All 15 MLB home-teams win for the first time in history and someone actually parlayed them

Yesterday was a good time to be a square.

For the first time in the 30-team era, all fifteen MLB home teams won. For once in your life you wish you took a moment to lock in the most degenerate and square combination of games ever, right? Well someone in Australia actually did it.

 

The Parlay

Alright, time to stop lying. He only parlayed 14 of the 15 teams. Sue me, it would have taken up too much space in the title to specify that. No seriously, sue me. Call your lawyer right now, I dare you.

An Australian bookmaker (Sportsbet.com.au) revealed that one of their punters (bettors, for all of you Americans) had parlayed 14 of the home-teams yesterday. He converted $5 into $7,000.

Incase you are wondering, those are +140,000 odds (or 1400/1). Not bad. Why he didn’t throw in the fifteenth home team is beyond me. He probably had some bad experience with whatever team that was in the past, and did not want them to disrupt the Year of the Square. There were no afternoon games, so that had to be the only explanation. For those of you who are curious, the full 15-legger would have came out to around +300,000 odds (or 3000/1).

 

Lets Remember…

Of course, everyone wants to dream about hitting the big parlay, and having a ton of money on it to boot. The thing that we need to take away from this report is that its more fun to read about other people winning them, than it is to spend a ton of money trying to be that person. Unless you find a way to parlay correlated events (which is something I will have multiple articles written about in the coming months), than its always a waste to do so. The sportsbook will win around $30 for every $100 that you stake on parlays throughout your career. Let it be.

1400/1 odds are great, but this is the first time in history that this has happened. Do not waste money chasing a repeat. Tomorrow will be the first time in history that a home team wins on August 12th, 2015. Think about that…
