    Best Book For Parlays?
    I know the standard payouts are 2.6 to 1 on 2 team parlays. 6:1 on 3 Team Parlays and 10:1 on 4 Team Parlays. Yes i know parlays are bad bets but are there some books that payout better in terms of parlays whereas others are worst? I know if you parlay baseball bets in books like 5dimes say for a 2 teamer would payout more than those books like Legends or bookmaker because the juice on baseball on legends/bookmaker are really juiced.

    However, when its nba and nfl season, does it really matter if you bet parlays?

    I think betpop if you want a well known book, if you are willing to try a "new" book then Parlaymakers advertise that they are guaranteed to have best odds on parlays.

    I don't bet parlays myself so can't say for sure.

      For 2-5 team parlays, Parlaymakers will always have the best parlay prices. Your max wager allowed is $250 for parlays. Parlaymakers has higher limits on the Low juice straight bet lines.

            Not sure what you mean by not legitimate. If you mean it is a smaller book than compared to 5Dimes then that is accurate.

              dynamite,

              I do not want to come across as a shill (I have already praised them quite a bit!), but to back up my earlier statements in regards to parlaymakers paying quickly, I just now tried to withdraw $100 to my Moneybookers account. It is not a huge amount and so does not prove that they can pay someone $20k instantly, but this is not my first cashout with Parlaymakers.

              The money was already in my Moneybookers account before I managed to log in and check. They pay fast - virtually instantly - to Moneybookers upon request.

              Their system with GP payments is even better. I have not tried it myself, but given my experience using moneybookers with Parlaymakers, I do not have doubts that what is described on their site is inaccurate. Unfortunately there is a fee involved for GP users but due to the security of your funds (you never keep your balance inside your parlaymakers account, they are always safe and secure inside GP), I think it is worth it. It is just as easy as I explaned it, but read up on the details on their site to be sure you understand how genius it is. Your money is safe as long as GP is safe.

              A while back I did suggest to PM that they should allow people who deposit with GP to "keep a balance" inside PM like they allow moneybookers users to do, but as far as I could tell that was not an option at this time.

                  Parlaymakers has the best parlay prices available guaranteed. Most of the time it is not even close.

                      Just to test this claim I put in a three teamer on tonight's WNBA card. Here are the PM odds.



                      If you won, then $12.36 of this (2%) would go to GP as a withdrawal fee, which would make the payoff 6.0564-1 as opposed to standard 6.0000-1, and then the fee to get money out of GP would need to be calculated into the price as well.

                        So the conclusion is that Parlaymakers is the best right? We will match any advertised offer on Parlays that we offer. I guarantee the best price compared to any advertised price period. If you are doing parlays some where else you are losing money.

                                      Because you might hit a parlay? Anyone know the exact odds for 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 teamers?

                                            You might hit the lottery or win at keno too, why not try those?

                                              Parlaymakers doesn't pay have fixed parlay payouts. They give you the price you would get by parlaying the Pinnacle lines, and then deducting two percent if you win.

                                              So in the example above (post #11) I pasted in what a PM three-teamer would pay if the lines were -107, -108, -108. To get a sense of what payoffs are on games you might want to bet, open a GP account and go to PM and type in your combos. Or go to the SBR parlay calculator and do the same thing--but don't forget to deduct the two percent.

                                                          Betphoenix (and I think BP family) has 2-team parlay at 2.8.


                                                          As to teasers, I think Betpop has +100 for 2 tm college football, and Betmania +100 for 2 tm football.

                                                            Looks like 5 Dimes (see above) has got you beat, and BetPhoenix (see below). What can you do to match these advertised prices?

Here they are for a two-teamer at -105, we then subtract the $5.60 GP fee to get the true payout. It's pretty good, it's not the same as or better than 2.8-1.

Here they are for a two-teamer at -105, we then subtract the $5.60 GP fee to get the true payout. It's pretty good, it's not the same as or better than 2.8-1.

                                                                      It is a little difficult to compare because we do offer the true payouts all the time so you can find an example where it might not work in your favor based on a particular line but we do guarantee to always have the best price so we will match any advertised rate. If you are comparing for example NFL spreads our base price is going to be at the Pinnacle line of -104 which will give you a better parlay price than either BP or 5 Dimes. However since we use the exact line and not fixed payouts you might very well be able to end up parlaying two teams at -101 or better. For example for the next NFL pre-season games spreads you could parlay Jacksonville at +103 and Indy at +105 which would be 3.16 compared to 2.8.
