    Baseball Parlays

    Hey Folks
    Just wanted to drop this insight on baseball parlays.
    Parlays are a lot like poker tournaments, you may win like two big ones (6 team plus parlays) a month. So why wouldn't you? They pay a lot better and you're not nickle and diming the sportsbook. you attack and if you win you come up big. why would people want to bet small amounts on a bunch of teams. Go for the bank and attack. Like Mayweather said. When he bets on baseball he bets hard.

    Parlays are a lot like poker tournaments? Poker tournaments usually have a 9% hold, if you have superior skills they are + EV to a player, and you usually get paid back more than your buy in for finishing any spot in the top 15% of entrants, which reduces your risk of ruin.

    6 team parlays have a high hold %, they are -EV to the player, and you only get paid when you hit all legs which makes your risk of ruin very probable.

    So I guess, parlays really aren't like poker tournaments at all, are they?

    But hey, thanks for your insight. I'm sure the bookmakers are now shaking in fear now that you've uncovered this well kept secret with your insight.
