Matt, being from philly I can honestly tell you NEVER, I mean NEVER lay points with the Eagles on the road. They always play down to their competition and FatBoy McPuke always spits out the bit.

can someone explain parlays? You have to win every bet you make in order to get the payout, right? Do you get better, the same, or worse EV by doing a parlay than doing each bet individually?

Worse. the Best way to bet is to do lots of research and only bet on games that you think the line is off enough to give you a positive expectation over the juice.

Making a parlay like that one is basically burning whatever money you put up. Its probably comparable to entering a MTT w/ 10,000 people in it that only pays 1st place

I believe the ev is worse than betting on individual games but its all about the bigger payout, makes it more fun and its not like sports betting is +ev for many people anyway so f it
