Bookmaker adds Consolation Parlays

[Dr. Jack]

How does a Consolation Parlay work?

It's simple. A Bookmaker.com/?cmpid=1541" target="_blank">Consolation Parlay Card is a fixed odds parlay card in which the player does not need to win all his selections to win money. Play an 8 team parlay and if 6, 7, or 8 teams win, you win. Play a 4 team parlay, if 3 or 4 teams win, you win.
Even if you don't win all the games in your parlay, you can still win!

Parlay All teams WIN 1 Team Lose 2 Teams Lose 3 Teams Lose
4 Teams 6 to 1 1 to 1 -- --
5 Teams 12 to 1 2.5 to 1 -- --
6 Teams 24 to 1 4.5 to 1 -- --
7 Teams 45 to 1 5 to 1 1 to 1 --
8 Teams 75 to 1 6 to 1 2 to 1 --
9 Teams 150 to 1 14 to 1 3 to 1 --
10 Teams 350 to 1 19 to 1 4 to 1 1 to 1

Bob - I think it's only parlay cards. You used to have to win 8 of 8 to win or whatever, now you get consolation pay out for 7 of 8 or 6 of 8, etc

Hopefully BetJam and some other sites will add this as well!

i just read the email from Bookmaker, i think the house edge goes up tremenously if a person goes with this option. I don't parlay often, but i think you could wagonwheel several combinations and have much better odds
than consolation parlay.

This sounds like fun. Thanks for the update Dr. Jack .
