Default Re: Long Run and Parlays Questions

I'm sure other people can elaborate on this more, but I think the important points are:

a) even if you can pick well enough to profitably parlay picks, chances are if you bet them individually it would be MORE +EV. I would wager that there is something about parlays in the FAQ, although I can't state that for sure.



b) 56% picks are indicative of a very good handicapper. someone who consistently picked at 56% would be able to make money betting straight picks regardless, so it would only be a matter of figuring out how much more you could make parlaying which would be a simple mathematical exercise (which I believe would show you actually make less.)
