Parlays are actually a good/great way to narrow your odds, sometimes actually in your favor

but the key is to find parlays that are at least somewhat "co related" and then find a bookie who will accept them.

I completely agree that playing the "parlay cards" is simply giving your money to the book, but if you play side/total parlays and IF you can find a bookie that will accept puck line parlays on hockey, run line parlays in baseball, or who will take the "circled" games in NCAA football, you can actually get the odds into your favor.

Of course the next challenge will be to replace your bookie every few years, bookies hate to be beaten with regularity and most bookies won't take this type of action, but some do, and with this type of betting strategy you can win money consistently and not have to pick 90% winners to make a profit like you do by betting favorites at -250 or worse.

That's about 90%. I had no idea Louisville would get this far I'm just as shocked as you. I sent a pm to my buddy gambler, told him to hop on the gonzaga train with me.

Was going to bet 25$ for a 600 plus win on all four games. Glad I didn't... but who cares about 25$?

I am all in on my next picks bc there is no way in hEll Louisville is making it next round. HeLl hELl lol

I know some of my picks straight up won't get much but if you do parlays it WILL. Easy picks with nice payout for almost sure things.

I am an analyzer and I do very well on my picks for parlays. I go big on Football (college or NFl), Make a bunch but I have learned to mix it with 3-4 parlays and then bet little on 12 team (and smaller).... bc If i win, it is all big on a little. If don't, oh well. Mix and match the variations. I don't even follow College Hoops. I like the analytical part of it.

If you want a good laugh, I am wearing my WKU shirt.... I know they are not in.... but KY and Louisville still lol. I go to alot of their football and hoops games with brother when I visit there. Spend 1/3 of my life down there. That is all they got to look forward to, since they don't got pro sports there.

Taught many how to tailgate. I can NOT believe they never tailgated down there. Must be a WI power thing. Anyways it may be my fault if the fans act like fools. lol. Maybe I will show them Raw Beef and Onions on rye next time I hang down there

One game at a time. You should give the money line a try, you won't make as much but you keep one team from ruining you whole bet. I agree I don't know how the hell Louisville keeps winning, sometimes I think the fix is in. My gut is telling me to load up on M State,  ugh I'm torn for what its worth though I like em, you like em, and so does a few other high rollers in Vegas will all be on m state.  Nothing like a good tailgate especially at a college football game.

Love parlays and I am way ahead of the game overall.

I should be thankful that up until Louisville game last night, my whole entire bracket was spot on. I don't even watch Basketball, I am an analyzer and works wonders for me.

Mich State will win. Be funny if it came down to Louisville vs UK.

Parlays do pay big, so if you are up don't take my the slow approach advice  

Louisville vs UK, that would be funny but I don't know Notre Dame giving Kentucky a tough fight 31-31 at the Half.

-250s ;)

Straight bets or are always the best way to go. Is just if you are willing to have a higher risk. I couldn't see myself chasing 6, 4, whichever team parlays. I would much rather wager a higher amount on a -110 or ML +.

everyone I know made a grand or more off the M state game all I made was a lousy 100 bucks, so pissed today.

I know it may take longer to build the bank roll, over the long haul even though you and gambler don't play the high money lines its' the way to go.

I agree that most betters should do it that way.

However if you play enough and bet small wagers for higher payouts, assuming you know what you are doing and some luck, you can do quite well. It also depends on what you are betting on. I play alot of over/under.  

If the money line is closer to almost what you bet (or more) than it is worth it. Betting 100 and getting only 20 on winnings makes no sense.... betting 100 and getting 90 or more, that is fine. I'd much rather bet 10$ on a 4 team and get 400 plus, then I variate the teams etc on slightly different bets. So lets say I bet 10$ on variations of 5 different outcomes on same games (4 different games)... and I only win on one, I won 400 plus (sometimes even more than that, that is just the low end). I won 400 plus my 10$ bet (410) minus the 50$ total bets... I won 360$.

All the people I know that do 3, 4 teams parlays have had mixed results with their bets, they also don't do variations. So I will not advocate others betting as such.
