First of all, you're risking $110 on the if-bet, and only $100 on the parlay. So we'll assume you meant you wanted to risk $110 on the parlay as well. A true parlay payout should be more around 2.6446 to 1 if the book isn't cheating you.
$110*2.6446=$290.91 payout with parlay
In your if-bet example, $210 would pay $190.91, plus the $100 (not $110) from the first game gives you $290.91.
If-bet payout: $290.91
Parlay payout: $290.91
$110*2.6446=$290.91 payout with parlay
In your if-bet example, $210 would pay $190.91, plus the $100 (not $110) from the first game gives you $290.91.
If-bet payout: $290.91
Parlay payout: $290.91
Related to the "IF-BET" type of wagering, I believe you have to put down SAME amount of wager for BOTH if-bets, right? That'd also throw a wrench in Bet-It-All's line of thinking. I know I have wondered/attempted this before, but this was with Bodog (so Bodog, at least, required you to put the same "risk amount" for both if-bets).

Another example is where I see people play 4 team parlays at the ridiculous 10-1 odds. Even where at most books the minimum in a 3 teamer is 6-1 odds, 10 pays 60, you get 70, why not take the 70 and make a virtual wager (like at bj or heritage) on the 4th team, 70 to win 63.63, gets you 133.63, a whopping 23.63 more (therefore being 12.36 to 1) then the 10-1 odds.
BetMania gives the best parlay odds I have seen:
2 teams 2.69 to 1
3 teams 6.28 to 1
4 teams 12.70 to 1 (etc.)
Of course best way to make money is straights!
