I used to make tennis parlays there and was going to do so again tonight only to find that the option is no longer available. Does anyone know anything about this? I know the other BetPho brands didn't allow them, but I thought things were different at the main brand.

[Boner_18]

I know they recently had some matches where the opponents were not correct (subbed Troiki for Andreev or something) and thus they voided any bet on these games. Maybe they are having problems with the sport all together.

[RobbReport]

sometimes I would have to wait a bit after the lines are up to parlay tennis, which is fine i guess but if they nixed it altogether **** them.

Please never post on this topic again.

Is this a touchy subject for you? I asked Richard months ago in a thread on Covers to allow tennis parlays and it was done in about an hour. I have no idea if they disabled them alltogether or not. I know I asked the line manager at BetMania about parlays on tennis and he acted like I asked for a blowjob.

This a topic where books are best left uneducated. Seriously, no more please.

[RogueScholar]

I'm sorry, but I'm still confused. I'm not even discussing a technique, just a simple question of sportsbook functionality. I couldn't get anymore tennis parlays down and wasn't sure if it was just me that been cut-off for winning on them or if others had been restricted at the same time as me, indicating a global policy change.

Isn't that what SBR is for, so we can talk with other players about our experiences? Are sportsbooks really out there accepting bets they would rather not take? They just let us sneak them in under their nose rather than disable them in the software? I'm sorry, but your exhortations to remain silent are too vague to be followed without examination.

I'm glad to see you're on board with the intelligentsia now.

Yes.

[Doug]

I don't get it, unless they were taking correlated bets.

In my book, if I had one, you could parlay all your -1000 chalks in tennis, with anything else not related, until your parlay reached the max payout of 250k or whatever. I of course would not allow correlated bets like the fav ML and the same guy -5.5 games in tennis.

[RickySteve]

I would like to play at your book.

[Thremp]

Don't worry. When your sportsbook opens and you're faced with busto or stiff everyone, you might get it.

[RogueScholar]

Alright, now I get it. My apologies gentlemen, now I see why I was stepping on proverbial toes.

[icsky3]

Hmmm this is very interesting..Why would they stop your tennis parlays??

[tltaylor89]

Never noticed they stopped

[THEGREAT30]

It is to there advantage to take tennis parlays, i think tennis has more upsets than any sport, maybe that's why they stopped, some noobs hitting two or three ML parlays with underdog plays probably killed them, on the other hand, most noobs just take the favorite

Yes.

We'll see how long this New Justin Lasts..... he is probably the worst on the board for educating the books.

[Thremp]

Yeah, "A sharp who knows all the tricks in the book". Apparently, most are centered around preventing everyone from retiring young.

[sq764]

hasnt there been a ton of corruption in tennis matches?? Why would a book even bother getting smoked

[JELLYBEAN]

Every post justin7 makes I like him less. Guy is as close to a crook as they come, but makes himself out as a good guy. He will take advantage of a 2 year old kid if he could make a buck. Find it rather disturbing myself.

Justin is just used to an extremely high level of personal/professional recognition and praise wherever he goes. He's a former Olympic-caliber fencer, an attorney with ties to the Indiana State Bar, a former linesman for Pinnacle and has been featured by the Wall Street Journal and ESPN's E:60. You can't blame him for not wanting to share pearls of wisdom with just a few "non-people" on a sub-forum in SBR. I'm sure if a major newspaper or journal asked him for the secret of tennis parlays he'd be more than happy to share his info.

He's talking about publishing now, maybe the tennis parlay secret will be in his book.

[skrtelfan]

Don't forget Magic: the Gathering expert!

[RogueScholar]

LOL, yeah, I forgot that one and the elite Dance Dance Revolution skills.

[BigDaddy]

anyone wanting to know what the big secret is just send me a pm.

[RogueScholar]

I don't have PMs here, how about an informal conversation in my SBR Chat Room?

http://roguescholar.mysbrforum.com/chat/

[BigDaddy]

if i don't reply right away don't panic

i will reply to all of the pm's at one time i am going to give it a few days so everyone wanting to know can find out.

at this current time i have 3 asking

[Jrod124]

I don't get it, why can't people talk about this? I havent been at phoenix in a while but as of a month ago they were taking parlays. This would suck if they stopped doing it honestly

[BigDaddy]

also please post in this thread that you sent a PM so i know everyone is accounted for and i don't miss anyone.


thank you

[Son of Sam]

PM sent

[skrtelfan]

I sent a PM I think the trick is to parlay fixed matches. Tennis is great for fixes.
