Bodog Beat

Summer is officially here, and our big baseball parlay contest is heating up with a pair of Illinois natives topping this week’s standings at press time: Panagiotis from Skokie (121 points) and Gayle from Highland (118 points). Each of those points represents a bet in a winning parlay made during the week ending Monday at midnight Eastern. Prizes are being handed out each week between now and the end of August.

When it comes to playing a typical MLB parlay, many sharps prefer to keep it small, taking the favorite/underdog and over/under on a single matchup. This is certainly the most efficient approach from a research perspective, since the information you collect handicapping this one game can be applied to both bets. But if you’re a couple points shy of winning one of our valuable contest bonuses, it’s suddenly more worth the risk to push the size of your parlay.

Join the MLB Parlay Contest and win great prizes every week!
