    Tennis Parlay

    Is this a bad parlay? I know all parlays are hard to win just looking for fun during the day.

    Tursonuv -185
    Youzhny -175
    Janowicz -325
    Gasquet -260
    Tsonga -190

    40.00 pays 227.61

    Yeah, it's pretty damn bad. I don't see any of them losing though... hence the odds, I suppose?

    Well if you don't see any of them losing how is it bad? Sorry I'm truly an amateur in tennis so please comment. Thanks

    Because they aren't all as likely to win as the odds suggest. I see them all as more likely to win (for math geniuses this means they stand a greater than 50 % chance of winning), but they would have to win more than half the time for you to break even now wouldn't they?

    No need to be sorry. It has nothing to do with tennis though. It is extremely basic math and extremely basic betting fundamentals. I'm equally amazed every time this happens. It's mind-boggling people don't realize @ 1.01 (-10000000000) isn't a good bet simply because it is more likely to win than lose.

    Dude, there's no value there at all. Books love people putting that garbage in parlays. Joker wins 99% of the time. I would hate to be on that 1% tho.
