2 team parlay 3:1 vs -110 straight up wager

Question

how much of an edge/angle can be created if i can get 2 team parlays at 3:1 vs 13/5 opposed to straght up wagers being -110.. does this even make that much of a difference?

i have toyed with ideas like keying on 4 games and doing the following

team a + team b

team a + team c

team a + team d

team b + team c

team b + team d

team c + team d

is this a way to make the best of this, any input is appreciated, thank you very much.

At 3:1, parlaying is better than simply picking two -110 games. The question then becomes of whether to play 2 games straight up, or rotate 2/4 (like you mentioned) or 2/3 or 2/5 or whatever. I'd honestly say 2/3 is your best option as it is a middle ground for risk to payout... but I'm just assuming. If I was willing to do the math, you could figure out the optimum strategy to play this but I have very strong feelings that it is 2/3.

Where are you getting this?

Even at 3:1 you&#x27;d still only wanna just use parlays if the events take place at the same time. Let&#x27;s say you have two games at different times you like, each at -110 and you have 110 dollars.Scenario A: Bet $110 on the first team. It wins. You now have $210.Bet $210 on the second team. It wins. You now have $401.Scenario B:Parlay both teams. They win. You now have $400.So it&#x27;s still just a cent difference per dollar wagered. When you are getting 13:5 odds on parlays like most people you definitely only want to bet parlays if the events are at the same time. At least that&#x27;s how I&#x27;ve come to view them.

You&#x27;re right until your last little blurb... At 13:5 odds, you don&#x27;t want to parlay at all.

Actually, you&#x27;re not right at all.Scenario A:Bet $110 on the first team. It wins. You now have $210.Bet $210 on the second team. It wins. You now have $401Scenario B:Parlay both with a $110 bet and you&#x27;ll win $440
