Who loses this Parley?

all ok....

i respect your capping skills.. not your spelling skills. You've been around for how long and still can't spell *PARLAY*??

what advantage do you get by mathematically parlaying anyways? Why not play all those separately.

Let's say theoretically you had a $200,000 bankroll and you put $1,000 on each... isn't that better than $1,000 on the parlay? Then you could have food money for the next couple of weeks paid for and guaranteed 3/4 cash. I just am not getting people ripping on me for not parlaying my favorites.

Just one of those words I can never get right. I wouldn't start a grammar/spelling war with me. Now that you called me out on it I'll never forget. To be honest I've seen it spelled both ways around here and I've never looked the word up in a dictionary, but thank you.

I wouldn't look into it too much on people ripping you. It's personal preference. Neither angle has an edge over the other unless your book penalizes you on parlays. Most solid off-shore books don't these days. They pay out true odds for the most part. I don't know why you care so much what other people think. It's your cash. I'm not really understanding your math. The person who did the 1,000 parlay would still have 199,000 and food money left lol. It's just risk/reward. Simple statistics basic stuff. No use getting panties in a bunch of what some people tell you what to do and not do with your money on a gambling forum.

Thanks Pharaoh and much respect to you as a capper (but not a speller lol). I will add that I'm somewhat of a spelling nazi and used to win spelling bees and shit. Lol. Sorry man and thanks for the explanation. I see that it's just personal preference and a bit more risk for less investment unless your book penalizes.

2 down 2 to go

Maybe Djokovic, hes already advancing 2 the next stage so he has nothing to play for tomorrow. Wouldn"t be surprised if Berdych won.

Good point. I remember four years ago in Shanghai, Djokovic already advanced to the semifinals, he lost to Tsonga in last group match.

Yeah, have to be careful for sure. I can see Djokovic "tanking" if it goes 3 especially if Berdych is playing well.

MUHerd37 · 11-09-12, 02:44 PM
