Can you go 3-0 Twice a week?

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

Doesnt matter if you go 0-3 every other day, if you can just hit 3-0 at least twice a week, this would be nice. Say you play $100 a day on a 3 team parlay. 7 days X $100 = $700. If you hit just one a week you break even. 2 would be a profit of $700. 3 would be a profit of $1400. This is only playing $100 a day. If you are a bigger bettor, you could really make some money. The best is multileague parlays. Say pick one from hoops, NFL and maybe bases. If you play bases however, you would need to stick to slight favs or dogs, however if you play a bigger fav, it doesnt hurt a parlay as much as the juice would in straight plays. I have been playing around with parlays lately and actually hitting at least one a week but I have been playing 4-5 teamers and for $200. I only hit one but they are all over $2k. My only problem so far that hasnt made this work is, i will lose an early game in the parlay and try to get it back with the late ones. You cant do that, you have to limit yourself to ONE a day. I guarentee everyone in here can hit at least 1 day a week where they go 3-0 blindfolded. Hell you could lose every other game all week and still break even. I am going to continue to tweek this, but I really think this could be a nice money management system. Simple, easy and little risk. Never though I would say any of that about parlays lol. Good luck

buddy--if you've been fading me lately, you should be hitting more than just 1 parlay a week.

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

LMAO, good stuff. But wouldnt it be nice to only win one day per week and break even?

i went 3-0 Monday and 2-0-1 on Tuesday

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

there you go will, +860 just like that on a measly $100 wager

This works great using a MLB dog, MLB RL, or in the winter a home NHL dog on each card to raise the payout. Been doing this for a long time. Its easy to get the payout into the 18-25 to 1 range.

i have personally always played parlays , i have figured it the same way , as long as you hit 4 a month you break even .. what i do to minimize the damage is to also bet a single play from my parlay and as long as i hit that play i break even or make a bit of money .

in football i like to do round robin 4 teamers , i make 4 parlays with only 3 of the 4 i picked on each , i usually do quite well , earlier this year i hit a 200 dollar 5 teamer that payed 10k . were a few favs in baseball to win by -1.5 and a few dogs payed nice .

Parlays take more juice than straight wagers. It is hidden in the odds that they pay. 13 for 5 on a two teamser when it should be 15 for 5. 6 for 1 on a 3 teamer when it should be 7 for 1. You will win more in the long run if you just play straight wagers.

However if you do straight bets and hit a cold streak and go 1-8. You are down twice as much as you would be doing parlays. The only time it works better straight is the norm, if you go 4-4 you get your money back instead of having to make sure 3 of the 4 were on the same parlay ticket.

Below is a quote that was taken from a "Money Management" article posted here at the Mall

"The only sure thing to send you to the poor house sooner is playing parlays or teasers. They are a -Bookies Dream-. You deserve to lose every cent you bet if you play them. “Square”, “Sucker”, and “Loser” are too kind to describe your mentality if you play parlays or teasers."

With all that said, I still play the odd "Mortgage Payer"

Good luck Cat and let's see how it turns out

I thought you had to hit a 3 TEAM PARLAY , twice a week, not a 2 TEAM PARLAY.
Should your record for the week not be 0-0?
Could you please post your plays so I can play along too.

Thanks in advance
and
Good Luck
