    Selecting alternate point spreads in parlays on bet365

    Anyone ever did that?

    For example, you have a 4-team parlay and one of the selections is -21.5, and you decide to take the -21 at -125 odds.

    If so, did you get the standard parlay bonus offered by bet365?

    I am not sure I understand. Do you mean the parlay bonus percentage goes down?

    Let's say a 4-teamer pays 12.28 to 1. You buy a point on a couple of games to make them -133 each.

    That would make your effective parlay payout 10.19 to 1. With the 10% bonus (or 1.02 units), a $100 wager should return $1019 + $102 bonus. Am I right or does the bonus get completely vanished?

    Form reading the parlay bonus rules there does not appear to be any restriction on buying points.

    http://extra.bet365.com/promotions/e.../parlay-bonus/

    This line comes closes to addressing it; "To give you even greater value there is no minimum qualifying price restriction so your selections are eligible for the bonus whatever the odds." and appears to be saying it is fine.

    But the easiest way to be sure would be to place a small parlay with a points buy and see if it is paid the bonus.

    Yes I know what it says. There are no restrictions on Alternate Spreads. But my question is, has anyone here ever placed, or places parlays with alternate point spreads? I would assume it would be pretty common as we regularly see parlay hedges and teasers and how the mass just wants to win, at any cost. So I would assume that someone with a 5-team parlay where the risk is $500 and the potential return is around $12K and a spread that looks like -14.5, the bettor would buy it down to -14 JUST IN CASE it lands on 14 and the rest of the games win.
