no idea what you mean man... but this is the standard parlay system I know of if you want near 70%+ (and you are not wanting to make your own plays - not recommended as the advantage is always to bet dog ml's/parlays on your own/etc)

Use .5 style/type lines only (with .5 being the key due to no pushes wanted (i.e. -1.5/-2.5/+8.5)) - in other words use all half lines no whole ones.

Team A vs Team B / Team C vs Team D / Team E vs Team F

Parlay 3 way - 8 of them (every possible combo)

ACE - ADE- ACF- ADF -BCE -BDE- BCF - BDF

GL :)

Murph, so are you saying it wouldn't matter which dogs you take just as long they are dogs with a pointspread that's got the .5 in it?

they dont have to be dogs.. if team A is playing Team B.. one side must be -3.5 and other side +3.5 .. just saying do not use "whole" point spreads.. use halfs like 3.5 / 4.5 etc because a push will ruin your expected 70% + return.

difficult to beat 70%
true.. but the recommended way of using freeplay is to use it (in bits if you dont have a big play) or use it as you would be making a bet anyway.. I personally recommend the dog backup bet.

Whenever you feel a dog has a fair chance (even if small) to win a game outright..use your freeplay for a ml wager and make your real wager on the spread.. or save the fp for baseball and you can get plenty of dog ml's as normal bets which means you do not have to come anywhere near 70% to capitalize on the fp.

For instance.. using a dog ml average of +150 (typical 3 pt spread in most sports or a small road dog in baseball).. if you go 5-5 (out of 10 plays)you would be 75% return.. this gives you the ability to actually pick your spots and have the chance at 8 or so wins for a greater than 120% conversion

you can also do similar with 2 or 3 team parlays.. if you have the plays in action anyway and are a parlay bettor.. save your fp to bet those as then you are risking quite less to achieve the same goal as a fp's value is 70% but the return still pays the same dollar per dollar

as explained below:

If you risk 1000$ total in cash on $100-3 team parlay 10 times and go 2-8 on them.. 8 times you lose $100.. 2 times you make 6 to 1 ..
so $1000 (10 parlays of 100) - $800 (8 losses) +$1200 (2X$600 (6 to 1)) = $1400 so $400 profit.

If you do that same thing with $1000 fp and go 2-8.. You lose 800fp (which in "70% conversion method is really only $560).. then you still win 6 to 1 on the 3 team parlays (2 of them).. = $1200 - $560 - $200(fp used to make the 2 parlays that won (you do not get to keep this)) = $440 Profit.

See the Parlay Conversion of 60% is not the best method based on both examples.. but if you want a "risk free" way of getting 70%+.. go for it

I am saying to NOT bet the inquired about conversion method bud.. to play your own way and its very easy to beat out the conversion of 70% IMO based on both my examples of either you playing 3 team parlays OR you playing ML dogs of +150 or higher.

murph, why do u keep saying 70% profit?

its not profit.. but the 3 team parlay pays 6 to 1.. your right I meant at least 60%.. my bad.

I will change those to not confuse anyone.. when I was considering 70%.. I was thinking of taking some +100 sides or ml dogs in baseball.. etc

not 70%, not 60%, 75%

if you have $800....you play 8 $100 parlays...you win $600

$600 cash from $800 = 75%


and I don't know if I would even try to mess with doing this on staggered vig like baseball or +100/-120...the #s will get really off

were do you get the 2-8 on 3 team parlays as a wheel is only 8 so you could go 1-9 or 0-10 if not wheeling it

Actually, it is 700/800 since you get your wager back (100) plus the 600...87.5%

hahaha....sorry....i always thought of the parlay wheel as getting 75% back on the FP amount....when I saw 70% i thought there was something you knew I didnt....when I saw 60% i got confused myself.

some books dont allow it so i would be cautious....if you are clearing $500 in FP they probably don't care....but when you win a contest (not sure books ever do this anymore) and you win thousands and try to parlay wheel it they might review it and say not allowed.
