Where it is real F ing COLD
I dont count parlays at all in my record.. I just do them for fun.. I have lost many but did hit one for about 4500 in MLB and another for 3000 in CBB and some others probably totaling 10 gs over the year.. Have I lost that much? I suppose I could track it but I doubt it since the 4500 was won on a 30 bet but a any rate I don't count em. Maybe for 2011 I will just to see.

Nice! I've never hit one in my 3 years, so i'm still a firm believer in it being a sucker bet. Haha with that said, I still play them in hopes of hitting one.

As for the whole tallying into your record, I feel like parlays of 2-3 teams I believe I should win more times than not when I place them. 4 or more teamers seem to be more of a losing effort and shouldn't count towards because they would skew my overall record.

if you really want to keep a genuine record that allows you to monitor your plays you should keep all plays recorded..


part of record keeping in better understanding your strengths and weakneeses so you tailor your plays to your strengths and not at the same action that kicks your brains in and destroys your bankroll..

true record keeping and adjustment of bankroll and unit wagered per selection is critical to not only the rec player but also the perceived "investment wagerer".

hope this helps.

and alot of very smart folks to teach in here..

but....folks who ain't got a friggin' clue also.


90 out of every 100 folks who wager on sports lose money..

99 out of 100 when you don't use money management and fall prey to junkie action..

now of course none of this matters if your lifestyle allows you to throw away hundreds and or even thousands of dollars a year getting your brains beat in thinking your a PLAYER.

and there are millions of those everyday thinking the know another winner..
