So, this is my first year playing MLB, and I just bet my first 3 parlays last Sunday on the Reds -206 with three other teams. I thought I was up like $100, but my book just informed me that I had calculated the odds wrong. Could you guys help?
Here are my three parlays:
$25 - Reds (-206) and Philly (-110 or something) - Loss
$25 - Reds (-206) and NYM/Philly UNDER 9.5 (-110)- Won
$25 - Reds (-206) and LAD (+110 ) - Won
I used donbest.com parlay calculator (here) and it says I should have won like $45 and $55 on the two I won. My book says, "No, that is including your initial bet - so you won $20 and $30" But, the notes on donbest.com right beside the calculator say "win amount DOES NOT include your initial bet." Am I reading this wrong, or is my book trying to get some money back by stealing it?
