Yeah the other one is actually quite useful. People post picks with actual research and transparent results. The promo thread tells you all the best boosts from the books (U.S. based)
Not even about supplementing your income. Not for me at least. I just like winning. Id rather be watching a game knowing if this happens Iāll make like $20 maybe or something small, than be watching a game hoping like 8 different things happen so I can win $100 or something. Thatās just me thoĀ
Nothing wrong with that either, I just meant that itās not always about taking the āsaferā bets. I make some straight bets to pay for the parlays too.
If youāre that confident in your straight bets financing your risky bets, wouldnāt you be up a bunch of money if you just eliminated the risky bets?
Who said Iām confident in my straight bets?! I lose some of them too. Iāve hit some decent parlays (although itās rare). I consider lottos above +10000 odds so if you hit one it pays for the next 100 lottos.
Thatās what this subreddit is for, no one cares to be logical. If I have a chance to turn $5 into $1000 because the Athletics actually want to win a game even though theyāre not good, Iāll take my chances.
Not everybody is here because they need money, for some it is just fun. No different then scratchers or lotto tickets, you know there is a miniscule chance but it's fun to try for some people.
I've been sports betting for over thirty years and still do occasional 5-8 leg parlays for fun. I don't "need" to build my bankroll with every bet and still do mostly straights or 2 leg max for majority of my bets but I like taking a little of the profit and having fun with it too.
But losing is? Idk to me even if itās only like $5,$10 bucks itās more fun watching a game and knowing I need like 1 thing to happen to win then needing like 5 dudes to go over on points just to win.Ā
If you knew how to consistently make bank from parlays you would not waste one second of your life on here. sure you made $17,000 on parlays you also lost $117,000.
I believe it, I've done really well off parlays, including over $17k on a Sunday this past NFL season. There is no mathematical proof that single bets are more profitable bc it is individually based. The guy horrible at parlays can be just as bad at single bets.
6 leggers are cute and all but they just don't do it for me anymore. These days it's those 12-bangers that keep me turgid into the wee hours hoping to see a comma in my balance
It is rigged... on those 6+ leggers, you always miss one by 0.5 yards. 1 point. 1 catch. 1 assist. They got the phone call from upstairs that our degen parlay was going to put them out 1.5k... š«
Because it's nice to let your nuts hang and post these when you win

Daily loto ticket 5 or 10 bucks on a 6 legger with some safe picks or patterns with the stats 400-500 dollars if ya hit. been doing this for 2 years and im still up in the grand scheme of things
I just put in a 13 leg on MLB 1 dollar to win 6k qith a 60%boost. I let my wife do the picks. Just gave her the names of the teams and pick one. Mind you she knows fuck all about sports.
Of course I was skeptical of some of the picks, but hey its a dollar and I wont miss it at all, but if for some reason I wake up the next morning and it hits. I aint telling her shyt. J/K @ the end of the day its just a dollar. 2 or 3 max for me when im putting real units down
I mean I almost hit a 17 leg parlay which costed me $2 and the payout was $777.69 and Juan Soto sold me by not being able to get a hit cause his forearm started acting up. Sooooo everything else I did hit for that parlay was a very safe bet and I researched the hell out of it. It was a lock but literally out of nowhere Soto left the game unexpectedly which sold my slip. Soooo yea parlays are more fun especially when they hit.
Usually every day I toss maybe 5 bucks on a 5 to 10 legger. I hit a 5 nice 5 legger the other day which ended a hot streak I was on...
Most of my bets are ML, spread or 2 leggers. But Damm nothing feels better than hitting a 5 leg or longer parlay.
Not just 6+ leg parlays that are the problem. It is generally hard to produce +EV plays from doing parlays without some sort of odds boost or when odds are really off. Very rarely would it be more effective to do parlays compared to straight bets.
I'd recommend reading through articles like these: https://www.legalsportsreport.com/155142/how-the-parlay-became-top-sports-betting-business-trend-2023/. A great strategy is never doing what the sportsbooks want you to do š¤£

On basketball, i place 2 5-leg parlays, usually put 10 to 20 on each. One pre-game and one live at half. And I been hitting like crazy during the semi and conference finals. Start of the playoffs im up 1k. Would have hit last night if Brown hit his free throws. But it's been working for me. So im gonna keep doing it. But i actually research and watch a lot of basketball, so it's not just a shot in the dark. Odds are usually anywhere from +1000 to +2000

Parlays are not a profitable bet overall. It doesn't really matter the number of legs though the more legs you add the more unlikely it is to happen.Ā

Uh. What š
Heās not wrong
Its on both pages.
I do 6+ legs cause I only bet .50 to 5 dollar bets lol.
Yep lol same Gotta hit a lotto once in a while
Why not take the money that ur gonna lose on the 6 leg parlays and establish a nice bankroll and do straights
Itās boring to do that, not everyone here does this to supplement their income. Iād rather have fun and make wild parlays.
Yea I look at it as paying 5/10 for entertainment. I really donāt spend money on anything fun on a dusky basis
Not even about supplementing your income. Not for me at least. I just like winning. Id rather be watching a game knowing if this happens Iāll make like $20 maybe or something small, than be watching a game hoping like 8 different things happen so I can win $100 or something. Thatās just me thoĀ

its all for entertainment, betting 10 to win 9 doesnt have much appeal
How dare you have fun? This is how weāre supposed to pay for groceries good sir.
I don't need to win everything in my life.
Homie I am up $17K on parlays only. Not everyone sucks like you.
Post proof homie.
Yeah parlays aināt bad if you know to put .
If you knew how to consistently make bank from parlays you would not waste one second of your life on here. sure you made $17,000 on parlays you also lost $117,000.
No. Want me to send you my statement from last year? I never bet more than $20
I'm in the same boat as you
I believe it, I've done really well off parlays, including over $17k on a Sunday this past NFL season. There is no mathematical proof that single bets are more profitable bc it is individually based. The guy horrible at parlays can be just as bad at single bets.
Why not let people do what they wanna do? Itās $5 or less, chill out
You're wasting your time. Everything is about instant gratification to this generation.
What annoys me is people acting like you can't lose your bankroll doing straights also.. betting straights doesn't guarantee you'll establish anything
But a six leg at 5 dollars is only gonna hit you like 80 bucks.. lol wouldnt call that a lotto hit
I see it more like scratch offs lol
I hear ya, but 5$ scratch off you could atlead win 500 or a mil lol
It's the "mad when it didn't hit" part that gets me. Claiming it's rigged etc etc
6 leggers are cute and all but they just don't do it for me anymore. These days it's those 12-bangers that keep me turgid into the wee hours hoping to see a comma in my balance

The same reason why we buy $1 scratchies at the liquor store hoping to win $5,000. Only to win $1 10% of the time

Nice!!!
I love the adrenaline when your waiting on 1-leg out of 6+ legs
Feels like a nut about to cum
Who cares how other people bet?

The problem is I donāt think some of these people are joking
Losing a āsafeā bet hurts even worse. Less reward for your risk.
You mean the guy that think NBA is rigged because he didnt hit his negative odds parley?

Whats a "really safe bet" ?
Nothing
Because only pussies do 5 sgp a real man does 6
Or 20 leggers
People go for parlays when they have less money to play with hoping to get a big payout, not everyone has enough money to do straight bets

parlays are fun. i dont get how people dont understand this
Hitting two 20 leggers two days in a row was something Iāll always remember . I know I wonāt ever do that again
It actually makes sense if youāre betting small amounts of money on it, because what do you have to lose. But anything over 50 bucks is an issue.
Money
Cause weāre dream chasers
Nobody is making you come to this sub buddy
Itās cancer
Because big number

Iāll take one or two of those legs and make my own parlay, they still never hitā¦

I use an app to track the performance of NBA and MLB players. From there, I can create a more selective parlay.
I will say that it is very frustrating when a big parlay comes down to something -300 or more and somehow is the leg that doesnt hit
