here i my personal opinion....i have never played them but if u have a 6 pt fav and a 6 pt dog and u want to pleaser them u will have to have the 6 pt fav win by 12 and the 6 pt dog win outright....OR


u could jus parlay them (the dog STRT UP +240 ....and the FAV -6)(so u only need fav to cover 6 pts not 12) and it pays about 4.8-1 so there isnt much value if u ask me unless u are doing it with all favs or with more than 2 teams

i didnt see that angle. i guess it would depend on what types of lines youre getting in order to get the maximum payout. im gonna have to do some # crunching.

so if im using the parlay calculator correctly on the homepage
by parlaying the saints money line at +220 and either the over or under at -110, its paying 5.1 to 1
not sure if this is correct but it seems in this situation it would be wiser to do this instead of a 2 team pleaser

that is correct....some dogs of 6-7 pts pay around 190+ - 240+ and would work out better parlaying.....especially since u dont have to hit the over or under at 6 pts worse agianst ur favor.

I think two -110 lines or even a small dog and a regular fav or over under would be much better odds to do the pleaser...u jus have to check the odds...but house will love it if u play pleaser when u coulda parlayed...that is prolly an added advantage to them.
