There are many players here that like to parlay. Payouts are higher for risking less. But you consistently go 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 or whatever.
And while I'm sure there are many holes in this theory, it would seem if we all put our best play here we can collectively come up with one good parlay.
Even if we don't win everyday, once a week is still a good payout. So here's how we can do this, nice and easy:
1) Post one play. Game, total, or 1st 5 innings.
2) Check the plays posted before yours. If someone posted opposite of your play, then you're S.O.L. If we all post what we like, we'll end up with just a bunch of plays. So that's important.
3) Once there are 10 plays in the thread, our collective parlay is set. Just put "Play #" whatever so we can tell what number we're on at a glance. This should make it easy for everyone.
That's it! So anyone willing to offer a solid play to the parlay, let's have it! And please make sure it's solid. With a solid group effort we may be able to do it!
(NO PLAYS OVER -155, PLEASE. And it doesn't have to be just MLB, just make sure it can be put in a parlay!)

The 2 early games won't be included so that everyone will have a chance to handicap all the games. This will also give an opportunity to play the final parlay.
Thanks!
Good Luck Everyone!

EaZiii you only have to submit one play, not one parlay. When we get 10 different submissions from 10 different players, our parlay is complete. If you can submit your best play of this group, that would be great!
You do have quite a parlay already though!
Thanks for your contribution!

Just a suggestion, but looking for a 10 teamer daily you probably won't hit one in a lifetime. If you guys take your 10 best bets and play round robin 2 teamers you may have some success. Greed is the essence of parlay play (something for nothing, or a lot for very little) and the odds of hitting one go up exponentially as opposed to the payout. I could say "in my humble opinion" but that would not be true. What I stated is fact, not my opinion.

KeyElement thanks for the input, but your missing the point.
Your focus isn't winning 10 games, it's just winning ONE game. That's the whole point. Winning 10 games is overwhelming, but winning ONE is much easier. If everyone can take it seriously and find just ONE solid play, it can collectively be done.
And fyi, I HAVE won a 10 team parlay. But it's too hard to do alone with any regularity. It seems that in a forum where players claim to be so good we should be able to collectively come up with just ONE solid play a piece.
Good Luck In Your Plays!

Forgot to ask when I posted my pick...how is the payout or reimbursement handled. Thanks for bringing this idea forward (I love parlays) and the best of luck to us all....

Winning a ten team parlay, mathematically its almost impossible. I find it easier to pick 4-5 solid teams I like and also have the over/under. Not many people have 100 to put on a 10. If you hit early in the season, you can play all year. and if you hit twice or even three times in a season, its still a great year.
Good Luck with this

Bentley, congratulations if you hit one of the few 10 teamers ever hit out of the millions played; the books are still way, way ahead though and will be glad to accept all that come in. The probability of ten guys all hitting their own individual P.O.D on any given day is still pretty remote. If you want to try something like that why not just parlay the picks of the top ten ranked in Streak Survivor? At least you would have the picks of some guys that are on a roll.

Bentley this is a great idea here...I was also thinking the same thing...10 is way to much to aim for each day...4 5 games and we could have something good going here...lets have a vote or something 10 games or 4,5 games each day?...we can do well with less games..

I agree with 4 or 5 games

First I want to thank everyone for taking the time to give input and plays toward this endeavor. It's a daunting (but fun) task, and highly improbable. But not impossible.
This is a team effort like any other. Our focus should be not how we can win all 10, but how we can each win one. It's like trying to pitch a perfect game in baseball. The pitcher makes good pitches, the catcher doesn't allow passed balls, the infielder's do their job, the outfielder's do their job. No one can control what anyone else does, but if we all do our part, it CAN happen. Just worry about bringing your best to the table and we can all be successful together!
Milagrosman we will all get reimbursed by our books WHEN we win!
PVDoubleDown this is mathematically just over 600 to 1 in odds, but that's hardly impossible. People win the Powerball almost every week and their odds are 175,223,510 to 1. This is a walk in the park by comparison. AND you (and the rest of the team) have to only be right ONCE.
To be fair, I play these for $10/ parlay. $100 is high for most, but it just seemed like the number to use. I'll post the more reasonable $10 payout in the future. That's $300 in a 30 day period. If we only hit ONCE on a $10 parlay our payout will be roughly $5000. Well worth the effort IMO.
KeyElement, way, way, way ahead for the books may be a HUGE understatement. I don't doubt the books have built empires with the money they make from 10 team parlay losses. But that just makes the prize that much sweeter. I doubt many have taken this approach, so the many won't get our winning results.
We can't parlay the top 10 from survivor (thought about it). The problem is they pick the same plays and vary on their pick times. It's too erratic. But I like the way you think.
As for the 4 to 5 plays idea, there are several ways to accommodate that situation.
1) Take only 4 to 5 of what you consider the best plays from the final list should be.
2) Take one of the 2 5 team parlays that I post based on the final 10.
3) Do 4 team round robin parlays. This actually would have netted you a few winners if you did this yesterday.
Well that's it for now. Once again, thank you all for your time, input and support!
