For Parlays, do you prefer fewer games with higher odds?

[$weetne$$]

Games with fewer odds and fewer games for me has more chances of winning than other kinds of games in my opinion, this will keep me in a better position to be stable with my emotions and make the best of decisions, when the games are fewer and with fewer odds, you will have more chances of winning because even the casinos give fewer odds because  they believe it will be easier for such picks to be won so they give it smaller odds, so if you gather a few of it and get small odd and you put some good funds on it and get some better chances of winning.

Bookies add and reduce the odds in some games not because they are too certain the game can win over the one with higher odds. Sometimes I believe they do it as a result of trying to divert attention, and some people also believe that whether you go with fewer games, or you go with a long combo, it's still all the same if you can't make the right choice your bet slip can be damage on the first running game.

It's not the same, some facts remain true despite having common results. The more the games, the more the risks is an undeniable fact but even fewer games are not still guaranteed since on-field activities still determines the fate of your selections. I'm into more parlay games but it isn't about the odds, it's about your good understanding of the teams involved to make better selections. The odds can be deceiving sometimes, so it's more profitable to base your picks from knowledge and stats.

Fewer games with slightly higher odds are better preferred for me as compared to long-shot parlay with many games because long shot parlays would give the house a better advantage over you the player without knowing.
This therefore makes me agree to the emotional balance that comes with such choice of fewer games and the ease of playing it, because less care is taken so as to focus on other things too.

It is far more prudent to adopt a strategy where we have only a few matches so that we can stand a good chance of winning. In my opinion, this will help to ensure that the profit margin of the bookmaker is lowered by avoiding over betting in terms of number of bets, which we are usually not aware about. We must be more concerned about the quality of prediction we make rather than look to snatching the high multipliers which have minimal chances of coming up. I also feel that it will be easy to concentrate on other things when we have reduced the weight of the game.

Which pattern do you prefer and why?

Games with lower odds and fewer number of selections


What number of selections do you consider okay to include in your bet slip since we know very well that the risks increase with the number of games?

Games with lower odds and fewer selections is what I play mostly when I go with a parlay
and I would average around 3 picks.

I try to play it as safe as possible by limiting thr risk. I think its very easy to "add" higher odds
selections to try and get extra value and higher wins and its easy to look at the potential winning
odds and get excited which can result in overlooking the amount of risk involved.

I prefer fewer games and lower odds. But it will depend on the team's performance. Still needs some analysis.

But don't think that this style of betting is making me rich. I still lose while winning small amounts. That is the reality in gambling, perhaps. Whatever you do, you can't find any assurance. So don't take gambling seriously, and never make it a habit. Just bet on your favorite team and you'll be okay. Or just bet on the team you feel like could win, not because you are highly confident they will. It helps you have peace of mind despite losing.

[SUPERSAIAN]

I usually prefer 2-3 matches; winning 4-5 times the stake is more than enough for me. I'm sure everyone's betting style is different, but I'm confident many people wouldn't say no to 4-5 times the stake. I don't want to bet on too many matches because the more matches, the higher the chance of losing, so one match or two or three matches is ideal for me.

I like to play mostly 2-4 teamers. I don't need 100-1 odds in a parlay as the goal is to win. Adding lots of games or high risk games greatly reduces my chances to win. If I can bet $25-30 on a 4 teamer that pays $120+ I'm fine with the small wins adding up.

It's always better to have fewer games on your betslip, I gave up on more selections a long time ago. Fewer numbers brings more precision and lower risks.

You use good stakes for your multipliers and that's cool. On a normal day, I'm go for same number of teams with combinations that produce higher odds. I love staking low, so I prefer higher multipliers from my fewer careful selections. Winning or losing doesn't really matter to me, although I'll be glad if my selections ends in a win.

I prefer games with lower odds and more number of selections because even though I'm playing parlays which is very risky and has a low chance of playing out due to the number of games being combined it's better that I try to reduce the risks involved by reducing the risks involved. Betting on huge odds and still combining games makes the risks even more high, but when you go for low value odds and more selections the chances of winning would be slightly increased. parlays are basically just for fun though because winning is difficult so it's  etter to just think of it as an entertainment.

[ralle14]

I mostly go with the lower odds and fewer selections (2-3 matches with odds ranging between 2x-4x) because i've tried the other options mentioned, and those can be frustrating if you're the type to rely on parlays to hit regularly.

I've had so many parlays that ended up losing at the final leg and it's probably what made me stick to fewer legs unless all the teams I trust suddenly play on the same day.

I'm only doing those other parlays if there's a promotion involved and they give out free bets.

To some gamblers, parlay bets are the best since it allows them to combine more games into a bet slip which has more odds output and they can stake low and have a higher payout. 

I have this question on the pattern which gamblers in this community approach parlay bets and why they go for those choices, maybe someone's view would inspire you and you change your own pattern

Which pattern do you prefer and why?

• Games with Higher odds and fewer number of selections?
• Games with Higher odds and more number of selections?
• Games with lower odds and more number of selections
• Games with lower odds and fewer number of selections

What number of selections do you consider okay to include in your bet slip since we know very well that the risks increase with the number of games?

More often I choose a few events with small odds, and I rarely bet against the favorite. Since I often bet on small odds, I can say that small odds also lose very often, so the odds are not the main thing and the bookmaker can also make mistakes. It’s even better when there are no more than two events in my parlay, then I win more often, if there are three or more, then there are significantly more losses. Parlay is the most popular bet among players because you can get a higher odds, but higher odds do not mean more winnings.

[Cityhunter34]

Well I'm not a fan of parlays, I always deal with single bet and "draw to be precise" although most times I used to go with two draws but I'm more pretty good with single bet. However, since draws are made up with high odds I think I wouldn't say much about it because it's obvious that you must surly bet on high odds when you are a draw specialist because that is exactly how the option is program and it has mastered me in such a way that I don't bother myself too much whenever the game go other way around because it's not a new thing anymore.

There are a few active Mutlibet/Parlay Challenges in the games & rounds section... check how many people participate in those challenges. It can be tricky to hit a parlay with 3 games over 1.5 odds...

I agree with your over all statement and you are right hitting 3 leg parlay is much harder. But when there is an assured prize pool it is very profitable to set parlay in specific permutation and combinations 
Although I know that $25 might not be too much but for a $5 parlay bet (specially if you are going to bet anyway) it is enough to make your bets +EV, and if you add all parlay contests you would be aiming for $75 + your parlay wins 
 

Everything you wrote is true, and I agree. I wanted to point out how many forum members actively participate in these challenges... What does that say? That many forum members don't bet? Or they don't stake $5 or more & they don't chase parlays with odds higher than 1.5? Or they do, but they usually lose?

By the way... I deposited the same amount in BetPanda & Punkz. I lost my balance in the first casino... a few parlays failed, and the rest went on slots. In the second, I was luckier, I won at least one parlay & I had luck with slots:



Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win...
