In general, it is not wise for sports bettors to bet parlays. They generally pay less than playing the games separately. If two games are played at -110, the payout with 2 wins is greater than a parlay paying 2.6 to one.

But, there is one time when parlays are good. This is when they are correlated. Parlays can be correlated for many reasons - A big spread and an under, a first and second half, one games outcome effecting the meaning of another, etc.

Based on the playoff scenarios, next weekend, there are a number of parlays that should be played. In all cases, after the first game, a team in the second game will know it either has a chance to make the playoffs (Hence playing that team) or no longer has any chance (Hence playing the other team)

These are all very highly correlated.
