How happy (or miserable) should you be about your favorite college football team? We came up with a foolproof formula (of course you'll all agree with it). Georgia fans should be ecstatic. Stanford fans? Well, you went to an excellent academic school.

We simulated what your bank account would look like if you kept betting parlays. Here we consider a five-leg parlay with -110 odds per leg. And we assume you're no better than random chance. (You probably aren't.) You might get lucky every so often, but breaking even in the long run is very hard.

The sportsbooks’ advantage is obvious in the data: Operators bring in far more revenue for every dollar wagered on these bets than they do straight bets. Parlays account for about one-third of the total amount wagered, but they generate roughly two-thirds of the sportsbooks’ revenue.

But parlays *heavily* favor the operators — not because of the low win rate but because of the math going on behind the scenes. As legs are added to the bet, the chance of winning drops faster than the growth of the potential payout. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/inter...
