone away in the first game, Torres is out , and EPL is more important to them than this game, and Shakhtar I actually would expect to win but if they need 2 goals and time becomes a factor, pushing forward might leave them open, wouldn't be surprised to see a draw there at all..

    Too many teams in the parlay, especially because its the Europa league and what the guys above said.

    BOL though I hope you win if you already bet, I got bets on 2 of those teams.

    Good luck. Like people above said, careful with cup games. There is usually a lot of information you need to be aware of, such as: aggregrate leads, a teams history in the cup (Madrid in Champions sucks for example, but they're great in league play) the fact that they are usually lower scoring games, and a lot of other sub factors that usually make cup games a little riskier then league games.

    ya was going to say this. think about how confident you are in which teams will realistically win. if you think only 2 of those teams will win go for the 2x round robin, if 3 then 3x, etc.

    bol.

    3+ parlays are always a waste of money. Even assuming you're playing beer money stakes, you get better entertainment value if you just parlay two favourites each.
    Furthermore - as mentioned before - betting favourites in cup games with potential no-win-needed scenarios is always a no-go. The Liverpool and OM bets e.g. are definitely -EV.

    Parlays on Cup games is risky. GL if you placed your bet already.

    marseille have 'le classique' this weekend away to PSG.. it's a huge fixture in french football, much like el classico to the spanish with the social divisions and such. deschamps may tinker with his lineup knowing a small loss or draw still advances his squad.. stay away for me.
