In March in college basketball I hit a ten teamer, no shit! but it was all moneylines..still a longshot at that. It paid me 20:1..if i remember correctly
What is the biggest Parlay you ever hit?
- Thread starter Its Gravy
- Start date
I hit a couple of 6 teamers in NFL last year. What was the payout on that 10 team if you don't mind me asking?
not exactly the same, but.....
1999 pre-season 4-4team parlays in a row, one of them a 3consolation due to a tie.
and, a special kick me in the ass:
had a big 4 parlay, last game on monday night, hit the first 3 on sunday, denver was playing i dont remember who, laying 7 i think. i went for all the marbles and lost by a point. never played elway after that, as they could have scored at will and purposely low balled it to the end, as per his pattern that year.
as a matter of fact, i haven't played many more parlays after that one.

football: 7 teamer last year at AcesGold 127-1 ( was 8 teamer reduced by 1 push ) $20 paid $2540
golf: 2 players ( to lead Ryder Cup points ) 503-1 odds $5 paid $2515 at SIA
I never play more than 3 teams when I bet more than a token amount. Have hit 9/10 several times in hoops but rarely bet more than 3 team parlays!

Hit a 10-teamer off of the parlay card ending with the Montana-Elway Monday Night game. $10 paid $1,500.
It was my second weekend gambling ever. Couldn't believe how easy it was.

Buckeye,
Do they always offer "fair" odds on parlays like that. To get 127-1 on a 7-teamer cant be any more fair for the better since there are only 128 ways to parlay 7 teams. I assume the 8-teamer would have paid 255-1??
Just curious since most books love to take a huge cut from parlays.
I hit a $10 6 Teamer during the basketball season. I made 120 betting the 6 teams seperately and made close to 1K that night I remember. I have hit 3 and 4 teamers often but that 6 teamer was nice and I immediately ca$hed out my account - took about 750 of it out and spent it on Christmas presents and a few things for me as well
.
Went somethin like this:
Akron over some team (think it was Rice)
Dallas Mavs over Atlanta
Notre Dame over St Johns
one of Rogers famous totals
Houston over Ny Knicks
Georgetown over somebody - forget who??

had a 9 teamer March 2000 go down to the last game with an over 126...3 min left i needed 7 points..i only got 1 point. 300:1 payout, and that crap happened
Two years ago, I only had $8 left in one of my accounts so I bet an NBA 8-teamer. Paid 150-1 and I ended up with $1208 in my account. I rarely play parlays. Since then I couldn't hit a 3-way to save my life.
Early in the baseball season I had a 7 Team parlay. I pretty much got lucky in the game. I had them posted on a post when I did it.. anyways.. to make a short story long. All my plays hit and I had Cleveland and Cleveland Under 10 against the yankees. Anyways.. I had everything locked up but I lost on the over as the score was 7-4 in the 7th inning with cleveland winning. Then the downpoors came and the game was called making it a 6 team parlay and I hit it! I had $25 and it paid me back.. I think $1100 or somewhere around there.
I've hit smaller ones.. between 300-700 range a few times.. I usually pick all early games and then 1 late game and if all the early games win.. I'll back myself up and bet opposite on the last game so I gaurantee myself %50 winnings. ANyone else do that?

THAT ACE COULD NOT HAVE HELPED YOU!
The best par that I ever hit didn't make me a penny. Here's how it went.
I'd got a reputation among friends for picking a few winners. One afternoon a friend of mine called and said he was in trouble and needed an eight team par to get him out. I told him that there was no one in the world that could give him an eight teamer and deffinately not me. He said that he would read me the lines and for me to tell him the play. We did and the danm thing hit. Paid 160 to 1.
The best I've hit is a couple of six teamers. Three weeks ago I hit two 5 teamers on the same night. The best pay-out I've had. They paid a little over 80-1 plus the straight bets.

KotysDad,
This is the major reason I play at AcesGold for NFL sides. On Fridays they have NO JUICE WAGERING on NFL sides. This includes +100 straights and "no juice parlays" like the one I hit. An 8 teamer would indeed have paid 255-1, aka true odds, as all parlays played that day on NFL sides pay true odds ( no juice ) from 2 to 10 teams. They are unique in extending their juice deal to parlays, most only have such deals on straights ( like carib's -102 Tue ). A few outs that don't have straight juice deals do give close to no vig parlays.

TeddyKGB, like the handle BTW, I do sometimes "intentionally" make the "back end" bet with layoff possibilities in mind. In general, this is stupid - as laying it off, or hedging, gives the book more juice. You are far better off cutting the parlay one play short and betting the last game straight with some portion of the parlay's profit, instead. ( This is true for spread parlays but not totally true for $line parlays where they don't screw you on the juice )
The times it is better to include the last play is if you are doing it to "lock in" the spread/line at the time you make the parlay ( I like to make my plays pretty early to insure against negative line moves ) as you are "taking a lead" that it will move against you in the interum and you don't want that. ( Either the spread will move against you or the $line will before the other plays in your parlay have been decided ). This is what I try, to "lock in" an early line that I like with the possibility of a "layoff middle, or layoff scalp". It doesn't always work, obliviously, but it is far "wiser" to layoff/hedge for a scalp or middle than to do it otherwise where you are giving the out juice for no good reason. I also look for "2nd half" middles on the backend of parlays as those can be a wise hedge that can be very profitable. In general, I advise against hedging, but some pre-thought "could" make it a smart move. Just my 2 cents!

bet an eight team parlay strung out over a week in hoops and pro foots. won all but the last won, and had the raiders on the money line over the ravens to win 3k. why i didn't hedge that i'll never know. I KNEW BETTER. just plain stupid and greedy that day. i'm still kicking myself in my fat butt for that f**ckup!!!
