A guy I know decided to offer parlay cards for this coming NFL season. There are two odds this about them though. 1) All of the lines are rounded as follows: pk, -3, -7, -10, -14 etc. 2) The payouts are a bit higher than normal. The payout scale is as follows:
2 = 3 to 1
3 = 7 to 1
4 = 15 to 1
5 = 30 to 1
6 = 60 to 1
7 = 100 to 1
8 = 150 to 1
He said it was to intice people to play the higher parlays thus creating less risk. Is there anyway to exploit this type of system? It seems like it could be exploited, but I am not sure how.


-Thanks

usually the locals use the "for" 1 not "to" 1

their totals will have a gap of 2 pts between the over and under as well

Yeah he said if I bet $10 I get $70 plus my $10.

EDIT:
On $10 bet
7 for 1 = $70 on winner
7 to 1 = $80 on winner
right??

With the rounded lines, make sure ties push, not lose.

If this guy puts these cards out on Monday and picks them up late Friday he will get crushed with those payouts. The semi-sharps will be lined up to push the action through the window. This is assuming ties push. If ties are losses he might last the season, with a big enough bankroll.

Someone doing this with Sunday or Mondays numbers and picking up the cards on Friday night or Saturday morning will get LOTS of BIZZ. Matter of fact they will get so much BIZZ if the Moves dureing the week are just "half" way right they will get "drownded" and will not last a month.

Important distinction. I was in a bar fight that started over this subject.

I dont know about America but theres Thousands of wannabe Bookies in Britain who all think its as easy as shelling peas. If He's silly enough to give you 3/1 on a double then force Him into giving you the pushes as well, hit Him with the line moves and then hopefully middle the second leg. Best o Luck, cant beat finding an adverturous bookie. :drink:
