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.
There is more value in parlays but I am avoiding it. Because I'm not good with group of bets and only one loss there, you're out.
While in straight bets, it won't affect your other bets if you ever have them. But the odds aren't that way higher if added altogether.
So compared to parlay bets, it's a choice of those who have more knowledge to the sports that they are betting.
But if someone who just wants to casually have fun and have hope of getting some profits, straight bets are way to go.
