as long as it is not 10 consecutive wins, then it's an obvious pick that winning 10 times on 1.90 would be easier than parlay with x10 total odds. otherwise, there is not much difference between the two options you gave if the "winning 10 times on 1.90" needs to be consecutive.

Personally, I'd choose the 1.90 odds if I have a good amount of bankroll, but if I want to fast-track the result with a smaller bankroll, I take a risk on a parlay even knowing the chance is slim.
1.90 Odd is not a safe odd. You cannot win regular bets by betting on these odds. However, no win can be guaranteed at any odds in gambling. There are also many records of losing bets at 1.01 odds. I don't have much experience in betting for sports but I think if someone is betting for sports with the intention of winning big money then he should bet small amount of money on big odds so that if it wins then get a good profit.  Because I think it is foolish to bet large amount on small odds and risk large amount for small profit.

We cant really be able to deny that if you do have that less bankroll amount or something that you could bet then having that parlay would be giving out that kind of nasty win
once you do able to hit up that 10x win even if the amount bet was just that small then you could make it big which is unlike when you do bet on one time bets on every game
with having that 1.90 odds. For me then i would be sticking on betting on single games with 1.90 odds and im not really that too confident when betting up on parlays specially on 10x
games on which based up on experience then i do usually bust up on 4-5 games and thats why if ever i would go parlay then i would really be only sticking into these ranges.

It’s obvious that winning 10 times straight bet on 1.9 odds is more difficult since every bet you will encounter 1.9 odds which is harder to win 10 straight games.

Parlay odds increase exponentially per leg which means that x10 odds is just a product of multiple below 1.9 odds leg or just 4 matches with 1.9 odds that can give already x13 odds.

Real sports bettor can understand the math behind on this question. Some people might answer parlay here if they didn’t knew what’s the real odds involved on the 10 straight bet.

To win 10 times with a 1.90x multiplier in a row? I think it's hard to achieve. Personally, I have never won more than 5 or 6 times in a row with such odds. Both alternatives mentioned on this thread aren't easy tasks. That is why gamblers apply strategies such as Martingale, so they can survive in the game for longer through raising the bet size on the losses.

I guess there isn't a better or worst decision. You have to be lucky, and that is all. For some gamblers the parlay with x10 total odds will seem the right choice, while for others winning 10 times on 1.90x will be more profitable. But it just means they were more lucky when trying one of the methods above on a determined day, what doesn't mean every other gamblers trying the same will be lucky as well.

It seems to me that winning in both cases will be equally difficult. In the 1st case, the difficulty is in guessing once and, if you make a mistake, you immediately lose a large bet. In the 2nd case, the difficulty is in completing a "hot streak", for which need as many as 10 wins.

Also, the final win for a bet with a coefficient of 1.9 will be less than with a bet of x10.

I am sure that there will be supporters of both solutions, but only mathematical calculations can tell us the correct answer (which of the options will have a better chance of being realized). Is there anyone here who can do them?

Honestly, I prefer parlay betting but the odds are not more than x5. Sometimes the results are not good but this always costs $5 - $10 from what I have observed in parlay betting the winnings are probably 50/50 in contrast to choosing a single bet.
The winning in parley is not 50:50 just like that. It depends on the matches that you selected. Parley starts from selecting two matches. As the matches are getting more, the chance to win the bet is reducing. Also it depends on the teams that you selected. Going for weaker teams will reduce the chance.

In single bets let's say choosing odds of 1.90 then the winnings can be above 70% if I choose in 10 times, this is more consistent than parlay bets sometimes I myself do both, Parlay and single bets.

So it is possible to win easily by choosing odds 1.90 rather than 10x in parlay betting.
It is not easy to win if you choose 1.9 odd but you may win or lose. 1.9 odd chances of winning is less than 50:50. It should be around 40:60 or 30:70. Although, it also depend on the team that you selected but those that set the odds make use of expected value so there might not be a mistake from them. Do not forget that the team the strong team is playing with is also strong for that odd. The stronger club might draw or might lose should also be considered.

Seeing the comparison between parlays and single bets, the obvious answer is that parlays are the hardest but also the most exciting type of bet. I'm a gambler who loves parlays. With a small amount, you can enjoy betting on parlays, and you can even go for a large multiple, like x100, with a dollar or less. It’s not very stressful if I lose my bet; what’s stressful is seeing your combinations winning, only to have one selection lose in the end. It’s like betting on a lottery with 6 digits and hitting only 5. Lotto is even better because hitting 5 still gives you a small win.

Between the two, I’d choose a single bet, of course, slowly but in a very consistent manner. However, the question is whether I’m consistent or not because, based on my honest evaluation of my gambling skills, I’m not. Cheesy

@10.00 and @19.00, it's already clear winning 10 times on 1.90 is harder than one parlay with @10.00 odds.

@1.90 is a 50/50 match, it's hard to win streak for ten times, it's like trying to win 2 times in parlay bets.

In parlay you can bet many favorites till it reach @10.00 odds, don't bet on few underdog.

If you're asking in the same odds, then either of them are same, same hard to win.

My luck is not good with parlay vet because I have never won all matches on my slip, sometimes the last game do cut my slip and I decided to stop be tying on parlay matches and it was a good decision because I am no longer eager to know the result on the matches that have not been played and the stress involved.

I will prefer the single bet of 1.90 odds, and forget an out parlay because the chance of me winning my games is higher than on parlay. However, I love seeing my bet results instantly and not waiting for long.

First, I think we have to know the real purpose of parlay, AFAIK, parlay is a mechanism where we can multiply our winnings (odds) even in matches at the same or close to each other. So, making a comparison like you did doesn't make sense to me, OFC I would choose to win 10 times even if it got @1,5. Parlay has a bigger risk, when you lose in 1 match, then the other efforts you have made will be in vain, here we're not talking about bankroll, because that's another thing in this comparison case.
There’s a comparison if we look at it because the point is we would end up with the same winnings, whether through a parlay or a single bet. I’m just curious to know how people think, whether they prefer a shortcut or they think like a pro, winning slowly but in a more consistent and sure manner, as discussed here.

Now I ask you, can I place a bet on the Belgium - Israel, Wales - Turkey, Iceland - Montenegro and Slovenia - Austria matches in the UEFA Nations League later with a bet of $10 per match (I only have $10)? OFC not, and that's what parlays exist for.
Considering you only have $10, decide how to manage your bet. With this illustration, you don’t bet on both options—just choose one based on what you believe would be more profitable for you.

10x odd is very risky but it is worth trying at times. If I have $25 to bet with, I can decide not to use it for one or two single matches but on parley of up to or more than 10x odd. This can make me reduce the money that I want to use to bet from $25 to $5. The probability of winning the bet will reduce but it is fun at times to go for such higher odds with low amount of money.

Most of my bet is not high odds bet but it can still be a parley which the total odd may not be more than 2x on two or three matches. I prefer it than 10x parley bet.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Parlay can increase your odds but yes because the risk will be much greater especially if you choose 5 matches in one parlay it will be difficult even if the favorites are all chosen.
If you want to be consistent then choose single bets, but with odds @ 1.90 it will not be quite possible for you, but by regularly betting on bets you will have a decent win.
So far I prefer parlay even though I know the risk is high, but the adrenaline is quite big in parlay betting.

Consistently matters alot, I would go for 1.90 odds and wins consistently instead of parlay or multiple bets. If there chances of winning parlay is 30% then the chance of single bet of 1.90 odds is could be 60% hence I go for single bet of 1.90 odds and stake with huge amount which I can afford risk because most times even 1.90 odds can be so disappointing because we felt is common to win but very stressful as well. But however, it's more better than multiple bets.

I'll take the one-time deal too and not the parlay.

Sometimes parlays are so stressful that you will have to watch all the games or be updated on the live scores. That will make a gambler anxious if he will win his parlay ticket or not especially if the opposing team is taking the lead. This could also lead to a gambler feeling stressed and pushing the cash-out button the moment he feels that he might lose it all.

IMO, I'd rather get a high multiplier like x5 to x10 in a parlay than make a long one for just x1.90 in total. It's not about the easier-to-hit but avoiding the pressure of all the games in the brink of losing.
