That's the only reason for that bet. I'mma be marking out for Taker as per always.

But I want the prestige of winning.

although I'm not well versed in betting, so someone else should if they can

I don't have experience with parlays but after reading the wiki I'm pretty sure it's scarcely tougher than calculating the normal odds you just pipeline the bet through all the odds in sequence but make the bet fail if one of the bets in the Parlay fails.

So for instance if someone bet $10000 on a Parlay of Taker and Kane and it worked you'd pay out:

($10000)*(10/9)*(13/3)

(you add one to each ratio to signify getting the original money back)

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

That's a simple enough formula. I can manage that.

Parlays are now GO!

Lopen gets an extra $500 Jakyl Bucks for explaining it to me.

If you are changing your wagers, you can either edit your original post or delete and repost. I'm fine either way.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

Someone wants me handle Parlays?

If you can give me a second opinion to verify that Lopen's formula works, that would suffice.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

Just use this

Voltch have you even tried using that

It works on point spread style parlays

What exactly am I supposed to put in the "Teams/Prices" field?

--
Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.
http://bryandanielson.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/photo3.jpg

*Need to use decimals to make that work.

--
But it's cool.

Oh never mind. Yeah, if you decimalize all the ratios (and multiply by 100) it works too.

6000 on Punk/Taker/Orton


4000 on Cena/Team K2/Team Ace

You can even use the american odds and put in like the +/- in the appropriate sections.

But uh

Yeah that calculator confirms I was right. I'd personally just do the math-- it's probably quicker than converting all your odds to decimals and filling out that form for everyone.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

You can convert UK odds to american odds fairly easily.

Oh wait, now I found American odds. I didn't realize Bodog changed their site to Bovada.

But in case there's any difference, let's just stick with these.

And yeah, I can already see that they have Cody Rhodes as the favorite in his match.

Thank you, Eddie Guerrero.

Okay I'm still legitimately insane, but this time I made it work!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiUlpNx40qoHdHJ2NTdqTXc2RmRsRWlFOTl0NV94d3c&rm=full#gid=0

So basically - I got kinda bored ("kinda"), and started wondering if there was a good way to keep track of and have excel evaluate multiple parlays and straight bets for a large pool of betters. I do not have the answer of if theres a good way yet, but damnit theres a way!

This is absolutely not elegant or pretty, but I made it as both a test of using google docs and to learn some excel tricks. I really don't even care if anyone uses or even looks at this I just wanted to make it damnit. Maybe I'll run a betting series for something in the future who knows

oh also lopen you have 500 bucks unbet due to your explanation of parlays to jakyl!

Not the wisest bet, but screw it.
