Why would anyone bet an even two team parlay?

[MR. LOCK]

2 team $100 parley = 13/5= $260 winner
IF YOUY LOSE YOU OWE $100

Lets take two teams straight up

first game win $100

next game you take the you bet $200 $100 you won plus the original $100

Grand total +$300!


+40

 

[dr. freeze]

you're a mathematical wizzard

Think they are called if-bets:shrug:

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Your forgetting the juice to win the $100.

Actual expectation is $273 and change, not $300

and what if the games are at the same time, pretty hard to do.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Don't hold me to this but I'm pretty sure "If" bets have to be of equal or less value.

I don't think you can bet 100 on the first game and 200 on the second. It has to be the same or the second bet can be less.
