For those who bets on parlay how many matches is enough?

My question is, do you people look at the odds before placing your bet or you at the possibility of winning the match, irrespective of the odds or without considering how copious the matches could be?
At least, I have understood that 1 to 2 matches gives you the chances to win.

Yes, I always look at the odds whenever I want to place a sports bet if the odds are too low, I won't risk my money on it even if the chances of winning are high based on the odds. On the other hand if the odds are higher than usual, I'll take a closer look to see whether my analysis supports the bet or not. Personally, I don't bet on parlay very often and I mostly stick to single bets to maintain myself in gambling so my urge for gambling could be satisfied. Also my parlay win rate isn't very good either so I know my limits and don't force myself to place parlay bets.

Unlimited numbers, but like in this example, $30 to 1.98 million, What?

It was just 6 legged parlay, but still it won him millions with just a small bet, because the odds is +6,576,031. But you can have 10 legged parlay that won't have that kind of odds. So it doesn't matter how many you can put in a parlay.

All depends on the incredible odds, specially if they are all underdog.

It is clear that everything depends on the odds and 10 outcomes with odds of 1.1 will give lower odds than 2 outcomes with odds of 10. But there is an interesting correlation: the fewer outcomes, the smaller the bookmaker's margin, i.e., if you are choosing between a multiple bet with 100 outcomes and a bet with 6 outcomes (the final odds are the same), then you should choose the latter. And the example you refer to confirms this, usually, incredible winnings come from such multi-bets, and not from bets with 100 outcomes.

If I want to bet on Parlay it's always two or three legs. I can go for five leg is I just want to have fun and test my analysis skills but that doesn't mean that I will be hoping to win all the games because it's a test. Betting on parlay isn't bad but to because of high multiplier and add too much games to your slip because it doesn't work that way.
