i went spain, draw no bet plus poland draw no bet parlay
Curious why you choose draw no bet over straight up in parlay situations. What's the thinking there? To be honest I'm not clear on the rules either. For it to be declared a no bet do both of your games have to end in a draw? Or is the drawn game taken out of consideration and the rest of the accumulator played out?
it takes some of the risk out. i withdrew most of the money in my account but left in $25 and decided to bet the euros using the draw no bet parlay strategy. as mentioned above, if you go draw no bet instead of a straight win, if the game is a draw, that game just comes out of the parlay. for example, here is what ive done so far
$25 bet
belgium W, draw no bet v ireland
+
iceland W, draw no bet v hungary
+
portugal W, draw no bet v austria
it was bet $25 to win $54.35. if id done straight up win bets, the parlay would have been a loss, since both iceland and portugal drew. instead, i ended up winning $7.46, because belgium won but the other 2 were draws. belgium was -315 to win, with a draw being a no bet.
yesterday, i took my total amount and bet
england W, draw no bet
wales W, draw no bet
it was $32.46 to win $55.21
wales won, england drew. wales ended up being +105 with the win or draw no bet so i ended up with $66.54 total.
i took the $66.54 and bet it on today's game
poland W, draw no bet
spain W, draw no bet
poland won. so if spain wins, it pays $64.11. if spain draws, it pays poland -235.
given the probabilities of draws, but the possibilities of the better team winning, i think this was safer. england should have beat slovakia, but of course it was a pretty boring draw, so i didnt end up losing.
if spain holds on here, i'd have turned my $25 into $130.65 in 3 days of betting without making any huge risky bets.
