    William Hill
    Did anyone know that William Hill app will allow a bet on the Puck Line parlayed to the Total.? Stations, my other app will not allow and never has.

    I found out yesterday and caught NJ and Knights -1 1/2 and plus money with the totals.

    I do not know if they had this for baseball. As I've said, I just discovered it yesterday.

    I'm not a hockey play, but I do play on Wm Hill regularily. I like this book, but let me tell you with CONFIDENCE. They are not consistent.. During the baseball playoffs and at various times off and on during the season, they would not offer alt run lines. You never knew when this was going to happen. Frustrating if you hadd a plan to play that way on a given game.
    I should add this is Wm Hill Virginia.

        This morning about 7 a.m., just for the heck of it I went in to see if it would allow again. It allowed the Buffalo game but not the New Jersey game. After I got back home about 9 a.m. it allowed for both games.

        So there may be a time issue ..

          Sometimes W.H. Has a better number, sometimes not. There may have been a “time of day” issue with it. Hockey is usually at night where Bases has those early games quite often.

            They’re shorting you on the payout. Sometimes a lot, sometimes not a lot. eg Vancouver PL for tomorrow is -250 and total is even money. Should be +180 at those odds, but parlay those two and it’s only 140.

              How do you figure 180. It's actually +120 or technically 120.2

                -250 (1.40) x +100 (2.00) = +170 (2.80)

                I'd guess they have a formula to adjust odds based on the amount of correlation. Like with any other same game parlay.

                That would also explain why some games it's not allowed at all, or availability changes as odds move.

                  (100 ÷ 250 + 1) x (100 ÷ 100 +1)

                  What are you doing to get 120????

                    I stand corrected. My apology. The parlay does pay back 280 on 100 dollar bet. That's what William Hill pays. The full amount. All sports books offer very little in that they are now (for a few years now) not only making you give up points in football, but you are laying sometimes -120 also.

                    They are not giving anything to the gambler. If William Hill offers a play which other sports books do not, it seems like an advantage to me.

                    William Hill also offers a teaser where you can bet the team and the total. Stations does not. I am not involved anywhere else.

                    Sorry about my misunderstanding of the number. You are correct. If they do short the player on some games, it the price we pay I guess. But not always. I never bet unders and would never bet any team at -250.

                        Parlay odds are easier when you are used to thinking in decimal. And it wasn't just you
