7-leg 50-50 parlays have 128 outcomes, so should pay 127 to 1 to be even. On Fanduel 7-leggers pay 91.424 to 1, or only 72% of breaking even. Every leg you add gives you worse odds. Awfully tough to survive very long. Using a 50% boost will actually put the odds in the player’s favor … I assume that is DK’s small loss-leader to keep you playing/addicted.Oh, my other comment: doesn't Draftkings have a recurring "stepped up parlay" promo for college basketball? I see it now, in fact.
A 7-leg parlay is boosted by 50% (and still makes DK money because longshot parlays are really dumb and rarely profitable for the bettor).
So if you are going to do this, you should absolutely be using the boost.
I get a lot of 30% boost offers. If you play a classic 3-leg boost with that 30% boost … the expected payout is in your favor.
Any degenerates stick to the boosts with positive expected value and try to grind it out? I’ve been hovering around even for quite a while now.
