Post any bets you would like featured...

Things you may want posted....

How you may want situations handled......

for starters I know @BusSport wanted money lines for remaining nba games....

do we need money lines for all nfl games?

how do we like parlays?
Do we want props? Only proposed props?

Also @BusSport suggested this and I’m on board....


In my opinion, if any part of a parlay pushes, the whole parlay should push.

My reasoning:

Settling a parlay as a loss on a partial push is more severe than actual sportsbooks, which, as you mentioned, would instead take out the pushed portions and recalculate payout from the remaining odds.

On the other hand, settling a parlay as a win even if part of it pushes feels very wrong to me, because the whole concept of a parlay is that you only win if and only if every part of it wins, and not every part won if there was a push. Yeah, that's tough, but that's the risk the bettor takes on for the high payouts.

So I would say, split the difference between win and loss: if any part of a parlay pushes, the whole parlay pushes.

(Also, this has the advantage of not having to worry about remembering to always do half-points.)
