At least you're not striking out like the Astros have. I think they've struck out 43 times in 3 games

The long-term odds don't get worse. If 10,000 people placed 2 single bets a day for a year and 10,000 people placed 1 2-way parlay a day for a year, they should both come out the same.

The only difference is in exchange for accepting a loss 3 days out of 4 instead of every other day, you might feel happier on the day you won.

There's nothing else to talk about but the lineup.

So..... Your parlay is more interesting and relevant.

Hey, don't underestimate our ability to strike out!!!

random math lesson: how to calculate the payoff from a parlay.

First, convert every bet into a factor. If its +, then divide by 100 and add 1. If its -, divide 100 by that and add 1.

(e.g. +105 -> (105/100) + 1 = 2.05, -110 -> (100/110) + 1 = 1.909)

Then multiply your bet by each factor, and subtract your bet.

x=bet; A, B, C = factors in a 3-way parlay; y = what you win.

(x*A*B*C) - x = y

...Hey, at least we aren't the Astros!

In Vegas a couple of weeks ago I witnessed a guy hit 4 Aces on a $25 video poker max bet and win $4000 so he goes to the sportsbook and places a $1000 3 teamer on the NCAA tourney and I ask him why a parlay.He says because if I hit it'll pay around $7000 to which I say that took some guts I would've went on a straight up if I was betting a grand.

Needless to say next morning I see same guy and ask how's that parlay work out to which he says it didn't but oh well I had a grand to spare. :spock:

C'mon Alice....how bout a hit Alice????

Glass half full:

ROFL

OK, I'll be back at around 5 to either bitch or enjoy the afterglow of the first step towards 160-2

I love parlays. Sometimes you just know. I hit a 7 teamer a few years ago in the NCAA tournament. Too bad I only bet like $10.

I am going to go for the White Sox broadcast today. Maybe that will bring better luck.

I told you not to underestimate our ability to strike out!

Two more strikeouts by Esky and Butler.

3 shit at bats.
