I think the OP is referring to a moneyline parlay fellas so it does make sense
he doesn't want to risk -$255 on Duke moneyline, he rather just throw the two together and bet 1 unit to win a unit

You are correct with this line of thought. However, Thorpe is still ultimately "more" correct. Why? Well, on 5dimes I have both ML's at -235 on the reduced juice lines. When these two games are bet on a parlay, 5dimes jacks the line up to -245 on both games.
Thus, the wiser financial decision would be to risk the total amount that you would risk on the parlay ON THE FIRST GAME. If it wins, then risk the total proceeds (bet amount and win amount) from the first game on the second game money line.
Doing this will be more profitable EVERY time. Thus, Thorpe is ultimately spot on with his comment.

$1,392 at -235 would pay $592.34. That added to $392 win results in a $984 net win, not the $817 that you state.
However, IF the parlay is calculated at the same odds as the individual money line odds, the payouts will be the same. My point was addressing the 5dimes policy of jacking up parlay odds....and thus making it the inferior choice. Many of the other books I have bet with online also jack up parlay odds (the greek, pinnacle), so it's something the individual gambler needs to pay attention to.
