I was just thinking of starting a discussion about this to see how everyone views the difference when it comes to winning value. Some say parlays are just for fun and flashy payouts, while others argue that straight bets are the only way to stay profitable long term.
So here’s my question to everyone, especially those who really understand sports betting and have been playing it regularly: Do you find more value in parlays or in straight bets?
Of course, newbies can still butt in - sometimes fresh perspectives are interesting.
Let’s see how knowledgeable everyone is and maybe we can all learn something from different experiences.
Parlay is too risky, I accept the odds are good but the risk factor also increase along with it. And we also got cash out in the middle that we can use at some point if we are worried that we might not win the bet at the later ends of the streak. But why straight bet is the winning is 50/50 or in some game it's 1/3 if there's draw is possible outcome. But imagine a parlay of two game the chances of winning will be reduced drastically like you get 1/6 probability and it will just multiply along withthe number of games. Stragiht bet gives you let rewards but you have more chances of winning the bet and get the rewards.
