    Just wanted to throw this out there to get opinions from winning players.  I've been reading a lot about basics and different strategies to try a run a consistent profit. A lot starts with bankroll of course, and taking emotion out of the equation.  You have to be ok with a loss, it happens.  Stick to your bankroll and stick to your daily strategy.

    What I haven't seen a lot of opinions on is the best way to wager.  Of course single games is what you see most people speak of, but what are your opinions on betting 2 team, money line parlays?  I have been having a lot of success on this in the NBA and NHL playoffs.  If you have a couple teams that are -150 to -300 favorites, does it not make more sense to parlay the juice into a single bet?  What other ways would you want to capitalize on these types of lines if you are confident the favorite will win?  I'd love to hear your opinions....

    with 3 multi sports going at the same time, the Twin, and Three play Parlay system is at a premium low-risk advantage; this all ends (June) with the conclusion of the NHL (Stanley Cup), and the NBA (Finals) taking high valued favorites with minus payout advantage does not put food on the table, however; dogs, the RL, PL, PS, and +ML (all recommended for 'twin' play consideration) twins, and to a lesser extent; 3-play Parlays are about creating the highest system of handicapped value connected to a double, or triple win payout, the opposite, No, "it does not make more sense to parlay the juice into a single bet" simply because the favorite (MLB) wins 47.32% of the time.....NBA 54.08% NFL53.45% take note: to get a further understanding, you can experiment with taking the two highest ML favorites of the day on the MLB card, twin 'em up, see what happens, also take two dogs on the (reverse) RL twin 'em up, see what happens, you'll be amazed at the 10 day results of your 'experiment'

    yes what sports network said i agree with also but man -300 chalks lose also. US pros just go with chalks under -160

    any dog no matter his price we like em we pop em harder than ever

    I have hit 5 team dog parlays in bases 6 teamers was highest but i still handicap the sides. If you serious about doing this for a living bet the games flat. But get your best expected value. DO a serach on how to figure that out all you need is calculator pen n paper/

    Of course what you said about MM and be a robot is 100% correct take the loss and if you need to blow off steam do it outside.

    We all suffered many 9th inn meltdowns after leading by 4 runs in the 8th it suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx especially when you drop a gee whiz on a -150 chalk.
