Parley vs straight bets. No mathematical difference.

    As for many of you here the idea of betting parlays was not into my mind till I knew a bettor making close to 100 grands per year playing only parlays. After that I simulated a large sample to learn that there was not difference. Yes you might lose even winning 80% of the picks but you also might win losing 80% of them.

      I spend 30 hours a week handicapping to bet 10 games, betting 100 dollars per bet. I win 6 games and lose 4. At the end of the week I made $160. If I work 30 hours overtime I would be making $1000 dollars.
      Now you say, ok bet 1000, then I lose 8 times and I'm done.
      Sorry guys, I play this as I play the lottery. I'm not here to make 20 thousand dollar in 20 years. If you want 20 thousand dolars go back to school, get a degree and increase your salary 20 grands per year. Money management? Yes, I do it, How? I never run out of money because I play just a little to win a lot.

          I will gladly take your action on $500 6 team parlays

            There would be a difference if your stake (risk) amounts were optimal.

            If you simply use a risk amount x on straight bets and risk amount y (which might or might not be the same as x) for parlays then you can run simulations and prove/show whatever you want them to.

                Hahahaha. That was one regular play. I am 7-0 in my last 7 NBA plays, my UFC plays are all amazing... Unlike you ... You're a shitty person and an even worse capper. You are a joke on this site. Brock Landers posted more winners then you. You lose picks then call people fat and say their life sucks... And you call me uncreative. Face the facts pal, you are a failed wannabe tout.
