I logged onto the guest account there to run some numbers on potentials payout there asnd they said at least on the guesr page I was running that the max parlay bet is $50 yet their review on SBR states nthat is is $500. Anyone have any info. for me on this? Didn't know if that was just for the guest thing or what it was. Thanks

Hi. I believe the max parlay bet is 3300.

It also says:

Each distinct parlay is limited to a $100,000.00 maximum payout.

Hmmm, $3,300? Geeze, I was just hoping it was $500 like most places.

I don't do big parlays on speads anyway as that is near impossible, I was just looking at money line parlays. Although when vIfirst starfted this, I was arrogant enough to think 6 and 7 team parlays were not that hard on spreads. I learned quickly I didn't have a clue.

I figured it had to be more than $50 though.

Actually I Think The Limit On Parlays Is Based Om A Max Payout Of 100,000 Not A Base Bet Limit.

LOL...My first book was bodog and I use to bet crazy 8 team parlays all the time. I think I won 1 8 team money line parlay.

Apple won a big parlay on time. I think it was a $5 parlay that paid $1700.

I'm not a fan of parlays or teasers.

Yeah, i was a dumbass when I did it. Actually, the 4 year anniversary is coming up this NCAA tourney. I wish I could go back and look at those tickets. I've definately come a long way.

But listen to this, OK, back then I had no idea that these sites and forums were even around and the book I was playing at was sportsbooks.com. At the time, I had no idea they were like a D or something at SBR and I didn't know there was a statfox.com or any capping sites like that. So I am just looking at these games doing dumbass 11 team and 8 team parlays and all of that shit just briefly thinking about the game in my mind and asking myself "Can XX team beat ZZ team by 12 points. Haha, what a dumbass way to cap games but I learned and got over that shit very fast. I kinda wonder that if I did get lucky then, how crazy would I go if I won some absurd about of money and then got stiffed. My God, I'd seriously fly down there and go nuts which would probably lead to my arrest and eventual assasination.

Because of my experience and I know I'm not alone, any newbie that comes along I always try to let them know this story because on the surface, it looks pretty easy to just pick 7 or 8 ganmes out of the 300 that are lined on a saturday. Funny looking back at it, but that was definately learning from my mistakes. I bet that book loved me.

Yes. That is a million dollar post. I think every newbie is the same way. I was the same way, but I was betting through a local. I would do the same as you when it came to capping. I was so dumb that I would go on the stupidest usatoday stats on games. I'd be like "Oh shit, the bears are 5-0 on Sundays when the other team has blue jerseys! They will forsure cover 7.5!"

LOL....God I had no clue..

Good post TGO. 20 years ago I thought I had this all figured out and was going to make a bundle. How naive I was. Found out I didn't know beans. Now I have it figured out for sure. LOL. Not making a bundle but a nice little income supplement. Sure do miss the neteller and pinny days though. That has put quite a dent in profits and activity.
