Would you buy a Parlay bet if you’re offered one?

[Awaklara]

I would definitely pass because there is no point in buying a running ticket from someone knowing fully well that betting can be very unpredictable, it would be a foolish move for anyone to think that winning such game is guaranteed. if I'm offered such i would decline immediately and I have several reasons why I'm going to do that, one thing that is going to discourage me is that fact that the bettor can decide to claim the bet after winning and this would lead to a dispute, for those that are smart rhey would think about the possibility of this happening and do their best to avoid it.
Bettors or gamblers can be very funny, they can say something now and change their mind at any point as though they made no such statement.

What confuses me is, what motivation would make a gambler sell his parlay bet to someone else, when he could cash out if he needed money, although the amount might certainly not be as high as what he asks for. Even if there are gamblers who do this, I am sure what happens is a transaction with friends. But even with friends, issues involving money can always become a serious problem.

You have more to lose if you buy the game from him.
You would buy it for the cashout amount, plus an extra $50, so if they game doesn't play accordingly, you would lose. If he doesn't cashout and you don't buy the game, he lost only his stake.
It is not a wise thing for you to do. I would definitely be passing on that offer. While thinking about how much you will make if the game plays accordingly, also think of what you would lose if the game is lost. Let him just take the cashout and not be greedy.

If I see the remaining games of the parley, and I see that they are games that will play, I might buy it for the actual amount given in the cashout, but in that case, there will be no need for me to take the deal, he can just take the cashout.

I'd call it business. Some gamblers have seen gambling as a business for them and the guy might decide to sell his slip at a higher amount from the cashout offer just like what OP said.

But the fact is that, it's a 50/50 chance that you will be profitable when you buy the game. I don't see it as a good move at all. Let him keep his slip and decide to cash out or wait till all the games play out.

This offer can only be considered if the seller is willing to sell the bet at least %20 less the amount avaliable on the cash out, this can be the fairest thing to do as a smart person and for some reason, the bet seller is under pressure at this point because without any problems he won't be selling his running bet that is already on winning strides already, so for both the seller a the buyer they must make adequate bargains of a fair deal for this.

So businesses like that really exist? I've been gambling for quite a while, and I have a lot of gambler friends. But I've never received an offer to buy betting slips. Friends usually just come to ask what the bets are today.
Anything is possible, there are prediction groups that share their predictions to paid groups. It's not impossible that there are gamblers who sell their betting slips. I just found out about it today.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Story of this nature have occurred several occasions to my hearing, there is nothing gambler can't do but this level of risk is not imaginable, what become your outcome if the person you buy from is in possession of the slip, ticket especially as it's done on casino it's username is solely to him, it means strong agreement must be in place money is one thing that trusting someone is difficult to take place. If it's prediction site where people paid and collect code for booking they are in possession of the game from the beginning not half way played that scenario I am not confidence with it.

So as far as I know I gave never seen a bookies offer the transfer of bet positions.
It would be funny to see a marketplace for them. Some people could have a lot of fun there trading their positions if there's enough demand driving around this type of trade. But it's something entirely new and I don't believe it holds much ground currently.

What if the parlay wins? Would your friend really give you the money? Probably not. It could be up to the tend of thousands. So?

[Humblevirus]

I don’t know if anyone has been in a tough situation like this before. A situation where someone offers to sell a parlay game that’s already halfway through.
Here’s what really happened, a friend of mine offered to sell a 10 leg parlay bet which is already halfway done, 6 games are already green with a pretty good cashout option and 4 games left to clear the slip. So he offered to sell the game to me, added an extra $50 to the cashout amount.

If the game eventually pulls off, I’ll be making more than 5x of what I bought it, but it’s a really tough decision to make because there’s really no guarantee that it’s gonna end in a win.
What would you do if you were in my shoes, Buy or Pass?

I can only risk that if the game remains to be played and again, it still has to be money I can afford to lose in gambling. But with four games remaining, there is still a long way to go, and it is a very big risk.The funny part, again, is that the person who wants to sell the game is still asking for extra money apart from the cashout. What kind of smartness is he trying to play when nobody has any assurance that the remaining matches will happen as predicted?So, even with the extra amount he wants to collect, it is still discouraging. In this situation, I will just pass. Even if I have to buy it, it would be better for me to pay only with the cashout on the account, but I will never pay extra.I see no reason to pay extra. If he wants to demand extra money, it should be based on an agreement that, if the buyer later wins, the buyer will pay the seller an additional amount that both parties have agreed on. I think that is the best way, even for someone who decides to take the risk.
