BEST LINES: 888 Sports
Posted at 10:45 AM EST.
NOTE: We understand that most people cannot make these wagers because of region restrictions, sportsbooks restrictions or whatever other reason. These wagers are only available at 888SPORT and we've receoived numerous emails about it. We are therefore not including these wagers in our official results. We are removing all past results and will keep a running total going in this thread every day instead.
Wednesday, June 12 (0-9 -9.00 units)
Year-to-date 11-63 (-24.00 units)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A correlated parlay is a parlay that is related in such a way that if one of the selections occurs, the other is likely to occur also. In other words, if Philadelphia is -1½ and the total is 8½, if Philly does indeed win, chances are strong that the game will go over the total. Or, if the game goes over the total, chances are very good that the team spotting the -1½ runs will cover. Taking the underdog +1½ and parlaying it with the under is also correlated.
Go to your sportsbook and try and make a two-game baseball parlay with any team spotting -1½-runs and over --- or any underdog taking +1½ runs and under and you will get a message that says the two are related and the bet is not allowed. Sportsbooks do not allow correlated parlays in any sport (NHL would be -1½ and over 5½ for instance), but if you have an account at 888Sport, you can make this bet that sportsbooks do not allow.
When you go to their baseball section, click on the game of your choice and then underneath the game, you will see “Match Parlay”. Click on that and it gives you the options to bet these types of parlays with the payouts.
Please note that we are looking for the best value in these parlays and not trying to predict outcomes. The parlays are correlated and should not be allowed but that doesn’t mean we’re going to win. It means over time we’ll win by finding the best value parlays and not playing one that pays +210 for instance. Also note that we’re not recommending these -1½ teams on their own unless they are in a separate thread.
We’ll post all of our correlated parlays in one thread and all will be for 1 unit.
These parlays are allowed at 888SPORT
The correlated parlays that we’re playing today (June 12) are:
2-team parlay
TAMPA BAY -1½ & over 8½ +310
12:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays more than it should and teh total is actually o9 +100
BOSTON -1½ & over 9½ +330
4:05 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays more than it should.
CLEVELAND -1½ & over 9½ +380
1:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays way more than it should.
PHILADELPHIA -1½ & over 9½ +360
7:05 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays way more than it should.
Toronto -1½ & over 10½ +360
7:05 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays way more than it should and because actual total is o11 -110
PLEASE NOTE: This line changed from this morning until now, as Baltimore was the chalk and being offered at -1½ and over at +390. The value is now Toronto and over but if you already bet Baltimore, do not make this wager.
St. Louis -1½ & over 7½ +260
7:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays more than it should. This game is actually off the board, as Miami has called up Double-A pitcher Jordan Yamamoto and total is likely to be 8. Listed pitchers need not go for these wagers to be valid, which is another flaw by that outfit.
ATLANTA -1½ & over 8½ +250
8:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays more than it should and because the actual total is o9 -105
HOUSTON -1½ & over 7½ +420
8:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays way more than it should.
San Diego -1½ & over 7½ +350
10:10 PM EST. Value because this correlated parlay pays way more than it should.
Total risk here is 7 units.
NOTE: Don't be discouraged by results so far. We are just two weeks in and we are going to start hitting a bunch of these. I promise so don't give up.
