So I have been doing some research tonight about running a parlay card. Here is my idea, just want some feedback.
I work at a high end restaurant as well as attend a private college, I plan on trying out a parlay card for the remainder of the nfl season to see how it goes.
I plan on pushing all bets off to a online book that I have been placing all my bets with for two years. Someone please correct me if im wrong, but as long as I do not get greedy, it will be impossible for me to lose doing this?
1. Will I pass my cards out on Tuesday?
2. Offering less odds then what I am offered online will basically be a freeroll without a possibilty of losing any money?
example: 4 team 10$ parlay will pay 10-1 online but my card will only offer 8-1. So On a win I will win 100$ online but will only have to pay out 80????
I wont scam the lines, I will not offer .5 lines and ties will be a loss.
Can I lose? if I always bet exactly the same bet with each card online?
How do I avoid the chance of someone betting a card and having the line change by the time I get to make the bet online and they win and I lose???
thank you guys, Tony
English is my second language, I hope everyone can understand

If you are willing to do all this legwork, just book the tickets yourself. The odds are you are going to win and as long as you have a small bankroll to cover the few winners, you will come out ahead. Why put your money out online to win a little when you can use your money to a lot? Good luck!

Offering them 10 for 1 (instead of 10 to 1), where you only give them $10 back without the stake for every $1 bet is already giving them terrible odds without changing it to 8-1.
But a lot of people still blindly play 4 team parlays at 10-1 odds. The 3 team parlays online normally pay 6-1, therefore the 4th leg of a 4 team parlay has one risking $7 to win $4 (you are getting a -175 line, instead of -110). You are better off taking the 4th leg of the parlay as a moneyline (if you chose a favorite) or even buying a point or more to get a better return.
