    guys, there are several threads on here about this strategy (about 100 pages total) and i've read them all. i know the people who started those threads don't want attention called to it, but oh well.

    this strategy also works with the first half, but the parameters are spread -7+ (preferably 7.5+) and total less than 35 (preferably less than 28).

    i've been doing that for cfl the last 2 weeks and i hit both - 1 fave/over and 1 dog/under (-7 & 23.5 and -7.5 & 24).

    it sucks, will hill doesn't have o/u's up yet for me. thanks for listing those games, traderjoe

    You can't bet a team to win and the Over? That is a pretty standard football parlay. I'm not betting the dog and under on the same game.

    Hey Dan, not when the spread is more than 30-35% of the total, they will not allow the parlay. I use 5dimes for most of my foots, and they quit taking them a couple of years ago.

    Very interesting. I'll have to check to see if one of my books takes the bet. I may do a small on on the Cantor (CG Technology) website today to test.

    Actually, most books stopped taking these bets a few years back.  However, I know on 5dimes you can bet these using "IF BETS".

    Example:  You can bet $210 on Auburn -20 to win IF Aub/Ark Over 55 for $100 wins.  You can also bet $210 on Arkansas +20 to win IF Aub/Ark Under 55 wins for $100.

    The parlay is not available on Cantor. IF BETS may be the only option here.

    I think what I'll look at is to bet to win X amount on the first part and do the IF bet for 1/2 X for the second part. If you lose the first part, you would have lost the parlay anyway. If you win the first part, betting only 1/2 for the second part assures a profit even with a loss, which would have cost the whole parlay previously.

    Maybe I'll try and go back and  run through  a few previous years to see how that would have worked. Betting to win $100 on the first and $50 on the second part would be a $150 win on each of those parlays instead of $260 on my original numbers. Will be curious to see how many partial wins we can get from the previous losses.

    When testing I think I'll use the total as the first part since that seems more likely to hit than a heavy favorite covering a big number while staying under the total. We shall see.

     

    Stay disciplined and manage your bankroll
