I've said in my previous answer that I never do Parlay but broke that one just now with my bet on UEFA Nation's League. I placed a few bucks on Portugal, France, and Netherlands winning (total odds at 5.4). Sorry can't take my vote back, there's always a first time for everything Grin

It doesn't matter because most importantly you do it comfortably even though it takes mentality and patience to bet the parlay, because you put the Netherlands in the parlay whereas it is the match for the next day. Honestly, I often bet on parlays but wouldn't be comfortable making parlay bets but one of the matches was not played on the same day. Parlay or single bet depends on the situation and chance, because I'm not sure a sports gambler is only betting single or parlay continuously, at least there must be something different.

In short, we do really have the option because you betting behavior will really vary into your interest and basing up with your analysis towards a certain team or a certain game
on where you do see that you do have the edge to win.

Ive been betting with parlays too and i agree to the point that this do really take some good control in mentally and emotional/patience aspect because if you do let
yourself lose your cool then making decisions will turn to bad.

It matters on where you do win neither you've been sticking with multi or single one but most of the time i do love to make single bets.

I make both of them. But I can say that single bets is a better choice if you don't play with little money. Because the risk of losing is getting lower. When you make multi bets with much money, it doesn't feel as comfortable as single bets. So, I think it depends on the amount you play with.

What's the logic? Why not that odds?

I'm curious with your suggestion because I myself is also betting at that low odds when I really see a great advantage from one team.
For me, odds is just a number but the real value is seen when you analyze a game, and you can decide on what odds you'll take.

because even there is a great advantage from one team and odd like 1.05 or 1.1 seems to be winning there is a chance of losing. and you will have to bet 20 or 10 similar bets just to return your initial bet.

Logically right, once you got busted with some shits loses in order to recover those loses, you need to win and risk much higher amount or it takes longer for you to completely cope up with certain loses.

But in some point, if you really paying attentions and you deal with good research, getting a huge percentages of winnings also value that small odd's bet, depends from how you trust your judgement.

I don't understand why some of you are so into single bets. If you place single bets and go all-in I suggest you rather play a single dice roll. At least if you lose you would know that you were playing provably fair.
Once, I lost big on a single bet made on a champions league game: I was so sure of one team winning (odds were 1.12 playing home) and they eventually lost. Of course, I lost too. That's when I started playing multi bets only: I play less than $5 and sometimes I end up winning nice amounts.
No more single bets for me.

Same scenario for me, having so much trust and being so much of a fanboy made me broke on sports betting. There is no right and wrong in single and multi betting, we all have our own preferences and our own way of profiting from gambling. Me multi bets works really well for me, ever since I experience losing an all in bet in a most favored team I switch to multi betting and spreading my money on different match ups and teams and yes same as you results are better with multi.

p.s. try to avoid low odds and bet and least 1.4-1.5.

Maybe because of the risk and the possible return. Betting in low odds teams will tend to make you bet more in order to win more and the risk it has is not worth it for its possible return. Betting in such low odds is as risky as betting at high odds, no matter what is the team advantage a sports or a game is a game anything may happen.

There is no science for purely luck based games, that's true, but sports betting isn't purely luck based.

Both true... I always believe that there's a way to be a successful sports bettor, but you can't be successful playing consistently on luck based games, unless you'll win millions and then you stop. End result, you are in profit.

Right, also consider the following. The analogue of sports multibetting is playing slots with high volatility: your chance of winning anything is less that on low volatility slots, but if you are lucky you can get some great multipliers. But in sports multibetting this is not the case. If you missed an important info on just one team or player, nothing can help you to win that multibet.

Overall I think multibetting makes sports betting more like purely luck based gambling, only your chances of winning big are lower than on slots or dice. I was winning countless of times with 990x multiplier on dice, but we all know that it's impossible to win a sports multibet with those odds.

Single bets are much preferred but if you do tend to have a small amount of bet and reaching high multiplier then parlay would be the best.

Single bets are the best form of bets because, your almost sure of your predictions before actually staking on a bet. It offers more chances for a win than the multi bets, though the outcome in monetary terms might be low depending on your stake but then, the chances are more. Why is this so, you may ask?
This is because, predicting a lot of matches correctly takes only luck and hope w far before luck runs out of you as at least one or two big teams have got to loose every match days. Compiling bets brings the possibility of adding one or two of these supposed sure bets to the multiple.

Performance is greatly affected of your bankroll while playing single vs parlay.
I prefer single as it has less risk.

Your research can significantly improve your chances of winning, although it can't, of course, guarantee a positive outcome. But then again, can science do that? I mean, not for betting, but for some major things like climate, health, space travelling? Not always, that's for sure.

That's what I always thought, it only does improve our chances of winning but we have to be realistic that it does not guarantee a win.
More information you know, the more it increase your chances as you can use that information to analyze which team will win in the game, but then, there are things that would happen that is unlikely to happen, so it's possibility to consider.

The concern is when you're doing that you don't really choose the other matches you're betting on. It means you'll bet on them while you wouldn't do it for a single bet, then you're more likely to lose your bets on those matchs and finally to lose your parlay.

Never thought of it that way, but I think it is very close to what's really happening. Indeed, when betting on several events simultaneously I don't have the time for a proper research on each of them. I mean, I definitely spend much less time(if any) on some of my picks, compared to when making a single bet.

Good point! +1

But that's not necessarily the case. For instance, if a person is betting on EPL matches, this person probably has good knowledge of the teams and what they're capable of. So in that case, if one already did research about Manchester City, one can apply this knowledge to multiple matches where they're playing, and a multi bet might make more sense here.

There are things that you can't research in advance about. However much you know about Manchester City, it's not gonna help you in making the right prediction about their performance in a particular game, if you missed the latest news about an injury or disqualification.

Man, betting is not like science. The amount of effort you put into researching what the possible outcome of an event could be will never be enough. There are always unexpected circumstances that will blow away your conclusions. Really anything can happen that you couldn't foresee. And, also, how much money do you bet @1.90? Again, better to flip a coin.

This is a tricky one. It's really an option based on you finance a d need capacity. Your meant to choose or favour one after putting this two options in consideration. Single bets always seems like the most sure or have a high probability of a win as, the best teams are considered in placing your bets but, you tend to benefit more should you put a higher stake and that's where the risk lies. As much as you tend to win huge, your loss as well could be ground breaking based on your stake. It's always an option either taken out of despiration based on an individual's need or by someone with a high staking power and the capacity to do so.

Accumulation bets on the other hand often becomes an option for very skeptical users and then, to increase their winnings mainly not by staking huge but increased bets. It's an income conservation strategy. I go with this often so, it's most preferable to me as loss is not greatly felt.

I would be rather curious to know how you guys bet and how you make use of singles. Do you really believe in minimizing risk when placing single bets? It's like going all-in, you basically flip a coin, either you win or you lose. If you like that, keep on playing. That's not for me. Wink

The risk is always there, you are right on that, but after following this thread for some time, I've come to the conclusion that multi bets are riskier than single ones. And it's not like, the more risky your bet, the higher multiplier you get, no. You are more likely to win a single bet with 1.9 odds, than a multi bet of 3 that gives you the same outcome odds. And the main reason for that is that you can't research as thoroughly about 3 events, as you can about 1 event.

Every pick we make is coming from our conclusion based on our research, there's no guarantee to win but at least we always try our best to win. Every gambler has our own style of analyzing the game, but the only thing that would measure our success is our gambling record, if we boost we are a winner, we should back that up with proof.

I think most of us here on the forum are trying to minimise their own risk while still trying to profit of a bet. Single bets are best for such bets in my opinion. You know exactly what kind of risk you take even though the payoffs might be lower than with multi bets. As someone who gamble and bets regularly you should never go all-in on one bet in my opinion. The risk of losing is just too high. It's best to spread out your bets across multiple different bets.

The odds on a single bet might be more tricky than one would expect, so you don't exactly know the risk. You know it better than with multi bets, I guess, but have a look at this discussion about the same bet having different odds on the same website.

I've preferred a single bet, multiple bets won't give you assurance to win but most likely, it adds more losses to our part. T

Both of this betting style does not add assurance, you can also lose even taking the lowest odds. As a gambler, make a betting style that you feel you are comfortable and that it would result you to a better bankroll management so you'll not be frustrated once you loss your discipline.
