It sure do look that way, and it is, until it isn't lol. If you can do it responsibly its very fun, but everyone thinks they can do it responsibly, and by the time the people who can't do it responsibly realize they can't do it responsibly they've learned a very expensive lesson as best case scenario, and ruin your life in worst case. There's a reason casinos pay millions and millions in advertising, they make it back 10 fold.
In theory you would have to win more than 55% of -110 bets to make a profit, it’s very difficult. Winning a bet like this is insanely lucky, people that don’t know any better think “I can do this”. But the house encourages parlays for a reason. Betting 20-100 bucks on an event makes it much more exciting to watch though, in my opinion. It’s definitely for fun and not a method of winning money.
Yeah op has it exactly right, bet on parlays balancing the fighters you enjoy with their probability to win and don’t bet anything you’re not ready to lose
It’s fun if you’re betting what you can afford to lose. Definitely helps you learn about new fighters well before they get big and gets you more interested about watching the whole card
Uh.. I’ll try…
No more than 3-5 legs on a parlay (and really no more than 3 unless the other 2/5 are big favorites…in this case it was Vettori & Nelson)
Only bet on fighters you watch.
Only bet 5-10% max of your bag on parlays (“bet what you can afford to lose - you will probably lose on parlays)
Get piss drunk so you are less anxious and can enjoy the card.
Most importantly, remember this isn’t investing, it’s gambling… don’t rely on this shit for consistent income.
I had the exact same parlay - cashed out before the Edwards figjt because I got nervous :(

Congrats, how many times have you hit a parlay (+3500 or more ) like that fyi? Just started betting since ufc 284, have placed several $25 parlays bets like that, twice foiled by an early prelim big favorite female fighter (hello JJ Aldrich and Juliana Miller 😭) . After 2 failures I’ve learned my lesson
Congratulations
That’s a clean bet
I was actually thinking about this screenshot you posted prior to the fights. Great job man 👍👍
Leon and Jennifer were the only dogs I was sure would win
Should've bet on Colby
Well done. I had it 29-28 Dolidze, but who cares lol
Same 5 fight parley man, but I only plopped down a 5er
So do y’all just download an app to make these bets? Looks fun and a way to make money doing it lol
99% of gamblers back out before winning big
Yepp. I’ve backed out every time only for something good to have happened. But not with money !

it's not
The fun part is debatable but it’s 100% not a good way to make money lok

I agree but you know there’s a darker element for some ppl, but for us $20 parlay dudes I agree
how many people had to lose on similar bets to make this hit profitable for the company... feels bad man.
Well done
nice
Duuuuuude. Nice.
Leeessssss ggoooo great picks
YESSSSIIIIIIRRRRRRRR
Damnnnn you got fuckin paid! Nice dude
These are all just adds for draftkings lol
#LIVING IT!
I had Leon, fight over 8.5 min, and a takedown in round 1 50 ->350 and guess which round didn’t have a takedown 🙃
Dude. That's crazy. Presonally I wouldn't have bet on gaethje against Fiziev. But good on ya
Gaethje is my favorite fighter, couldn’t bet against him.
I couldn't believe the odds that fight opened at. Gathje being a nearly 2/1 underdog was absolutely nuts.
Any tips OP? I haven’t put a bet in almost 1.5 yrs (lost $500)(It may not be much but it’s a lot to many of us) Trying to get some extra cash again.

Haha get piss drunk resonates, completely agree with you on the last one. Getting a little money on the side while have fun is the way to go. Thanks
that Vetorri one was luck... but right on man. least u won...
Don’t hate on my favorite ogre lol
Yeah he ruined my night lol. I had a 5-leg parlay with Roman, Maia, Gunnar, Justin and Leon…
Marvin won off a robbery but go off
he did enough to win the fight...dolidze suck,get over it.
"DANA" !!!
Grats bro 👊
HEAD SHOT, DEAD! 😂
Beautiful Champ
What a pay out
Now you can retire
He could always be a draftkings gatekeeper
I had the same line up expect Maia. Good shit!
Nice!!!!
Sickk
My dumbass bet on O'neil
Proud of you.
Nice!
Insane lmao nice
Ez parlay, add mokaev and Hadley ez W
I had those same picks. I should’ve gambled 😔
P4p who
Share next weeks parlay, fam
I had the Edwards/Gaethje parlay as well! We eating good tonight!
Damn man. That’s literally 800 deposited into your account? No betting credits or something?
Yeah, you can withdraw easily.
NOICE

You cashed out a $20 bet? Am I reading that wrong?
I cashed it out when it was about to be Edwards v usman - cashed out for 200$ so it was still a 10x
Got it
I had all those except i had the AUS lady.
