Parlay

Yanks + 123 w/ over 7 1/2 + 105, 350 to win 1250.02 Final Score Yanks 5-3. Only because Seattle will get a late run off relief pitching. GL to all.

Dugan, I agree with you on the Yanks big. But, the over under is my question. I went with the undr because I don't see the mariners scoring. Mussina is doing what the Yanks brought him in to do except lately hes been doing it better than anyone. But, I can see it going over in the same situation as the ariz/atl game yesterday. Anyway bud I wish you good luck and go Yanks!

Loved the Yanks tonight covered the parlay with the Yanks straight, also chech this out. Parlay betting the Yanks with the over and under made sense. Each $57.09 bet on Yanks + 123.00 with the under 7 1/2 -125.00 wins 172.07 = profit 54.98. Each $60.00 bet on Yanks +123.00 with the over+105 would have won 214.29 = 97.20 profit. The previous won so x 5 = 274.90 profit. Nice day, also hit the Bills moneyline./// 2nd parlay lost costing 60. amount wagered was 57.07 plus 60. for 2nd parlay.total of 117.09 to win 172.07 x 5 bets = total profit of 274.90. Don't ask me why I did this. Shit happens but this time I won. For some reason it did not occur to me to double up on Yanks(brain freeze) It must be from reading all the crap posts and bickering it had turned my brain to mush.

Dugan, you have me confussed. How can betting a parlay with the Yanks to both the over and the under, make sense?

One of those wagers has to lose, and if the Yanks lose, both bets are toast.

So, since you need the Yanks to win the game to win either of the parlays, you would be better served to bet both amounts on the Yankees to win.

Books don't give money away too often.

Simple math but I tried it a few years ago because it sounded good. 2 to win 1' or 2 to win 2. Boy, did my bookie think I was dumb when I did it.
