WHEELING
On more tid-bit on the "wheel" which has been discussed at some length in this thread. The odds on a parlay where both sides are [-110] are 13 to 5 or 14 to 5, depending on where your action is laid.
This is 2.6 to 1. You lay 100 to win 260 at 13 to 1 or 100 to win 280 at 14 to 5.
In this weeks match play event , you were getting players at much higher odds than that, so a winning parlay of 2 players would pay MORE than 13 or 14 to 5.
So, assuming you picked a winning golfer - lets use Faxon - for the first 1/2 of each wheeled bet - lets assume he is even [-110].
You then parlay Faxon with every other player in the field, knowing you will lose 1/2 of your bets.
For example, parlay Faxon and Player A in the first match, and Faxon and player B in the first match. A or B will lose, so you are out one unit. But you will WIN the 2nd parlay for a minimum of 2.6 units [at -110 odds] - but more than likely it will be much higher than 2.6 units. Naturally you would think that a reasonable number of lower seeds would upset higher seeds, as happened this week...
Thus, if you can be successful with the main pick, and have the guts to place 62 bets the first round, you will lose 32 units - there is no juice on parlays - but you will WIN 32 parlays, which by my calculations will far exceed the 32 units.
This opportunity does not arise very often, and I don't think it works in the normal type of "match" plays offered in a normal tournament.
I may try this at 5 Dimes or Olympic, where minimum bet is quite low, if the opportunity arises...
