3 team parlays VS straight bets

[jwunderdog]

A proven 54% handicapper gives you 4 plays a day.

Round Robin 3 team parlays -6-1 payout or 4 straight bets -110?

What is better over 300 plays? Looks to me like round robin but might be missing something?

parlay is better


the 6-1 parlay payout is slightly better than the 10-11 payout on straight bets

also, since you know you have an advantage at 54%, you "compound" your winnings by parlay, improving on the performance over straight bets


if you have a total of $100/day to split among the plays, I think the straight bets would win you $3.40/day and the parlay would win you $5/day

of course your round robin is highly correlated, and parlays add variance anyway, so you might want to drop your bet size. Real easy to run into lots of 3-team parlay losers in a row
