Just curious, does anyone here bet on big multis with only very short prices?

E.g. today:

Leg 1
Indiana Pacers +8.5
Detroit Pistons @ Indiana Pacers

Leg 2
Los Angeles Clippers +21.5
Los Angeles Clippers @ Washington Wizards

Leg 3
Miami Heat +16.5
Miami Heat @ Charlotte Hornets

Leg 4
Oklahoma City Thunder +12.5
Oklahoma City Thunder @ Philadelphia 76ers

Leg 5
Orlando Magic +16.5
Portland Trail Blazers @ Orlando Magic

Leg 6
Toronto Raptors
Brooklyn Nets @ Toronto Raptors

Leg 7
Utah Jazz +15.5
Utah Jazz @ Boston Celtics

Leg 8
Atlanta Hawks +17.5
Atlanta Hawks @ Memphis Grizzlies

Leg 9
Chicago Bulls +18.5
Chicago Bulls @ Milwaukee Bucks

Leg 10
New Orleans Pelicans +12.5
New Orleans Pelicans @ Denver Nuggets

Multi Paying: $2.83

Why would you do this?

Unless you think there's an edge on each individual leg, or the events are somehow correlated, or there's a promo rewarding multis without T&Cs that prevent this, it's no better or worse than any other dart throwing method.

Hahaha... have either of you tried this method? How can you be so sure that it's terrible?

Think about it like this... Combining a bunch of 'outcomes unlikely to lose' together and you get a better ROI if they all come through. There will be times when one or two of the legs fail, but that's the 'variance' of the method. You work with a bankroll and come out on top in the end. I see it as being similar to poker.

For argument's sake, I will keep a running tally here for the next 10 days of making bets like this and if my bankroll is less than $1000 I will accept defeat.

I'm not saying it's the best idea ever... but before shutting it down, I think it's worth testing a hypothesis.

Starting with tomorrow:

Cue more responses about how dumb I am and this will never work

If you place negative EV bets, you lose money.

If you multi negative ev bets, you lose money really quickly.

As was said above.

You multi when using promos
Or you multi a string of +ev bets together.

Ah yes, but then of course youll prove us all wrong with your 10 day bet record.

Show me your idea that works, Einstein?

Stake: $100

This multi failed because the Rockets somehow lost.

I found the problem in your model, it's the Houston Rockets.

Maybe try betting parlays with all huge underdogs instead?

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me! Houston Rockets lol

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

Back into the model now.

0/2 so far. Haters are loving it.

This is seriously "run-bad"... To lose a dead cert line bet by half a point hurts. Honestly, for F*CK's sake. I know it seems now like "you guys were right, this is a bad idea" - but all of these multis have lost by one leg only, and I still believe in the method.

Just trying to rebuild the bankroll with a "low variance" option here.

Not true.

For what its worth you should probably listen to the people that say 'a series of -EV bets combined cannot become a +EV bet' before you lose your remaining 700 dollars; try and find +EV bets instead.

But i'm down for the sweat to watch your thread, gl!

Enlighten me, please, champion. If you're going to say that then I suggest you back it up. By my reckoning what I said IS true.

Bankroll is now $740. Starting to have my doubts about this method too, but I'm sticking with it. I've lost money in worse ways in the past.

I think I'll just let the remaining money ride on some multis tonight and accept that if it all fails then it wasn't the best idea.
