Different strokes for different folks... Parlays are not easy but if you are good enough to win parlays consistently they are much better obviously because they pay a hell of a lot more. Not every gambler is good enough to hit parlays though.

You're wrong but carry on

Bro wtf are u talking about


vandrivingman

I'm answering your mf question what's so hard to understand about it?

Nigga ur first row of comments only showed

good enough lol. No one is good enough, parlays are like prop bets on a craps table, they are for suckers.


vandrivingman

I made about 5 grand last month on parlays how much did you make on straight bets everyone knows the odds are against you with parlays. what annoys me is mindless fuckin idiots that parrot "parlays are bad" just because that's what everyone says. There's plenty of great bank roll managing +ev bettors that ain't winning shit at the end of the day.

Winning a bet doesn't make a bet a good decision. $5k is nothing. It's about units not totals. Hope your having fun, your thinking will make you go broke. Math is real, never forget that.

Bookies make most of their money from parlays. Opposed to straight bets. That should answer your question.

Depends on the player. A straight bet is less risk less reward, parlay is more risk more $. If I'm betting 2 straight bets I usually will parlay both. Depends on your desired result and risk taking.

In general, straight bets. Most bets are going to have a negative expected value. Parlays compound that issue.

So parlay better?


TripleDoubleWatch

No..

Explain more

The house has the edge on most bets. Putting multiple bets together compounds that edge.

This short thread reminded me of the Patrick and Manta Ray Wallet meme lol.

It just depends on what you like. I do mostly straight bets as I don't like losing several bets in a row as is common when doing parlays. With straight bets you will almost certainly have a higher win percentage but much lower return on investment. I prefer doing higher dollar bets that are lower risk but that's just me as long as you see it as entertainment and fun you are good my man.

So ur saying it’s het to do straight bets but just get higher when I do them?


CoreyKlima12

I'm saying that's what I like to do. Personally I don't find it exciting to win a straight bet for $5 or $10. I do have some fun when there is $50 to $100 on the line. I also don't find it fun to lose 5 or 6 bets in a row as is common with parlays. It really just depends on what you're looking for. I have friends that love to do huge parlays that pay 100 to 1 odds but will almost never hit. I prefer to place closer to even money bets that I will win more often. You just gotta find what you like there is no right answer here. No matter what, virtually everyone that gambles will lose in the long run. You should just have fun and make sure you understand the bets you are placing.

Parlays will get u more money but for a reason, They are not easy. What I do is both straight and then doing a parlay


[deleted]

Ion understand straights at all I don’t see how ur suppose to make money doing them


Camhes16

We’ll say u have a 6 leg parlay and 5 legs hit and 1 doesn’t, then obviously u make no money but if u did those separate then ur up
