And we’re back…. I’m going to wipe the slate clean again, but at the end of the last run in 2024, we were in the green for both Underdog and Safe picks.
To be clear, the goal in the Underdog parlay is to beat the odds, not necessarily to turn a profit. The goal in the Safe parlay is not only to beat the odds, but also to make a profit.
Though one of our last parlays got marred by a bad weight miss, we’re going to continue with the same rules, but I’m thinking of making the bet amount variable in the future…
