Parlay vouse? Mais whee.
The NBA Playoffs have bern good for a first round, with only a couple of clunker series. But for some of you, that excitement isn’t enough. You need more spice, you need a frisson. You need a chance to win some money betting on the sport you love. BUT you’re also risk averse. You know that when you gamble, one thing that can happen is that you lose. That’s why it’s gambling, after all. Fear not, FanDuel has an offer to appeal to both positions. That is, a “No Sweat Same Game Parlay.”
No, you won’t be negotiating with heavily mascara’d pirates, but rather placing a series of wagers that comprise a single wager, a “parlay” that must all succeed for you to win. The combination of the wagers improves your winnings from success, but also makes it harder for the bet to succeed. (It’s all probability stuff, dull and obviously not relevant to gambling.).
But wait, in this case, if you lose you get “Bonus Bets” back. Now, this isn’t straight cash, but it isn’t a loss either, it’s another chance to make a winning wager.
Now, I’m no one’s idea of a sharp. I’m more of a whimsical fictional pirate who never seems to pirate anything, with lots of mascara and a weird bird, maybe a crow, on my shoulder when it comes to sports wagering. Take this parlay non-advice for what it’s worth: nothing. I’m just here to talk, to inform, to parlay as it were.
Since you’ll actually get your money back, in a form you might use to make safer bets, let’s swing for the fences, or shoot a really deep three pointer with our Same Game Parlay.
You can make these bets on a player to do a number of things, or chop it up into parts you think might hit. For me, I picked Amen Thompson to have a great game, or rather a fairly typical Amen game, Fred VanVleet to record a good number of assists, and Dillon Brooks to hit a few open threes (3).
Here’s my four part FanDuel No Sweat Same Game Parlay:
Fred VanVleet to record 6+ assists +200
Amen Thompson to record a double double (points, rebounds). +410
Dillon Brooks to make three three point shots. +200
Amen Thompson to record two blocks. +178
+7287
That means if you bet $20 on this No Sweat Same Game Parlay, you’d win $1457.40, plus your $20 stake back.
If you are legally allowed to wager on sports where you live, then you could actually make this wager, and possibly win that much money. Or get your stake back as a bonus bet.
