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.
To me it is better to stay stuck to straight bets and avoid parlays, of one is actually seeking to get profit and become somewhat consistent within the world of sport betting, which is something difficult and only a few people manage to do it.
Parlays are okey if one is mainly betting for fun and just wants to feel adrenaline in one's blood, the thrill of the chance of winning big is worth it for the money one could throw away.
To me, betting in parlays are reminiscents to playing slots, very low chances of winning but extra exciting as one gets closer to score big.
