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

[Chibit01]

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?

I don't look at the total number of odds while preparing my parlay what I look at is the number of games which I'm picking sometimes I have plans for how many game parlays I want to spend my time and predict, irrespective of how many odds or come up together. I settled for it. If I'm to check the total odds, that could put more pressure on me or pick more games which are ordinary without a target I could not have selected.

He said, having 2 to 5 matches won’t give him the required odds and the amount he is intending to win.

This is why people love parlays... chasing huge payouts is a real thing. So, how many games are enough? It's never enough... You can always add one more and go for an even higher payout.

It's hard to win a parlay with many games. I believe those people who like to bet like that do it regularly, and somehow, I am sure that some people never hit anything big... but here & there, someone hits something crazy. I usually bet on 2-3 games max, but I like to see parlays with many games & I love it when someone manages to win huge from them.

Few days past I met an old friend who loves gambling on parlays, where he would have to accumulate much matches around 10 to 20 matches with long betting slip when we where together he was making predictions on the word cup game and I saw him have to select several matches and I told him why do you always risk your bet? At least to be at the safer side why not you just select on 2 to 5 matches that you confirmed to be winning than having much matches in one slip? He said, having 2 to 5 matches won’t give him the required odds and the amount he is intending to win.

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.

Well seems there is nothing wrong to make a parley or make a continuous bet with the matches if you are quite confident with the match there is nothing wrong with it but of course, we are into a safer bet reason why we choose to have a lesser bet but instead having a good win rate instead. It seems he made a bet only and does not watch the game but of some of us we are fan of the sports betting so it does not feel burnout in a game.

Even me I did the same way of making a multiple bet but in the same game such as in Dota 2, first 10 kills, first blood, map 1-3 winner or even match winners.

do you people look at the odds before placing your bet or you at the possibility of winning the match

Everything depends on you. It all comes down to your risk-taking ability. If you have sufficient funds and are willing to take significant risks, then you will likely chase higher odds. On the other hand, if you’re someone who just wants to make some extra cash, like me, then I would bet on matches with a higher probability of winning, regardless of the odds.

As for those who place parlay bets, they do so to balance their risk and increase their overall odds. However, I feel that parlays are too risky if you don’t pick the right bets.

I mostly check team strength than odd. I only look at odd when I am not certain about the team strength, at that point I get confused and judge the strength by odd. Sometimes it work for me and at time it doesn't.

At least, I have understood that 1 to 2 matches gives you the chances to win.

Parlay is good because the odd are increased when you select more games. But don't also forget that the more the numbers of game the more Risker it becomes. But although 1 to 2 game selection is not that bad when compeard to some parlay selection.

[Bryan jessy]

One funny thing about such is the fact that some of those bettors bet with small amount of money and win huge amount I have witnessed one before they guy placed the bet with very little amount but his win was massive,I have heard few stories from others who better with small amount and won huge amount of money and this people bet almost 6 to 7 matches that is the craziest thing, this betting is a thing of luck because the number of games selected is quite long what happens if one or two of the games loses, this set of people are high risk taker, two to four odds are perfect number for me.

Everything or a lot depends on your goal in constructing an accumulator bet from different matches. There are several possible scenarios here.
1. You're playing for fun. Then you don't need to worry about overly complicated rules; you just need to get the most out of your accumulators.
2. You're playing for research purposes, like me. Then formulate your hypotheses and test them in practice.
3. You're playing to make money. Then you need to base your approach on the specifics of your strategy, which I hope you already have.

[Somegory]

High stakes or high odds, the choice is yours to make, many people will give you different strategy based on how they are used to gambling, it's left for you to make your own decision.

All I know is that multiple picks always ruin bets, you will have to be extremely lucky for you to win all games, this is why most gamblers failed, because let's ask ourselves this, the chances of 10 games coming back just like you predicted is very high or low?

Do not be AA greedy gambler, and if you must make sure it's not on the money you risking, choosing high amount of games for better odds still sit right with me compared to risking high amount of money.

[Nahl]

More added games to your parlay mean the odds automatially high too but the opposite from that your chances of winning will be low too following the odds. I know we have been discuss about parlay plenty and the stories about the people who won huge amount of money from parlay but it didn't tempted me to following their steps because i know impossible for me won the parlay with high odds.

Like i said before that i did the parlay only for fun because i don't want put my high expectation to my parlay which, i know everytime i was add more game then my luck also will be decreases but, one of my habit when i was made a parlay is i only put 3 fames or less and my habit too always watching the odds before decided which game will i pick and mostly i put the games with low odds

I don't like express bets, and you gave your friend very sensible advice that he should spread his bets across several matches from the World Cup currently underway. It's not so much about money and winnings, but about interest. You'll agree that a much better scenario would be to place not an express, where one wrong bet would ruin your interest in all subsequent games, but rather single bets, where a loss in one of the matches on the list won't affect your interest in other matches.

[imthegreat]

Your advice is very sound. I remember very well how I felt when my express bet lost right at the start, immediately becoming angry and realizing that the rest of the bet was now useless. So what was the point of all those hours and effort I'd previously spent analyzing every match? Yes, the reward for winning bets in such a combination is high, but the odds are so slim that it's practically impossible to recoup all that winnings. And those who brag about it don't tell you how much they've lost before.

Yes I look at the odds, but what I do first is find the match that I'm more familiar with. I'm a football lover, I never bet on other sports. And specifically, I only bet on EPL, UCL, and some competitions that involve countries that I am familiar with. Nothing special about my strategy.

My bet flow is simply like this, first I look at the match, then I look at the odds. I rarely place a bet on a match that has odds below 1.6. There's no mathematical calculation behind this preferred odds range. For me, anything below that is just not worth betting on. It's not worth risking my money for just a small reward potential.

If I bet on a parlay, the minimum is 2 matches, and the max is never about the number of matches, but instead about the total odds amount. For a serious parlay, it usually consists of 2 to 3 matches with an odds range of 3~12. For a fun parlay, much lower stake, many matches until the odds reach thousands

The fewer matches, the better. But I think players don't really focus on the number of matches, they focus on the odds they want to achieve. You can pick 4–5 matches and still get combined odds of 2.00, or you can choose just 2 matches and get the same odds of 2.00. So it all depends on which odds you select, which matches you bet on, and whether you're backing favorites or taking on more difficult picks.

In the end, I think a bettor is aiming for a specific target odds value rather than trying to limit themselves to a certain number of matches.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Your old friend is really looking to try his luck, making a parlay with so many match choices is stupid in my opinion. For me personally, when it comes to parlays, I just set the odds I get, it has to be at least 10.00. Regardless of the number of matches, it could be as little as 3 - 5 matches to get 10.00, if there are some high risk ones, it usually only takes 3 matches.

It would be more stupid if the person is risking a huge amount that they can not afford to lose, although some people could afford to lose the amount they are betting with but the money can be big to some person, it's not actually stupid to try luck with just small amounts, like staking $10 on 50+ odds, at least you know very well that you are just trying your luck which if it give you a win, you are happy and when you are unlucky, you won't still be upset about it.

[Dunamisx]

One thing I like about playing Parlay is that you have the opportunity to combine as many as possible matches together, but the beauty is that you must not just include games you are not sure of, I really want to increase your chances of winning, we are to include only few selected games we know that we have much confidence in playing them with what they can deliver, having a range of 3 to 10 parlay games is not too bad on an average.

[Botnake]

This is just like 99% pure luck, so usually if I bet, I do not think of it like I am good at it.

I just maximize it to reach the highest odds I like, so if I win, I will be very satisfied. It is not about how many legs for me, it is about how big the odds are, most of the time I am already happy with x1000 odds at minimum, but I only hit a few of them.

[Dave1]

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.

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.

For me, at least, it depends on the amount I am betting. Sometimes I make a 700-1k odds parlay because the amount I am betting is the leftover dust in the account, like $3-4. Other times, I am actually handpicking games and being careful because I bet a solid amount and I really want to win. Those bets the combined odds are usually 10-20 max with 3-4 legs and sometimes more/less, depending.

Sometimes I just copy parlay bets from the high rollers tab because they are betting big money, so they must have done some research. But overall parlay bets are like a trap,  where you keep chasing and keep missing by 1-2 legs.

[Joy- maker]

As for me, I don't like my bet slip to be too long, the maximum number of matches I can pick is 10 to 12 matches, anything above that is not my kind of bet. However, I also consider the total odds of the matches I have selected , because you wouldn't expect me to stake $100 just to win $200, at the very least I should be winning $500 to $1000 when I stake around $100 or more.  

I also bet on a single match, because the chance of winning a single bet higher if not much higher compare to when you bet on 2 to 10 matches in a slip. However, everybody should do what please them, if you are They type person who like betting on 10 to 20 matches there is nothing wrong in doing that provided you know what you are doing. So I would advise you allow your friend to in a  way that pleases him.

Have you ever managed to win a 10 or 12 bet in a parlay?

Although I've bet several times this way just for fun and with very low valeu, I've never managed to win a bet with so many choices within a parlay 
It's really hard to win with 10 for example, even with low odds of 1.20 each one for example

Yeah, I have actually won 10 to 12 bet in a parlay, I even won one last week. If you want to be winning 10 to 12 bet you have to focus more on the overs, unders, both teams to score (GG), conners, as in the number of corners you expect to see  in that match.

Playing direct win on 10 to 12 bet doesn't always player out well, and to be frank with you I don't always play a team to win, I play more of overs, unders, both teams to score and conners. You can try it out as well, whenever you want to play 10 to 12 bet use my pattern.

I don't think I can give you the best answer because I don't usually get it right when I bet on parlays. So as you can see, I'm pretty good at single bets, which I think are more favorable to me. Yesterday I bet on England vs Ghana as a full time draw and it ended as predicted with huge odds, so I don't bet on any other option except draws. However, I wouldn't condemn your strategy because each and every one us here has different ways we gamble.

But always gamble responsibly with what you can afford to lose, because there is no guarantee of winning in gambling.
