here is a chart listing typical house edges on parlays:
# of teams payout house edge
1 10/11 4.55%
2 13/5 10.00%
3 6/1 12.50%
4 10/1 31.25%
5 20/1 34.38%
6 40/1 35.94%
7 75/1 40.63%
8 150/1 41.02%
9 300/1 41.21%
10 700/1 31.54%
so the house has a 41% edge on a 9 team parlay paying out 300-1, but khan you got only 270-1 odds on your bet.
there are some situations such as correlated bets on parlays and where you have an edge on individual bets where parlays can actually increase your EV but in the majority of instances, parlays are really bad suckers bets. |

I'm going to bed and will get up an hour or so before the match begins to confirm any existing proposals.
So --> I'm giving 1-4 for Flash to win 3:0. (my 1000 to your 4000)
I'm giving 1.5-1 for Flash to win at all. (my 1500 to your 1000)
Up to 5k$ to total in bets - I'll have to confirm it when I log in 6:30 hours from now, as I'm going to sleep.
I'd take up Rainkhan's 5-1 Jaedong 3:0 proposal for 2500$-500$ if he agrees before the match.
GN for now. |
