I thought you had to bet on each game,so it would be 1 dollar per each combination,not just 1 dollar for the whole parlay.You might be talking about an IF bet.Either way,good luck. An old gambler told me if you started with a 2,000 dollar bankroll and bet 4% on every game,doing 3 games per night,and hit only 55%,you would be up 2 million in 20 years.I said no way,but he showed me on paper that it works.The only problem is you can never withdraw any money,so it grows and grows because as your 2,000 grows,your 4% bets are larger.

I still don't fully understand round robins. How exactly does this work?
A round robin is just a series of parlays. if you had 4 teams in a round robin (A,B,C,D), you can set up a series of 2 or 3 team parlays. If you set up 4 teams and chose the 3 team parlay option it would look like this
parlay 1 teams abc
2 abd
3 bcd
4 acd
each one is just a standard 3 team parlay. people do this because you can go 3 for 4 and still hit one of the parlays. if you lose game A, you still win parlay 3.Round robins pay out better than straight bets but less than a 4 team parlay because you have dont have to win all 4. If you put 400.00 on my example then it would be 100.00 on each parlay and would payout as follows:
0-4 lose everything
1-4 lose everything
2-4 lose everything
3-4 you win 1 3 teamer. 100 turns to 800. your 400.00 is now 800.00
4-4 you clean up. 800 on each. Your 400.00 now becomes 3200.
looks like TRAIN can lose 1 of these and still make 5-10k depending on which one loses. That right, TRAIN?

Thats pretty close. I have the 5 team parlay and all 5 of the possible 4 team parlays....so its a $6 bet. The three teamers pay out decent and obviously have a much better chance to hit, but I thought I'd just stop at 4......

Uh train, have u ever won a ticket like this before? I just don't know how all these teams even have a remote chance of winning. With that said
Sure have. Several in college football this year (including a 6 team underdog ML parlay), and couple in the nfl, but not for these odds with the inflated college bball moneylines....
