Parlays! Are they too risky? Do you ever do them with a positive result?

Parlay is a little bit more risky than normal individual bet, but we have chance to win more big amount with just stake of very low amount, normally I like to place bet individually on each match but sometimes I took risk with combination of more than 3 matches when I feel like crazy, I'd won very few on parlays as it is really risky.   

It's really hard to win on parlay, because we have many match on that bet. I only have win 1-2 parlay on 10-20 parlays and sometimes it's because only 1 match lose, it's really sucks.

What do you guys think of this one?

If Denis Istomin play like his last match against Medvedev , he can surely beat Kravchuk. But since it just a challenge tour , there no guarantee about this.

Yokohama are on the top 3 place and Nagoya are on the last place in the J-League. Yokohama have never lost a single point in home since the restart of the J-League , so yeah this could be nice bet.

I don't know much about how this method works but what I know is very risky compared to regular betting so didn't even try to learn. I usually don't like to take so much risk to make money so I'm sticking to just regular betting. I'm usually bet on cricket games more and quite happy with my predictions.

Parlays are mathematically worse than doing straight bets. The only time I ever do parlays are when I wanna just have fun with a few bucks and don't actually expect to win. Parlays should never be used as a way to consistently make profit

my friend won 1M sat in parlay he deposit 78k sat then choosed random teams
lucky af

I wouldn't saw too risky , I parlay bets most of the time and win 7 out of 10 times . Although I don't like to go for high odds of 15 and 16 , I play with 2.5 or 3 . Usually tennis and cricket combination or soccer sometimes , When Djokovic or Murray plays , odds will be like 1.03 or 1.02 so , just I add them so that I get extra ~1.05 odds in my cricket or soccer bet .  Sometimes , everything can go wrong too , the cricket/ soccer bet may win and Djokovic or Murray will loose .

yes parlay quite risky, but if you are smart to choose and not be greedy when selecting a team to become a parlay, I think it will get a positive result. parlay is my favorite, and of course I've made a lot of advantages of the parlay. I prefer taking chance are not too high, such as @3-10. but sometimes I also like to try luck, making parlay with odds @50-1000.

Parlay is really good if you get it, i mean the odds is really big though and today i want share my parlay, i hope i get lucky.

yes they are too risky especially for a parlay with huge matches with huge bets because if any particular matches lost that mean you will lost all of your money but i have good experience with my parlay that i was made parlay with total 5 matches and odds 10xx and i won it but honestly i was very rarely to won my parlay

Parlay of the day, i have things too.
you will hit them when yours day come. this called like SNIPER hunt for gambling.

Parlay sure have high risk but it has good payout if you can manage to win it but usually there is not much people can can win huge amount from parlay. It is much more effcient if you are just bet on each games and slowly get your profit

In my opinion they are risky but they can also pay off big time. My friend and I used to play one every week on the football and we would put like $10 each in for a total of $20 to place our parlay. We mostly went with goals over and under and we used to get a couple each year. One year we got lucky and hit a parlay that paid over 5k from just $20, that was our biggest win and mostly when we were lucky and got one it was just a couple hundred dollars.

Definitely parlays have so big risks because we have chance to win more big amount with stake of low amount, I avoid to make parlay bet but time to time I try different option to make parlay bet with odds around 100 to take chance there, place bet on parlay it make me feel wonderful.

Definitely! Parleys are always better with great odds,risky at the same time.The best part of placing a bet on a parley is,with very small amount staked,one can win huge returns based on the odds and the number of bets placed.My bet of the day,putting it in quotes since I have no idea how to link to the parley in sportsbets.io.

Thanks for the post.

Let us know the result?

Parlays do really pay well as usually if you pick three teams with odd 1.5 for example as favorites the total odd goes 3. However chances are really high that one of these teams can screw up and make you lose your bet. Many people play parlays as they think they will get at least 2.5-3 odds and that means 250%-300% winnings, they are greedy and want to make money really fast. That is the wrong way to go in sportsbook. My tipping thread in this very section of the forum have proved so far in almost a month of daily tips that in the long run you are much safer with a single bet per day. And you have to be patient even when you lose a tip and not rush to place another bet but wait for tomorrow until you have calmed down and are not thinking with a hot head.

The main advantage of parlay is that you can make lot of money with small amount of money. You need to be lucky you win on those odds which usually appear. I personally make parlay bets at least once in a day or twice with very high odds but don't have luck so far. I am sure someday will be good time when the difference of 1 or 2 matches because of what I loose always will be in my favor. It is hard to win with many matches but not impossible as some people have won good amount.

R.I.P your BTC  :-\

I often like using parlays as the odds can be very good, it's not often that I win but why I do win it can often be 10x my original bet. I only gamble with small amounts but I find it fun to watch several games and all hope the outcome is what o want.

I prefer to take single bet than parlay, the risk and the difficulty of using parlay is very high unless you have master the bet or you are very sure with your bet then go ahead with parlay, but i suggest just to play single, eventhough the profit is big but the chances are small

What do you guys think of this one?

@2.34 odds

I like to combine few matches, but in my case is also not good percentage of winning on parlays. I have much better score and profit on single game bets.
Its more fun in my opinion when I find 5 games and bet just on goals, sometimes I chase very high odds with small bet. Its just trying to win something big, I hope one day I will hit it good. Anyway I lost more then I made on sports betting, but I like it and I doubt I will stop it, watching games and betting on them is fun for me.

I have tried a couple of parlay but rarely do. I lose anything i put more than four on one ticket.
I have only once or twice with having three parlays on a single ticket but the odds were quite low.
I win more if I put two matches on a ticket. And with that I don't put a ML on it I put over or under for one pick while the other is a straight win for a selection.
These type of betting are the hardest to garner as a win once the matches are finalized.

@2.03

i dont know about USA U20 - Bahrain U20 , but i watched the match between chivas and arsenal and it was a powerful match from arsenal side and arsenal won it by 2-1.

Parlay is just for fun and that is more legitimate play rather than putting your money in a dice with a good payout. In parlay in sports betting you will completely feel the thrill in gambling especially when you are winning and the game is close and the result would determine if you will win the last leg of your parlay.

Did you wager the match?

seems like easy money..

i better stay with individu, because i am afraid with the risk. ok both have risk, but for me, i will prefer individual than parlays. it makes me more calm and can thinking about the next steps. i really do not know about positive result, but in my opinion, with parlays, we can take a higher profit but if we loss, then we have loss all.

@2.41 odds

Irrespective of the type whether parley or individual is just that "the higher the risk, the higher the return" if you're a risk taker go for it but if you want to manage your exposure to losing then I will suggest the individual one. However, Dont forget the golden rule of betting irrespective of what you are going for ' Bet what you can afford to lose" my 2 cents...

Parlays are good if you add no more than 4 matches and try to play with lower odds. Let's try something for tonight's International Champions Cup games. 2 matches parlay:
Bayern Munich v Real Madrid - Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.16
AC Milan v Chelsea - Double Chance, Draw or Away @ 1.23
Total odds: 1.43 (Odds are from directbet.eu)

They both look like a lock in for the odds are marginal and combing the two together in this parlay makes the total odds reasonable to place a good amount of bitcoin on for some nice profit.
Didn't know the International champions cup trials started just yet until I went to a previous post here. Now got to get to the sports book to place these picks!
Thanks for the selections mate! ;D

I think parlay bet is riskier than single bet , even you bet on 1.05 odds.
You doesn't guarantee to win even you bet on low odds , better to bet on single bet where you sure to win.
Than parlay your bet on low odds , where you lose on final match(just like i did yesterday)

not much but once you hit should be a big win  ;D ;D

A bit of fun with this one?

@2.83 odds

I've won a good number of parlays over the years. I usually like to do them when the football season is on, I pick like 5 or 6 teams to win.

I lose maybe 80% of them but when a win comes in it is good money.

I don't play with big money.

Looks good, give it a go, why not. I have had fun with parlay's in the past but I tend to not do them often.

They're risky.

That is the reason why parlay is too risky than to place bet individual bet, even this encounter was looking very good to take risk on over 1.5 goals because both teams have very good ability to make score a lot of goals there, but played with very defensive style.

How about this?

@2.24 odds

yes very risky, but it depends on the team you choose, the more teams you select, the greater the risk.
I often make a parlay, and yes I am also quite often get positive results.

Parlay a bit just like chasing the jackpot in slots. If you add for example 13 games the maximum allowed in directbet the odd should go quite high with normal odds of 1.3-1.7 . I took an example just to see for myself as in slots I try to win the jackpot resulting in losing my money almost all the time but the odd with 13 games with 1.7 is 990 so if you bet 0.10 you win 99 bitcoins , kinda a small jackpot.

It all goes down to the same principle one uses when playing single bets. Intense Analysis of the teams chosen to bet on.

Consider this:

18:00   Start - Odd   2

@2.55 odds

This includes it not being a good idea to place too high a bet on anyone game. Just in case it is a loss. Approach betting with a game plan and you can do quite well fpr yourself.

Try it?
