Is this cheating?

[princesspolamalu]

Im thinking of placing several ML parlay wagers on the NCAA tourney. I cant decide between Temple and Cornell. Would it be considered cheating if I placed the same wager twice.....one with Cornell and one with Temple? Ive done this many years ago with a different book but I dont know if it would be a problem at others.

If you took a bonus from the sportsbook they likely would care since you are just betting both sides for rollover even if it is in a parlay. I would email them and ask before doing it.

Also, if you really can't decide, just don't bet those teams in your parlay, you are really only losing juice if bet both sides evenly in the parlays.

Also no bonus was taken.

I know australian sportsbooks dont care if you were to double up on a leg of a multi. offshore books are so damn stingy

I like Temple a lot....I may just leave that game out all together....who knows I have another day to figure it out. Im just not sold on all this Cornell/Sienna business. It could happens yes....be it could also just be Purdue and Temple like its supposed to be. I guess thats why they call it madness. GL to all.

Why would you do a bet on both sides? You would only make a profit if Cornell wins assuming you bet the same amount on both teams. So why wouldn't you just make a smaller bet on Cornell for the same payoff?

[jon13009]

The books make their profit from having both sides bet on an event. That is why there is a spread. Regardless of who wins or loses, as long as there is even betting on both sides thew Books win. That is the Juice, Vig......
However, if you are playing with free money, then that is another story.....

I am probably wrong since I do not bet NCAAB and only do the March Madness for fun, but I have Cornell by 9 points over Temple...
