Joe,Honestly, this is sports gambling 101.  LOL, go post a parlay for nba, and then claim that you are profitable, you will have 30 posts about how parlays and teasers are sucker bets.  They have basically no value.  NOONE MAKES MONEY OFF PARLAYS, at least, not in the long term.Do yourself a favor, if you don&#x27;t have a very big bankroll, at least, only bet a 2 or 3 game parlay.  The 4&#x2B; ones are just a waste of time, and money.However, as you said, "I have enjoyed the action greatly", so, if you waste $10 or $20  bucks to have some fun...whatever.Good luck in the future.

I had a buddy learn this the hard way, and he was only playing 3 and 4 teamers.  After losing his money he looked back and realized he was hitting around 60% of his picks, but lost most of his parlays because of that one lost.

Im going to stick with 3 or 4.I thought I would hit one,but it still hasnt happened in 5 years,so time to try something else

If the Lakers would have beaten the Cavs two nights ago, I would have hit on an 11 team parlay for just 50 bucks. They're not smart bets but they're fun and low risk if you're smart about it.
