A lot of people started going towards futures more

Maybe they think they have an edge and then trade around it, takes away the daily betting risk


I would think you lose a lot less money just playing longer-term markets

not a bad strategy. if you parlay futures you can get nice returns for a small amount of change risked. A lot of action as well. Good post Gold. Not my deal but I know someone who does. He fares pretty well.

Not a bad strategy to work with built up equity but the vig can be very very high.

It's never good when you can only buy the team to win the future, and not also to lose it as a lot of vig can be hidden there.

Exchanges allow us to calculate that vig, if we want to.

no one wants to bet them. Take up to seven months to resolve. Higher vig -- fanduel typically starts at 5.5% and goes up from there. If no one else is betting them, lot of places don't care to book them. Like betonline only offering $100 limits. Even bookmaker, $2k on the series, $30k on the game. And that's why we should be betting them, because without market forces they're going to be horribly inefficient.

Bet it and forget it

The River55 Knows My Low Risk/ High Return Multi-Sport Future Parlays. It Is Like The Stock Market Because You Look For Value. You Try To Get A Team Early Before Their Odds Go Down. You Also Bet Teams That Are Ahead In Playoff Series With Still Odds Above +2500. There Is Hedging Involved Too To Lock In Some Profit. I Have Been Doing It For Over 4 Years And I Am About Even. I Am A Few Pending Parlays Away From Being Up A Few Thousand.

That was my game plan coach when I didn’t do this as nearly full time as I do now.

Me and the ex always bet $500 to $1k preseason on the Broncos to win the Super Bowl during the three Peyton years. We enjoyed watching them and we always seemed to be able to get The Ticket for free a decade ago before all the streaming services were around.

Finally paid off big time the year they beat the fightin’ Cam Newtons at 10/1 preseason odds.

Also hit a nice one on the Rams to win the NFC at 6/1 first year me and my current girlfriend were together during the no pass interference/Greg The Leg from 57-yards in OT in the conference championship game. Pretty exciting.

You would have to be KVB type to get down on those and win. Dumb mfer like me would just be letting the books hang onto my money for months, and then grade it an L.

I was thinking about taking the Sabres at 16/1 to win the cup a few months back, wish I would have pulled the trigger, that ticket would have some hedge potential for secured profits.

Good work I play totals a lot now season win totals and I like following it all season.
