don't get caught up on the correlation semantics (there is none) simple math tells you that for every 4 bets you'll win 1 and lose 3 thats -$230 every 4 wagers.
This does not apply to Viejodinosaur who is the exeption to the mathematical probabilities that govern the rest of us mortals. Viejo will make us all poor with his 1+1=3 approach. "Viejo prestame cinco dolares"

with standard $100 bets
total risk is $400, catch one, win $260 + the $100 returned= lose $40. This would be accurate for parlaying unrelated bets, like two different sides, and the picks are 50% type random plays
There is definite correlation with spreads over 30% of the total, and they will win much better than 25% of the time, thus books don't take them, or void them later if you win ( Sportsbook.com).
The plays aren't equally distributed in correlated parlays.
17.5 point spread, and 31.5 total for example.
It would be closer to this :
Dog and under... 35%
Fav and over ... 35%
Dog and over... 20%
Fav and under... 10%
The first two are profitable, you can blindly play both of them on the same game... if the book will take it, AND pay it.
Thank you Doug for bringing some elaboration of numbers here instead of insults and simple math.
I will bet you these parlays all day and will make you a poor man....
VD, bear with me... May have something for us! More info coming tonight by 7pm est.
If you get a chance list the ones that would be in for CFB this week before then. The WK line seems best so I'll try a sample at this place by then.
not a good one the one we would bet would be kan -20 1/2 and ov 30 first half and fla int + 20 1/2 and un 30 first half...this one is for starters.....how much you want?Sample VD
