I imagine the slide one will win but what about PSY? Worldwide that must have the most plays.

If Spotify were around in 1995 "Macarena" would be the runaway winner.

Re: Degen's MLB Gambling Odyssey

I think parlays are great if you are betting more for fun and entertainment than for pure profit. The feeling of hitting one is awesome, too. I agree 100% with this. When it's more than fun, well, you know the rest. Original post asked about the system itself and I was just pointing out that math w...

Re: Degen's MLB Gambling Odyssey

Rather than do an edit, I want to add a thought about my previous post. I chose to use $30 as an individual base bet because a parlay is an if-then bet. At $30 x 1.55 x 1.66, you are telling the Book take my $30 x 1.55 = $46.50 and bet that as $46.50 x 1.66. You are essentially betting that except y...

Re: Degen's MLB Gambling Odyssey

Betting math, love it. Parlays can indeed be profitable, but if you are a good handicapper then they will cost you money over the long haul if bet consistently. Yesterday is a perfect example. Let's say you bet $30 on each game instead of on two team parlays: $30 x 1.55 (w)= 46.50 +16.50 $30 x 1.66 ...

They've got to do something about these stoppages to check possession. Under two minutes, the refs are pretty much petrified of making a call and run to the monitor.
