Parlay of the week
- Thread starter Clark
- Start date
Parlays are great ways to guarantee losing money long-term. They are sucker bets, avoid them at all costs...unless you're getting some insane boost on top of it like 40% profit or greater.
+124 payout for a two leg just stinks.

It would be quite a bit better odds but that steelers defense stinks and I'm not sure Nebraska can score more than 17.
We'll see i guess.
If you're confident in both legs, why not take plus odds instead of negative on both by themselves?
I feel that way about SGP’s. I regularly do parlays with a collection of good odds (~300 or better usually) and have had good success. NFL seems to work well with 4 or 5 game parlays.
Here is the parlay im stoked about for this weekend
Baylor -5.5
KU/OSU 56.5o(took this one really early in the week)
AZ -4.5
Utah -6.5(alt. spread)
$50 pays $500

Can I have your house after the bank forecloses?
It's actually +141, I looked at it wrong.
So betting 100 wins 141 whereas betting 50 on each would win about 55 combined.
Three times the winnings was worth it to me but agree that generally speaking parlays are a bad idea. The juice on the Colts line was ridiculous otherwise I'd have bet the entire amount on that one
Always love when the "NEVER PARLAY" bros come out of the woodwork. I doubt anyone on this forum is sports betting as a full time. It's ok to throw out a couple parlays every now and then
I’ve hit more parlays in the last month than I have in my entire gambling “career”
Paid off a CC and paid for Xmas already
1) Honestly I don’t like any of these
2) not throwing shade here
3) I’ll follow… lol. I need to try something different cause I can’t hit a CFB bet to save my life (see # 1)
I'll usually throw $5 at a longer odds parlay on CFB Saturdays alongside my other plays. This weeks play:
SMU +14.5 (alt spread)
Baylor
Indiana/Maryland o44.5 (alt total)
Georgia Tech -2.5 (alt spread)
Wake Forest +14.5 (alt spread)
Cincinnati/Utah o48.5 (alt total)
33% profit boot on top brings the odds to +1692 for a possible payout of $89.61 on a $5 bet
What leg ruins it?

Trusting Dave Aranda and Baylor with your money is a choice.
All kidding aside, Utah’s defense is stout enough I wouldn’t be surprised if it hits the under.
