dont do parlays man. way too many bets there.

[cpalma8588]

na? u dont think its a good idea?

[MMA_scientist]

Seconded. Don't do parlays. Find value, make bet, collect winnings.

Way too many bets, and there is no need to parlay. You just make your odds longer. The only parlays I even consider are 2 fight parlays with favorites.

With all those bets you are betting against yourself. You basically wasted 45 dollars. The only one that has a chance is teh last one, but you will only win 100... you would be better off just putting yoru $45 on a -200 underdog.

He's right, I've lost more than I've won on parlays for sure. I still do some occasionally just for fun, but that's it. It definitely shouldn't be the core of your betting strategy.

By the way, you gotta lose the ALL CAPS, dude.

[Mr. IWS]

Welcome to the forum man.

I agree, parlays are for fun bro, leave them at that.

Just follow these guys advise, they are quite good at what they do.

ok my fault, i was lookin at a few threads and i see that people are talkin in terms of 5u and 2.5u. what does that mean???

[Mr. IWS]

u = units. Everyones are different. Mine is $100, some guys are more, some less.

Yeah, a unit is essentially the basic element of your bankroll, like you're core bet. So if someone's unit is $20 and they say they bet 2.5 units then they bet $50.

ohh ok thanks for the help!

so do u reccomned sticking to single bets, and varying bets???

[Luke]

ok my fault, i was lookin at a few threads and i see that people are talkin in terms of 5u and 2.5u. what does that mean???

for me my unit is 100 dollars if it said 5 units to win 2.5 units it would mean I have 500 to win 250 on a favorite that is -250

I unit is just a percent of your bankroll usually 2.5% or 5% of the money you have to wager with


I use to do parlays alot but then I started seeing I was hitting 2 of 4 and 3 of 4 fights .I was losing money but winning more fights than I was losing .So I started betting single fights and winning money.

I say if you are winning money with parlays do them but if you see you are winning 3 out 5 fights start betting them individually.


Welcome man if you have any questions the people around here will be glad to help

[Mr. IWS]

so do u reccomned sticking to single bets, and varying bets???

I would say single bets for sure.

[Luke]

[SPX]

I'm starting to have a complex.. mine is $2. haha

When you gonna move up, brother?

With that said, I'm not rich like Zak. I only use a $20 unit.

You got to start somewhere man .When I starting betting I was betting 5 bucks a game

[Mr. IWS]

With that said, I'm not rich like Zak. I only use a $20 unit.

Luke bets more than me usually. I rarely bet more than 100 bucks per game.
