Sorry, this needed it's own thread even with the other parlay thread. Hopefully we get some solid stories.
It can be a 10 teamer, some huge dogs, whatever it took to get you a nice payout.
I hit on a huge three team parlay this March during the NCAA tourney with a $50 bet booked at the Bellagio. I can't remember the exact lines, so forgive the mild inaccuracy. I had SD +450 over UConn, Siena +375 over Vandy, and Miss St -2.5 over Oregon. We left the strip during these games and went to a friend's house on Lake Las Vegas to watch and party without the crowds (they hired bartenders). SD won first and I got pretty excited and sparked a large joint, took an oxycodone, and started pounding the booze (harder). I went to the movie theater (in the house) to watch the games, and about 30 minutes into the Miss St/Oregon game everything starts spinning. I sneak out to the bathroom assuming I'm going to hurl, but it doesn't happen. I give myself a few minutes lying down on the floor to gather myself, and obviously proceed to pass out (I think it's about 3pm at this point...really don't know). My buddy had been hunting for me for about an hour before he found me snuggling the travertine floors in a puddle of drool. He starts laughing, gives me a quick kick in the ribs to wake me up, and proceeds to tell me that he thinks my parlay might have won but he can't remember who I had. I pulled my ticket out of my wallet and show him and he says we should go to the Bellagio so I can collect the $2467 payout. I'm still groggy as hell at this point, but he got my attention. If you think I got wasted earlier in the day (you know, when I passed out), you should have been at the Bellagio that night. I didn't even get to cheer for it, so I had to make up for that! -
I hit a $50 reverse once. It was badass.
-
I hit an 6 team parlay for $10.00 once. It was in NFL and I had underdogs moneylines in it and I think it was for around $2,200. It was pretty stellar.
I once hit 9 out of ten in a college basketball parlay sheet at the local bar. It only paid $125.00. -
10 teamer for 800-1, bet $5 and got $4000, but I had to fill out a tax form =(
-
I hit a 6 teamer once including three underdog MLs. It's most memorable because it was a Saint/Jags game a while back ... Situation was this:
Saints +1.5 down by 7. 3-5 seoncds on the clock (it was last play of game) on their own 20-30 yard line. The Saints pull some ridiculous multiple lateral play and score. Carney shanks the EP and they lose by 1. I cover for the win. WEEEEEEEEE -
I will go with my 10 team parlay from November 30, 1991. Last game was SDSU vs Miami. I had SDSU +26.5, final score 39-12.
Andy Trakas can always SMFD and LMB. 17 years later the program still hasnt recovered from this guys extra point and FG ineptness.
edit : sorry didnt realize this was about WINNING parlays. nevermind. i dont have any of those stories. -
I dont have any good ones because I dont bet sports, but my buddy had $1000 on some betting website that he got from hitting some stupid parlay so he lost $500 on ridiculous endings in 5 college basketball games. We are talking all the games beating him by last second threes or missed free throws, shit like that.
He gets pissed throws his last $500 on a 6 teamer including over under on the broncos ravens mondany night game, broncos covering, 2 hockey games and 2 college basketball games. So he cruises through the broncos games and the hockey games earlier in the day and both of the college basketball games start at the same that night. Long story relatively shorter he covers the first game by a half a point and missouri needs to win by 2.5 they are up 1 with 1.5 seconds left the defense fouls right on the in bounds mizzo drains both free throws and he covers the 2.5 with .2 seconds left for $21000.
Needless to say we went to the bar and 8 of us ran up a $1500 bar tab on him. That was just a ridiculous evening. That was the most fun I have ever had sweating a basketball game. -
there was a halfass bookie in town in 95-96 and he used the old once a week publication to track his lines... well we realized he didnt know when there were time changes... so we called in a 3 team 100x parlay on three games that were already finished... he had no idea and paid it out... not quite as sweet as some of your 10 teamers but it was a "lock"
-
I parlayed a $50 moneyline bet on the patriots during their run up to beating the rams (bet them every round moneyline for increasing amount) into a few g's. then the giants lost to the mf angels. gg me
-
I hit 5 4 teamers to end college fball reg season last year, then hit a 4 teamer the 1st week of college fball this year! WEEE and then i lose it all

End of May 06 I had a friend call me and wanted advice on how to make bets on Bodog.He stated he was bored on his dayoff and wanted to bet some small time baseball parlays.I said "fuck it",Ill lay some bets down with you and Ill come over to your house and well cheer our teams on.I went onto hitting a 6 teamer for 3k,10 teamer for 13k,and won 3k on 3 straight up 1k bets.I also missed a 12 team parlay by 1 team(Braves/Hudson)for an additional 36k.Im a novice occasional sportsbettor at best.
All in all I won 19k on a day that I never wouldve bet on if it hadnt been for my friend asking for advice on how to make sportsbets online.I gave my friend 1k for his end. -
kinda like a parlay i hit a pick 4 at the track and the odds of the winning horses were 4-1/8-1/10-1/14-1....total bet of $48 paid 5500
-

I used to go to the Stardust after work during football season and fill out 1/2 point cards like they were going out of style. No real handicapping or serious breaking down of games, just $2 a piece. Luckily at Stardust, they used to pay 850 for 1 which now is non-existent.
For some reason I put $10 on one ticket that ended up losing one game and would have paid $8500 (F Indy losing to Denver) but another $2 ticket I had went the distance. The last game was Green Bay vs. Oakland on Monday Night when Favre's dad had just died. I had time to hedge but only had $100 to put on the Raiders, so the $2 returned a total of $1,598.00. Not bad for two dollah. -
I hit an 8 teamer on bodog last football season and won like $1160 on $10 bet.

Damn I was just searching on Covers for a thread where this one guy got owned when the last leg of his $50 12-teamer went up in flames when San Diego lost on the last play.
I did find a good article on hedging though, check it out if you want:

August 21st, 1994 hit a $2 trifecta at Del Mar for $3257.60. 6-1, 13-1 and 36-1 in that order no box, straight wager.
Proceeded to pick up seeeeb and went and got wasted. Solid effort. -
Well I have hit a ton of parlays(and lost a ton more), here is a 5 teamer still alive for tomorrow night. Go Dallas. When doing a parlay I always throw in a sunday or monday night game leaving me hedging outs. This started as a 5 teamer but is a 4 teamer due to Car. push. 100 to win something like 1200 now.
