guess who's back
doing parlays is really bad , everytime you make a parlay bet you are just giving your bookie extra money ( it's a fact that bookies adore people that bet parlays )
I don't know a single professional gambler who is making his profits from betting parlays , unless a couple of doubles or trebles that involve underdogs occasionally

also it parlay rules aren't the same in all the bookies , so bookies add more juice to selections when you decide to combine them in a parlay
it's worth researching it through google and reddit since you won't get a true answer here ( majority here aren't even serious bettors )

but the short answer : no they suck and in the long run even if you are doing good selections you would be doing better betting singles and reducing the variance as well

After I saw someone win more than 50 BTC on NitrogenSports (with just a 0.01 BTC bet)
Bookie's worst nightmare ever LOL

FTFY.  Grin
I have actually witnessed many of those small bettors at nitrogensports making huge returns on their bets as it also needs some great knowledge of the game you are betting on as well as full confidence that whatever you are expecting from your bet will be realized and all games will be met to the goals we want it to. That's how legendary gamblers are made - they can call parlay a savior when they need extra odds for bets they are very sure about their wins.

I am pretty sure sportsbook already anticipated that possibility, so they are not surprised anymore, nitrogen is a big sportsbook, I'm sure they can pay that since they are earning a lot of money from big bettors who even trust them betting with over 1 BTC in a single bet.

We will really have good time being active in the chat as bettors would share winning picks with big amount, and we can also follow bets, I also see before some people sharing their parlay bets.

A friend make a good profit from parlay strategy but i think you should try and see how much profit can make on a month from it and after to continue do it if you make profit and if not try change something.

Sad to say i do really have bad experience with parlays specially when you are already 1 game away to win such bet and then loss the last one which is indeed a frustrating thing.
I dont make or consider this as a strategy to bet always on parlays because not all of them would suit out on my knowledge.If you win one time on parlays,dont think that
you would win anytime because you will just mess up your bankroll.

Nope, I don't. I'd like to stick with my betting style as is betting with every single game.

It's attracting but I know there's an effect that I won't be able to take if ever I lose with that strategy. I've heard of it before and I've heard stories that has good and bad experiences but I chose not to get along if I know that I can't take the risk.

So my question, do you bet on parlay and why?,

I only play parlay if I know all my bets will win, otherwise, it is better to place single bets. Parlay is attractive because the reward is bigger compared to having single bets but the risk is relatively higher. In some cases though, I am confident on my bets that it will be a waste of opportunity if I do not pack them as parlay. To manage the risk, I only parlay up to 4 bets max.

Parlay is good as you'll risk only a small amount of money with a possible to win big.
This is also my thought on parlay. Since it is much risky, but it is much better to bet a small amount since the odds is quite tricky. It's like a leveraged trading where you can bet with high returns but the risk is really big.

Even you have big odds/small odds on Parlay, there's a still possibility of losing because it's like you are just increasing your risk by doing multiple games to bet.

Agree, when you do parlay your bets become bigger and bigger every bet and when the bet becomes bigger the risk will be relatively big as well so you if you aren't that lucky there is a possibility that you will lose everything. In my opinion parlay is only good within first few games but not long term gambling.
In most cases it is advisable to place a parlay bet with a small amount of money ie always play with the amount of money you can afford to lose while the odd is larger or big, placing parlay with a big amount of money amount to a higher risk however the chances of winning is very slim although some players can very lucky but its very rare to have such a wining consistently.

I've won some good amount with paylay in sports betting in the past but when I start doing it in a regular basis, it seems my overall return is negative.
So my question, do you bet on parlay and why?, and what's the biggest odds you've won so far?

NO.
This is not a good strategy.

I tried to explain why. Feel free to ask more questions!

Quote
Don't play too much events in one toto bet!
Yes! don't make "a long long list" in only one bet to pump up the prize.
@100 x 2 btc = 200 btc... with 1000 bet 0f 1.10......

The @100 is not only a Cheesy happy number, "i can become rich" but it's a probability number, that your events will be set winning!

Trust me Cheesy bookmaker want that you try to catch this high prize, because more match together implies more difficult (and I think with some numbers it's really impossible win).
A good friend (in the real life) use to bet from 6-10 bet every time like handicap, over 2,5 etc etc....

Him can get really the 90% of single match, but for only 1 every time him loose!
Why?!? Because if you play 6-10 single with strong quotes more @1.70 so far, you can protect your self for the "lucky bad of the last bet". There is also a psychological correlation, to see the prize get up, the vast majority of better, try to place the "surprise" or decide deliberately to point to more bet.

I'd rather stick with single bets, bets that I know and am confident about. I see parlay as risky and I'd rather get a few small wins every now and then rather than attempting a single big win.
It's also a good idea doing that if you ain't sure about playing this type of gambling it's better to have small profits than trying to make it much higher but the risk also adding up and with one wrong choose your entire bets will ruined.

Play where you think you have a much better chances of winning stop being greedy if you're not comfortable with the games that you are betting in.

I tried betting on parlay before, and since I usually go for a higher odds on parlay I usually ended on losing the bet. The betting on parlay is much exciting rather than single betting but the chance to make a profit is too low.

With parlay or not, I think we have a chance of losing the money because we don't know how good our luck. I think it depends on how much money we use on parlay and if we can use big money, we can get big money too if we win. But that is not guaranteed to use big money can make we win because the luck factor will be the important thing that we must have in the gambling games.

Parlay is a good betting strategy if you know about all the games you place on the bet, it is also good strategy to win big amount with just small bet amount. I do like to place parlay bet but not regularly, I prefer to bet on single bet only. My suggestion is that, you should not place too many games on a parlay bet, try to place 2-3 games only but with good odds but obviously you need to be so sure about the game you are taking. What I usually do when I place a parlay bet is that I also bet on every game on the parlay bet with bigger amount of bet. Indeed it is risky but it is my strategy to cover my parlay bet just in case the parlay is lose because of 1 game only.

It is always interesting to make a bet, but in some cases, if you are sure that you are right, then finding an opponent of your opinion is very difficult.  In real life, such situations are often, but not always ends successfully.

I'm doing parlay in sports betting but I always bet on high odds just to make a higher profit because it makes me more profit than parlay in low odds that mostly win on the fights or games.

So if you want to make more profit try to bet on high odds it mostly lost but since your strategy is to parlay once you win you can gain more profit if you are doing x2 in every loses.

I call this accumulator or combo bet, but name is not so important if we know what is it exactly about. In this type of betting chances are going down for player with each new event, but player need to pick something that is easier to guess then only who will win, or to pick lower odds with high stake.

I always try to reduce the risk of loss by betting on max 3 games, and always pick in a way 2+1, means that 2 games are today, and 1 is the following day.  By such playing I always have chance to cover my bank by betting on opposite outcome (in case I win first two games). For example if I play Real Madrid - Getafe 1, I can bet on x2 which always have big odds and I am in win-win situation.

But this is way of betting which requires slightly higher amounts of money, lower odds and big stakes with max 3 events combined can be good strategy on long run.

That could really happen, but I only see that kind of bet slip shared in Nitrogensports, not in sportsbet as they don't have a chat room.
I didn’t say it isn’t doable but it could be done in my opinion. It’s just that you either have knowledge on the sport you are betting with or you are just really a lucky guy.

I don’t really remember the site that bet occurred on but I know that it is a gambling site (obviously). Multiplying your money by that requires luck in my opinion.

I think it's more on luck, let' say you have 10 legged parlay in your bet with a fix odds of 1.90, that would result to 613.106 multiplier, and betting 0.01 btc will turn you money into 6.1310 BTC. That's a huge winning right, but to win all 10 is very hard as even if you are en expert, no way you can be perfect.
