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

[Bitcoin.com97]

I will boldly say no , the fact six games are in doesn’t guarantee that the remaining four will also turn green, he should be patient, there are some risk that isn’t necessary to take , I may not understand fully what he meant by $50 and all the rest , but the truth is that , the deal is bad and risky , coupled with the fact that is gambling, I haven’t been offered such deal but if I am the person I won’t try it not for any reason, you should have asked yourself why he want to sell it out, if everything is actually alright, in as much as we believe gambling is all luck , but taking such risk is out of it, even if it’s the last game,  9/10 the last can never the trusted as long as gambling is concern ,I know how many times my final games failed me , so no use of jumping into such offer , it’s never guaranteed.

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?

If I were you, I would not buy the game at all, because I doubt why a person who has won six out of ten pearls wants to sell it? Because he did not withdraw the money even though he had the opportunity to cash out. In this, he is trying to withdraw more money, because he is using this strategy to attract people. Because it was easy to win in the early pearls, so he won, and when the certainty of losing increased, he immediately decided to sell it even though he had four pearls.
This clearly shows that he wants to take the money from others by using the strategy, because he wants to give up the game when it gets difficult.

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.

Gambling is naturally a game of luck, and moreover, if I was to be in your shoe whereby I'm been offered a long slip parley games which 6 have played and 4 left. What I would have done is to analyze the 4 games left if I believe they stand the chance of winning. Then I would have offered to buy the game at the exact cashout amount, and not anything way bigger that that. Because this is gambling, and in gambling winning is never guaranteed, which is why you just have to be very cautious at all times. And if he doesn't agree, the I will allow him cashout his game or allow it to play til the end. Because if the game eventually plays, he wins but if it don't, he loses, rather than I losing. Because with some new players playing at their rew Premier League clubs, some matches might be unpredictable.

The redemption value of a combination coupon has to be approximated by a careful consideration of the four other determining matches. Scaled buy in will help in curbing the possible loss of cash, since there are no guaranteed rewards in sports betting.

Further uncertainty to match scores is raised by the re arrangement of new lineups in the major leagues. To get rid of the burden of the risk of a bet bettors losing, allowing ticket holders to choose themselves their own withdrawal procedures is an excellent choice.

What would you do if you were in my shoes, Buy or Pass?

There is no guarantee that you can win all parlay bets, the risk is higher than single bets, I have bought parlay betting tickets several times, even though they offer high odds multiplication, Even though they have a guarantee for large payouts many times over, remember that one choice you make in parlay betting can ensure that all your money is lost, even single bets are sometimes difficult to win, let alone combined bets, I will skip it.

Most of what I see, sometimes gamblers are tempted by much bigger payouts, so they forget about the risks that will occur, to be honest I often see my friends who often lose when buying parlay betting tickets, they rarely consider risks, what they think is winning will take a lot of money, remember bookies are not stupid, they sell parlay betting tickets, of course the sports bets offered are difficult to predict, bookies are cunning and not stupid.

It wouldn't matter because I risk small money to care about someone selling parlay to me, I'm not going to buy it because to me I don't have to make myself win, I risk too small money to avoid hard decisions making or get worried for any reasons, gambling is meant to be entertaining, gambling is all about risking small money and having your best time, anything than this I'm dropping off.

[Yablee0]

Okay what I mean is that, he was actually offered a cashout of around $70 so he said he had an emergency and the $70 cashout won’t be enough to cover for the emergency, thus the reason why he decided to sell it in the first place, so instead of cashing out the  $70, he added an extra $50 to the $70 making it a total of $120, so he’s offering to sell the game for $120. That’s what I meant.

Why will your friend brought up such idea in the first place, isn't he aware that nothing is sure and that you can equally lose both the $50 and even the $70 along the way or his he whining I don't understand. I hope you didn't accept the offer because I don't just know but, I am not that comfortable with it, anything can't likely happen moreover this gambling we are talking about, cashing it out himself would have just been a better option. Guy Smart up don't let your guy play a smart one on you, I doubt if he is really in need just as he claimed otherwise he would have cashed it out before you know it.

All of it sounds a bit strange to me. Why didn't he just cash out his money(that's what I usually do if I see that the amount I can cash out is 10 times bigger than my bet)? With 6 games already in green, he could get good money on his bet. Being in your shoes I would definitely pass. I try to avoid such businesses with friends.

I think this is the most correct approach to betting. You shouldn't worry about profit, you should focus on ultimately enjoying the game, because it's still entertainment. And the question of single bets or parlays loses its importance when you view gambling simply as entertainment. I've tried different approaches, and you can't apply a single rule to all bets, because sometimes it's better to parlay, sometimes it's better to make a single bet. Everything needs to be assessed based on the current matches.

[Nrcewker]

but it’s a really tough decision to make because there’s really no guarantee that it’s gonna end in a win.

Is there any guarantee that it will end in a loss? No right? Everything depends on the future, so anything and everything can happen. What you need to do is assess the risk associated with it. As you mentioned, the return is 5x the money. So I am assuming the risk involved is very high which means the remaining legs are very difficult to win. In this type of situation I would rather pass on the offer and refuse to take the parlay bet.

I know there is a chance of winning but personally, I dont want to risk my money for a 5x return. It seems too good to be true. So passing on it would be the wise decision. Its better to have something rather than nothing.

[TedMosby]

That's an interesting case. But I would probably pass. However, maybe first you need to find out the chance you could get a win from the rest of the matches and the reason why he tried to sell it. If you think it makes sense, then I think maybe it's okay to give it a try, considering the one who offered it to you is your friend. Maybe he is selling it for personal reasons, like needing money for something. So, it's more like the bet makes sense, and you are also willing to help a friend.

But for me, as I said above, I would pass because it's too risky, and even if I won, it's less enjoyable compared to winning by composing a parlay by myself. Even when it's offered by my friend because they need instant money due to economic hardship or something, I will not do it. If I do it, I am just opening a chance to add an extra layer to his bad gambling habits (maybe). Like letting him think that it's okay to bet because he can sell the bet he made easily and get a bit of extra money from the bet even when it's not finished yet.

BTW, I wonder how the parlay is now. Still ongoing? Or already ended (W/L)?

[L E G E N D A R Y]

If the cashout amount is bigger than the amount you purchased the slip, buy it and cashout immediately without waiting for the remaining 4 to complete. Note that in your topic, you didn't state the amount to be paid out from those on Green.

Compare the amount to cashout and the amount to purchase slip, then make your choice out of it.

This response is totally off you know, because if you read the post very well I’m sure you would’ve read where I said the owner of the bet added an additional 50 bucks to the proposed cash out amount, if that’s so, then how is it possible that the cashout would be more than the purchasing price? Again, if the cashout was higher than the purchasing amount, would it be logical for the owner to want to sell it when he could simply just cash out himself…???

[BitBakerr1]

Someone has actually offered me this type of ticket before, and I bought it. The remaining match actually played out exactly as they were predicted and I won the ticket. However, it is very risky to buy such a ticket, but if you are the type of gambler who take risks a lot you can purchase it if you are offered such a ticket, because some of them usually playout. But I would advise you purchase such ticket with an amount of money you can afford to lose just incase things do not go as you expected.

People can actually buy just like you did. I have seen people that buy and it worked out very well for them, but I have not tried it before because I don’t really trust the prediction of other people I trust my own prediction more than the prediction of another person, no matter how good you are I will not trust your prediction.

If you check on X you will see that some people usually give out prediction for free and sometimes they usually win good amount of money depending on your stake, but if they give out 10 predictions only one or two will enter.

Yes, I agree with you if you want to buy use the money that you can afford to lose.

It all depends on the math. Roughly speaking, if he offers you $50 more on the parlay price (its cashout), and the parlay itself is worth $50, then it makes sense to take the risk. If this ratio is something like 50/1000, then there is no point, since the risks that he will not be able to withdraw money (even if he wins) and all sorts of other transactional ones outweigh the benefits. It's clear that the value of money varies from country to country, but I wouldn't bother with $50 at all - it's easier to place a bet yourself than to think up some shady scheme.

I will PASS!! If he was so confident and sure of the game, why not exercise the little patience and allow the game to be concluded and get the full chunk of the money rather than selling it off for Half or less the full amount. Gambling does not come with any level of assurance or certainty to engage with such risk, at that point, you still stand every risk of loosing that money just like he does, the amount been offered may be very tempting but it is sometimes not worth risking because if the game ends in a loss you will be at a two way loss and he is not entirely on a loss at that point, he should take the cash out if he so desires and is very impatient.

Why should somebody depend on a gambling win to take care of their emergency, knowing that they can lose their bets and there is nothing they can do about a lose, if it happens how then would they take care of their emergency. Knowing how gambling works I think that a bettor should accept whatever they are offered before the next game in the parley would play because if it goes against their bet it means that everything is lost. If a bettor puts out such an offer he should hope that somebody takes it very fast before the next game if not it is better to take what he can to use for the emergency instead of standing a risk of losing everything.

[danherbias07]

If you are going to accept it, make sure that he is not coming back and will suddenly tell you that he wants his parlay back. Because the last time someone shared the same story here didn't really end up well. It's buried deep here in the gambling discussion, and it's hard to find, but the same thing was offered to him. A parlay ticket was being sold while it was almost done, and it was sold for an amount just above the cash-out price.
If I remember it right, the initial owner of the ticket wanted it back because the parlay won, and it actually became an issue in their friendship.

So either tell him "no backsies" or create an agreement where both of you will sign, with a witness to prove it. Just to be sure. In case he changes his mind, you will have a paper to slam on him.

[Altryist]

I don't think I could trust anyone enough to bet my money on their recommendations, much less pay someone for those predictions. I've been betting for a long time now and can pick my own bets just as well as other tipsters. I've followed many different analysts to see how good they are. But they're all human and they all make mistakes, so you might end up paying money but not getting any guarantee of winning.

[WhoYouCantKill]

People can actually buy just like you did. I have seen people that buy and it worked out very well for them, but I have not tried it before because I don’t really trust the prediction of other people I trust my own prediction more than the prediction of another person, no matter how good you are I will not trust your prediction.

A friend of mine has even offered to buy a game I predicted one certain time. The game was also a parlay, just like the OP also stated, and it was going pretty well, just a few legs more to go and I already had a mouthwatering cashout offer, and this friend of mine offered to buy it when I disclosed the game to him and also told him I’m no really that much confident in the last few games. In the end I’ll, I refused to sell it, even though what he was offering was very tempting, but guess what happened? I lost the game on the last leg and damn I just wished I took the offer, but it is what it is right? That’s just gambling.

Anyone who has been gambling for a very long time and has been predicting matches by himself will not like to buy any prediction from anyone, those people that usually sell prediction to other people are not even that good as people think, they are just doing the same prediction we all are doing and if they are lucky to win they post it online and you think that they are very good when it comes to prediction, but that is a lie they are just the same people like us, why don't they post there losses or you think they don't lose.
The people that usually pay them for prediction are those people who don't know how to predict especially those that join gambling newly.
