And it's night after night like that. Nobody would believe me that I pick 75%+.

Clev/Bos Over 10
NYM/Mia Under 7

Parlay 1480 to win 3802

Clev/Bos Over 10
NYM/Mia Under 7
Hoston/Pitt Under 7.5
Atlanta/St.Louis Over 8

Parlay 283 to win 3293

Clev/Bos Over 10
NYM/Mia Under 7
Hoston/Pitt Under 7.5
Atlanta/St.Louis Over 8
Detroit/Oakland Over 7.5

Parlay 56 to win 1394

Clev/Bos Over 10
NYM/Mia Under 7
Detroit/Oakland Over 7.5

Parlay 244 to win 1541


Watching the Tigers game pile on runs after runs, both Over's insta-clearing and the other Under finishing 1-0. I think I run worst than anyone in this world.

You are crying because you lost 4 parlays? Man...we got  some real whiners on covers. Everyone on here is going to tell you the same thing....who complains about losing parlays, it happens to everyone. Its always one that fucks you why you think they pay you so much...rofl. Exactly why i never play parlays.

why would you put the same team in all parlays?

don't put the same wager in multiple parlays.

its your own fault for putting the under in every fuckin play maybe it took this for you to learn your lesson..

bet all the games straight, only way to consistently win money in sports betting.. parlays, teasers and reverses are for suckers in the long run.

If you think about it, I actually staked $2000 on the 2-team parlay and IF those two teams won, then I would be whiling to re-bet X-amount on the other 2-team parlay and X-amount on the Detroit game. The 2K is broken down. The reason: The book offers bonuses on parlays, effectively reducing the per-game juice to as low as -104 on a 5-teamer.

Before the 5-games started, the WORST possible outcome that I could have imagined was precisely this: Losing one of the 2 main games and only one of the 2 main game, precisely the Under. The Boston game was my play of the day and I was contemplating between putting Houston or Miami Under as the second game.

The odds of winning precisely those 4 and losing that one: 32 to 1 against! And it's night after night.

Please explain how parlays are for suckers in the long run? If you're getting paid 10 to 1 on a 4-teamer than sure but if you're getting paid the right odds + a bonus, making each game around -105, isn't it better than betting straight?

Det and Oak are going over it appears--good call on that one, too.

3-5 team parlays are good--if you're good and feelin it.

10 teamers are just swingin for the fences and NOT good at all--unless it's some sort of conrest and it's free.

What book does this?  5dimes is the opposite.  They don't give you reduced juice in parlays.

This is one of the dumbest posts on here in long time. How exactly did you lose money that was never won in the first place?

If you shove all in with the nuts flush and 4 people call you, 2 with smaller flushes drawing dead and 2 with the same top pair, each with about 7% chance to win, hit runner-runner full house, did you not lose the POT ?

That was my chance to really stick it to the man. When will I ever have such easy overs again?
