PARLAY QUESTION!!!!!!!

[WORM]

I HAVE CLEVELAND AND OAKLAND IN A 6 TEAMER AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL COME DOWN TO THOSE TWO TEAMS TONIGHT WITH THE
CARDS, ASTROS, DODGERS, TORONTO WINNING

SO DO I BET BIG ON SEATTLE THINKING THAT OAKLAND IS GOING TO WIN OR DO I WAIT IT OUT.

ADVISE PLEASE

THAT'S A HUGE gamble... can't really hedge with two games going. PRAYER may help...

I agree with the logic though, SEA is more apt to beat CLE than DET to beat OAK.

Those making their bed within the earth...

Parlay thought...although MLB scheduling makes it tough at times...look at playing your parlay's as follows...

Play early games with the LATE LARGE FAVORITE. (Games in which the out-comes will be determined PRIOR to the final late game).

Then hedge your parlay while opening up a potential middle by playing the big dog against your final large late favorite on the run-line (+1.5 runs with it's odds).

You can play this hedge to win (no matter who actually wins the game) for whatever amount you want to "lock-in" for profit, all while (now) taking no risk and maximizing your potential reward (middle/large favorite winning by 1 run).

Just a thought on HOW to potentially play a MLB parlay...without screaming and/or prayer?
