              Come on guys PARLAYS=suckerbets stop waisting your money and try to make money.Just for a little itch u wanna give the books even more of an edge to get your money. They already make enough from people. Thats like playing table games in the casino the house always wins. Sorry to be so straight forward but u know.....

                    seems to me the odds on parlays are less than they should be by multiplying the individual odds together, you would win more by playing the individual lines separately.

                        There are some times playing them is worthwhile; still a couple of -110 books who give closer to -105 a side in parlays, and also useful to maximise +EV on some bets when you are playing into low volume markets. I think Don P wrote an excellent book on this published through SSB/Wong back in the day?

                            true, but most, including the posters here appear to just be hoping for a big payoff for a small outlay like lottery players, rather than approaching them with a mind for extracting enhanced value for the bets - bookies must love 'em

                              i would say is quite fair, for a parlay, you risk a bit of stake to gain a larger more of the payout.
                              It depends on how you parlay your bets and try not to be greedy to go to Canadian or Super Yankee, trixie or double will do.

                                Iwould say I hit about one of every three or four, three teamers. I'll throw one in along with my straight bets. Quite rewarding. Great job on yours pal.

                                      so how do you determine them to be "ridiculous" ?

                                            so you're only talking about larger numbers rather than some measure of superior value?

                                            obviously taking two 3/1 dogs and getting paid at 15/1 is a big price but how is that better value than backing the dogs individually at the same price?

                                            or are you able to get bigger odds if you parlay them?

                                              i agree with the torture part on sunday i had 5 teams hit and the only one left was the thunder, going against a depleted suns team and of course the thunder thought it would be a walk in the park

                                                    Who exactly? with every book i've looked at parlay odds, they all pay out less than the individual odds multiplied. some appallingly so! rebatewager springs to mind for one.

                                                      obviously taking two 3/1 dogs and getting paid at 15/1 is a big price but how is that better value than backing the dogs individually at the same price?

                                                      or are you able to get bigger odds if you parlay them?
                                                      hmmm, seems those questions were a bit too difficult?

                                                        I usually play big parlay with 8-15 games. I always lose by a game, if I stick to 2-4 parlay I usually win but don't get the big pay off since I play small amount of dollars on parlay. Anyways congratulation on your winnings.
