I have made 3 3-game parlays. 3x3=9 last time I checked. I am 8-1 on the season. Get your math straight before calling people liars.


I thought you had to win all games in the parlay to pay out, is that incorrect?

A push just knocks it down to the next level parlay.

he said he went "8-1".. with 3 parlays, wouldn't that be either 3-0 or 2-1?

Parlays can be really good, when used carefully. I've made a decent amount this MLB season with 2 and a few 3 team parlays.



i know there are some professional baseball gamblers that regularly do 2 team money line parlays on heavy favorites for baseball

As far as So Miss...they are awful If Miss State beat them 49-0 why couldnt Bama? Doesnt Bama have a better defense than State?


Not exactly the way a sharp thinks about a game.
Ever consider that Bama is horrendous under Saban covering the spread when they are 40+?

See if you were smart you should bet 9 single games and you would actually be 8-1, instead of 2-1.

You also said you won a parlay the first week, one the second week and then went 2-3 in week 3 (after saying you bet 1 parlay a week).

1+1+3 = 5 5 *3 game parlays = 15 games.

I guess you don't math much?

Also, anyone that bets based on the transitive property is going to lose lots of money and not win 14 of 15.

Just calling a spade a spade.

Wouldn't going 2-1 in 3 game parlays be about the same or better as going 8-1 ats?

You guys are the ones mentioning a "sharp"...I am not a professional gambler. I merely posted what I played this year so far and the results. And just because Saban's team didnt cover 40+ in a previous game, does not mean they wont in a subsequent game. So Miss is a very weak team. They should have covered, but didnt. That's why it's called gambling.

I bet a 4 game parlay week 1. LSU pushed so it was essentially a 3 gamer. In week 2 I won another 3 game parlay. In week 3 I lost a 3 game parlay because Bama did not cover. So, that's 9 games total that I bet on and one did not cover. So, math wizard, that is 8-1. Back at ya, spade.

Yes, I have gone 2-1 on my total bets, but they were using some voodoo math and saying I went 14-1...I have picked 8 teams that covered and 1 that did not. The one that did not killed my total bet in week 3. So, broken down, I have gone 8-1 on individual picks, but 2-1 on total bets.
