Yeah, I used to have success betting 3-game parlays well over a decade ago. That was black market betting through a bookie I never actually knew.
The college game was different back then. I could usually spot some mismatches. I kept up with recruiting and I actually worked for ESPN at the time. I had a free Insider subscription, and I was working on the website, so I was just swimming in info every day.
I had never done a parlay more than three games before this year. It has me thinking about different ways to possibly play it.
The risk to reward ratio is obviously appealing, but the odds are stacked against it mathematically.
It might be a better strategy in the long run to do individual bets if you're hitting more than missing, but never hitting the full parlay. Of course you could always put in a low-risk parlay on top of the singles. It seems like it might be worth playing with some permutations if you're doing more than a few games. Because the odds of hitting start getting really high as you add more games.

Yeah, I fully understand that. Thus the $3 bet. It’s really fun to follow if it doesn’t get killed early. Plus, my sports betting is strictly for entertainment. I never lay anything that will affect me at all financially if it doesn’t hit.
