    Did BetPhoenix recently disable tennis parlays?

    I used to make tennis parlays there and was going to do so again tonight only to find that the option is no longer available. Does anyone know anything about this? I know the other BetPho brands didn't allow them, but I thought things were different at the main brand.

    I know they recently had some matches where the opponents were not correct (subbed Troiki for Andreev or something) and thus they voided any bet on these games. Maybe they are having problems with the sport all together.

    sometimes I would have to wait a bit after the lines are up to parlay tennis, which is fine i guess but if they nixed it altogether **** them.

    Is this a touchy subject for you? I asked Richard months ago in a thread on Covers to allow tennis parlays and it was done in about an hour. I have no idea if they disabled them alltogether or not. I know I asked the line manager at BetMania about parlays on tennis and he acted like I asked for a blowjob.

    I'm sorry, but I'm still confused. I'm not even discussing a technique, just a simple question of sportsbook functionality. I couldn't get anymore tennis parlays down and wasn't sure if it was just me that been cut-off for winning on them or if others had been restricted at the same time as me, indicating a global policy change.

    Isn't that what SBR is for, so we can talk with other players about our experiences? Are sportsbooks really out there accepting bets they would rather not take? They just let us sneak them in under their nose rather than disable them in the software? I'm sorry, but your exhortations to remain silent are too vague to be followed without examination.

    I don't get it, unless they were taking correlated bets.

    In my book, if I had one, you could parlay all your -1000 chalks in tennis, with anything else not related, until your parlay reached the max payout of 250k or whatever. I of course would not allow correlated bets like the fav ML and the same guy -5.5 games in tennis.

    Don't worry. When your sportsbook opens and you're faced with busto or stiff everyone, you might get it.

    It is to there advantage to take tennis parlays, i think tennis has more upsets than any sport, maybe that's why they stopped, some noobs hitting two or three ML parlays with underdog plays probably killed them, on the other hand, most noobs just take the favorite

    Yeah, "A sharp who knows all the tricks in the book". Apparently, most are centered around preventing everyone from retiring young.

    Every post justin7 makes I like him less. Guy is as close to a crook as they come, but makes himself out as a good guy. He will take advantage of a 2 year old kid if he could make a buck. Find it rather disturbing myself.

    Justin is just used to an extremely high level of personal/professional recognition and praise wherever he goes. He's a former Olympic-caliber fencer, an attorney with ties to the Indiana State Bar, a former linesman for Pinnacle and has been featured by the Wall Street Journal and ESPN's E:60. You can't blame him for not wanting to share pearls of wisdom with just a few "non-people" on a sub-forum in SBR. I'm sure if a major newspaper or journal asked him for the secret of tennis parlays he'd be more than happy to share his info.

    He's talking about publishing now, maybe the tennis parlay secret will be in his book.

    I don't get it, why can't people talk about this? I havent been at phoenix in a while but as of a month ago they were taking parlays. This would suck if they stopped doing it honestly
