Rangers
Red Sox
Cardinals

If the line is much over -120 use the RL.
Use the 2 team round robin over all 3 teams and a 3 team parlay.

3 team parlay Risk $15 to win $133
2 pick round robin over all 3 teams Risk $45 to win $162

NOTE** People keep writing me and asking me which teams go in the round robins.   Okay, put the crack pipe down and back slowly away from it.  Okay?  Each set of round robins are across all the teams listed.

So, 2 pick round robin is every possible 2 pick round robin across all the teams listed above.
3 pick round robin is every possible 3 pick round robin across all the teams listed above.
Etc, etc.

The final play is a parlay, not a round robin because it is the same number of teams as all the teams listed. In the above example we have 7 teams, so if we use 7 pick that has to be a parlay, not a round robin.  All of the other plays are round robins because there are fewer teams than the total number of teams listed.  For example, the 6 pick round robin is every possible combination of 6 picks across all 7 teams listed.

at the risk of sounding foolish and i feel others may have this same question, what does you mean by a 2 pick round robin is every possible 2 pick across the teams? 

Do you place bets for every combination of two teams you have listed?

If you guys are going to ask me questions you have to put up pictures of your wife in skimpy underwear just like tinfoils and erikhaovo did, okay?

Okay, I list all the teams that I am playing first.  I am playing all of these teams on every size round robin.

Then, I list the amount wagered on each round robin size, from the number of teams listed down to 2.

Let's look at the 2 pick round robin.  So, if I have 8 teams listed, then for the 2 pick round robin, that means that I am betting every possible 2 pick combination across all 8 teams.

The amount bet I give is the total amount bet across all of these plays.  You can calculate the number of plays and divide that number into the amount bet, that gives you the amount bet on each play.  Most books won't make you do that, you can just say "round robin times 2 across the following teams (then give all the teams), risking N dollars" and they will do the rest.

If I list all of these plays out for you there will be dozens and dozens of plays, so maybe I will do it in email because I don't want to fill up this thread with that stuff.

Correction, this says "8 teams listed", in my first round robin I list 9 teams, in the second one I list 7 teams.  Correct this for whichever set you are using for this example.

You do understand that the risk on these types of plays is higher than making each play separately?

If we have a bad day you could get creamed.  I just want to make sure that you understand that.
