    Default Going gangbusters on 4 team parlay -1.5 home moneyline favs and the overs!!

    For two years now I have been playing small recreational 4 team parlays taking the home team moderate moneyline favorite betting them at -1.5 and then taking the over.It's like stealing candy from a baby beating the bookies on this bet!It stands to reason why this should be an attractive bet.All the big hometown moneyline favorite has to do is to win by 2 runs instead of 1 and if the over is on the low end the winning by 2 runs works in unison where the over is easier to win on.

    I don't have a computer program to tell me the percentages of these bets winning the past two years since I have been playing this bet so maybe it's just dumb luck???A $10 winning bet always pays me $220-$260.

    Any computer stats nuts care to go over even the last weeks worth of games and see what you would have made by betting these scenarios?

    I have no problem believing this will produce a +ev.

    I've never tried it because I just assumed that no book would accept such an obviously correlated play. Perhaps I was mistaken.

    Most books don't allow parlaying same game run-lines and totals. Where have you had success placing these bets?

    Default I can't say and blow my cover where the well runs dry!

    Yup,almost,and I say almost all books will not let you play these bets but a tiny minority do and I can't disclose that info.because I don't want these books to take a beating from 1000 people reading this who would make those bets there where they discontinue taking the bets.I like making easy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ too much.It would be like running to town from the river where I found tons of gold and blabbing to everyone where I found it.hehe!
