Best part of that parlay is if you win the first two you can bet Nevada (9:15 kickoff) and hedge the bet so you win either way


So if you get the later game in a parlay it's good strategy to bet on the other team in a straight bet? And if so how much typically?

depends on how you feel about the game.

say u did 20 on a 3 team parlay, payout 120, you win the first to games but dont feel great about the final one. bet 50 on the other team straight bet ATS.

You either lose the parlay, and win the straight bet making you +30. (50 for the win - 20 lost parlay)

or you win the parlay and lose the straight bet +70 minus juice. ( 120 for parlay win - 50 lost straight bet)

make sense?

Okay for example in a parlay I bet $10 to win $60 on LSU-4, Boise -20, and Wisconsin -17.

LSU and Boise both covered so all I needed was Wisconsin to cover to win my $60. However if Wisconsin didn't cover, I would win nothing.

Therefore in order to guarantee that I win money no matter what, I put a $20 bet on Norther Illinois +17. If NIU would have covered I would have won $20 and lost my $10 parlay. With Wisconsin winning, I won my $60 from the parlay and lost my $20 NIU bet.

You guys are 2 of the best posters on this site. Lot of elitist assholes roaming around these boards but you 2 are quite the opposite.

Kudos!

trust me we were all there once. I try to help as much as i can because i remember how confusing this shite was to me a year or two ago. You will pick up quickly. just ask questions as often as you need answers, only way you will pick up on it.

The rule is you got to help others out when the time comes

I just pulled the trigger on Florida (-19). I think Kentucky is absolutely horrific.

indeed.


so i have 20 on UGA @ 10.5, would it be wise to replace my 3 team parlay with another team instead of having a UGA bet twice?


i usually wouldn't do this but the spread is to good to pass up
