How Many Legs Should an MLB Parlay Bet Have for Optimal Results?

Question

What is the optimal number of legs for an MLB parlay bet to maximize chances of winning?

Answer 1

The optimal number of legs for an MLB parlay bet is two or three. This is because the odds are more manageable, and the probability of winning is higher compared to parlays with more legs. While you can consider a four-leg parlay if the odds for each player are extremely high (like -2000), it's generally recommended to stick to two or three legs to maintain a balance between potential returns and the likelihood of the bet succeeding.

Tried this last night and it worked, one of the legs got scratched because of an injury so the payout was 1/3 instead of 2/3’s… but still worth trying again especially with some books that offer parlay boosters

Draft Kings does a lot of 3 plus leg parlay profit boosts so this could work out well.

I think the only way to bet in game parlays is to make all your easily attainable . For example if you are picking a under on the total score of the game dont pick under 4 runs, pick under 12 runs..yes theres alot more juice on the under 12, but its easily attainable. Then if you want to get better odds in your favor just add another attainable bet...i have been doing ok at it...but lets be really your not going to win um all when your doing 5,6,7 leg parlays..
