What do you consider GOOD parlay odds?

[Phil Turcotte]

I place less than a half dozen parlays a year that are more than 4 teams, so I guess I never really paid strict attention to the odds on the 6/7/8 gamers. What do you consider good odds on these bets? For instance I compared my new account at Carib with WS.

Carib

6 40-1
7 80-1
8 160-1
9 320-1
10 640-1


WS

6 40 to 1
7 75 to 1
8 100 to 1
9 150 to 1
10 300 to 1


What kind of odds should I be looking for?

SIA's payouts are 1.91-1 for 1 teamer (19.10 on a $10 bet, or $11 wins $10),
1.91*1.91 for 2 teamer
1.191*1.91*1.91 for a 3 teamer
etc.

This gives (roughly)
48-1 on 6 teamers
92-1 on 7 teamers
167-1 on 8 teamers
320-1 on 9 teamers
etc.

I did a post on these in the NCAA B forum about a month ago where I went into the math. If you can pick games at better than a 54% clip, playing the parlays at SIA is more profitable for you.
