You are probably wrong here. Parlay is an example of high risk-high reward betting type.
Probably he is only referring to the amount at risk, when you risk at least 1 to 2 usd, that's a small amount that you can afford to lose anytime, so that's low risk for him but with big multiplier in parlay, if he is lucky, he can get a good return. In my case, I can do 4 usd per parlay with at leasts x100 payout, I find my chance is very low but the amount at risk is not that high, so I am just doing it for fun, I mean pure fun.
Most probably, yes. I realized that.
Small bet, Big winning is my type of game.
That is not my game most of the time, because there are more considerations than just the bet and the winning prize. I mean, are we not to consider the winning chance? At times, I take high risks. But most of the time my bets would go to 1:60 or 1:85 kind of odds.
Sure, parlay betting is more fun and thrilling than just the normal single match betting, but the low chance of winning is the main reason why I am not into it, unless I am very confident of all the teams in the matches.
I often do that parlay with similar odds and due that behavior... I think those $2,000 winning back to nothing as I've lost more since then
.
I don't do bet huge for ridiculous low odds, I prefer small bet amount with huge multiplier... the winning feeling is unbelievable compared to how hurt your $2,000 bet lost @1.02 odds , I've experienced almost everything.
In the long run, parlay betting is probably going to give you a net loss than a net winning. But I agree that it is much worth it and fun compared to a one time loss especially with an extremely low odds. I hate to be defeated with an upset also. That is like an easy money turned into stone.
