Is there a general rule when it comes to same game hook up in College football?

Does every book have the same parameters when it comes to, when to allow and when not to allow a same game parlay? Is there a set guideline?

If not, who are the least strict?

Every book is different.

If you bet at Canbet or Jazette books with an ingame parlay, either may rob you later when you win.

It's ridiculous. I can't even find a book that will let me hook up a 16 1/2 to the total.

There's a reason for that. They don't want you to have the best of it.

So what do you think of such a parlay, say +17 under 50? Is this in the area of around even, or is it clearly a positive equity play? What about +17 under 45? Where is the limit to when it gets to a clear edge?

All opinions appreciated...

Clear edge, depending on a few variables would probably be over 35-40% correlation. +17/u50 is a little bit of a grey area, but probably +EV, which is why most books won't allow it.

When you get to close to the 3:1 ratio, the edge doesn't overcome the juice. I'd book +17/UND50.
