Invalid combination

[Tiny tim]

Can someone please explain to me the invalid combination rule for parlay action.

Example on Sunday Texas A&M was a 16 point favorite with the total being 55

Why could you not parlay these two?

At least at Bookmaker this was invalid.

the reasoning is something called correlated parlays. since the spread (16) divided by the total (55) is only 29%, i am a little surprised you couldnt play it, normally it is blocked when the percentage is 33% and above. if you want to read up on it, and review all of the plays that fell into the category last year, feel free to review the thread i did tracking every play.

Correlated Parlays - season long

Thanks for the replies! I think it is bullshit as well. I don't recall seeing this before last year either! Thanks again

most books have never accepted correlated parlays... double digit favorites hardly ever!!!
