Imagine the misery!! Parlays are for suckers...

parlay 100.00 for 4919.57


You know.....I just did this for fun, but I would have rather dropped more than one game. Does that make sense? LA Angels and Cards games aren't over yet but it looks like it may be just the Rangers falling down on this GREAT parlay.
I don't do this very often, but I had a decent day overall and yet this damn miss is bumming me out!!!! tulsa

I wonder how many big parleys miss by 1 game. I have never hit anything over a 4 team parley in my life mainly because I rarely try them, but I have missed a ton of them things by one team.

Sorry to hear about your tough loss. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PLAYS TOMMOROW.

I lost one similar parlay yesterday Tulsa....
I lost on Cleveland

N Y Yankees -1.5
C W Sox -1.5
St Louis -1.5
Cleveland -1.5 <<
Cin/SF Over 9.5

Well, Aquiles.... I am never going to promote playing the parlays. However, sometimes it's fun just to try! NEWPORT believes in the parlay, that's for sure. I have nothing against anyone that does, but parlays aren't part of my responsible wagering choices. They are fun, though...

Good luck today, Aquiles! tulsa

All of them hit except the Toronto game which was 7-6 bot 9. All Toronto had to do was lay down and let Oak win by 1 run.:monsters-

OK, that one is far worse than my loss! FAR WORSE!

Maxdemo, I would say that parlays aren't worth the frustration like that! I am sick about mine and now I'm sick about yours!! LOL! I have got to get smart and avoid the parlays. tulsa

Tulsa;
Dont feel bad. I do quite well hitting parlays. Most of the plays I pick are parlays...but not 8 teamers..lol

Here is one I hit Sunday for a winner:

.......fwiw, I don't play parlays during foots , but I 've found parlays in bases tpo work ok ..............what I do is pick 2 teams ONLY , and then add both sides of an even money bet for a third leg , in essence making it a 3 teamer............also allows room to hedge if first leg wins ........works nicely if you pick your spots well ............like the post above , just add both ends of another slight fav/dog and turn it into a 4 team payoff..........

eh eh eh , very good mate.
I like parlays and i think that the best way to go on sportsbets is with small parlays (2 or 3 teams) but this is my theory and everyone have his own.
You can see my soccer thread here http://forum.therx.com/showthread.php?t=288052 and see my parlays money management style.

Mate, you post your parlays on this forum? If not please start and i will follow your parlay thread for sure!

Aquiles

I will start..thanks.

I usually play such parlays for the ending of my balance and it cashes more often than I would expect

And this win was much more fun than 'normal' wagers that won yesterday

szlem, nice hit there! That's the way to turn less than $5 into some spending money!! Great job. tulsa

Szlem, great job mate!

Tulsa,

Tell me about it. I cant beleive I didnt see this thread earlier. I had a 4 team parlay all on the runline. Rockies +1.80, Astros +1.70, Royals +1.75, and Giants +1.50. Payed over $5,000 for $100 risk. Lost the last part. Shitty.

I think it´s a good idea open one Parlay Thread everyday here when we can post the parlays that we bet.
