      what does parlay mean?

    • @videosurfah
      @videosurfah 6 років тому

      @@philipchampion Parlay betting is one of the most popular forms of sports wagering. With parlays, bettors can bet that two or more point spreads, OVER/UNDERs, or moneylines will win, earning a higher payout if all of their picks win than they would have betting each one individually.
      Bettors enjoy parlays for their big potential returns. The average odds at most sportsbooks for parlays are +260 for two-team parlays and +600 for three-team parlays. For example, if you straight bet $55 to win $50 on Miami -2.0 -110, and $55 to win $50 on Seattle +4.0, and both won, you’d profit $100. But if you instead put $100 on a two-team parlay of Miami -2.0 and Seattle +4.0 and both won, you’d profit $260 at the standard +260 price.
      Sportsbooks love parlays because they force bettors to be perfect. In the example above, if the bettor went 1-1 instead of 2-0, with two straight bets they’d have lost only $5; but with the parlay they lost the whole $100. A three-team parlay forces the bettor to go 3-0; even a normally profitable 2-1 is a losing wager.
      It is hard enough to win with straight bets, so despite the increased payouts, parlays usually aren’t worth the risk long term. But one good time to use parlays is when you see semi-correlation.

    So on spread of it says -7.5 the team has to win by 8 points or more and if it says +7.5 the team has to either win or lose 7 points or less correct?

    I Just dont get why people bet the spread favorite when they can just bet moneyline favorite. Am I missing something? because if you bet -7.5 and the team wins by 5. YOU LOSE! But if you just bet the moneyline for the favorite to win, you don't have to worry about losing because the spread didnt cover on points. I mean am I like the only smart person in the world? Why is nobody talking about how the favorite on the spread is literally pointless to pick? I get why you would pick the underdog spread option but it makes no sense for the favorite spread option. You're literally trying to magically predict a certain amount of points will be scored and that literally should be impossible. To say a team will just win outright would seem to give you a "bettor" chance?
