yes, each Is a straight bet dependant on the bet prior to it

Please explain how betting the Bulls would be dependent on the Bucks beating the Lakers in every day wagers outside of funding issues.

 

The only way that would ever be remotely applicable is in a playoff race (a handful of games per year if that) and the bet would likely be optimized as a parlay anyway.

it has nothing to do with that.

 

You can get 2/3 wagers in, for example, and only risk the cost of 1.

 

If they first one lost, you can always rebet the 2nd, if it hadn't started, etc

 

It's not that hard to understand why anyone would want to do this

Exactly.  It's not hard to understand.  It's for people with small bankrolls.

 

You can also "risk the cost of 1" in a parlay.

 

What you're saying has absolutely nothing to do with optimal wagering.

Not at all. 

 

It's impossible however to understand how anyone who's goal is winning would do this.

I have messed around looking at IF bets and Reverse and cant seem to make heads or tails

 

looks like with the IF bet you can string 3-4 wagers in a row and if the first 1 or 2 win,pull some $ off the table and let the remainders ride

seems to have a purpose tome

You’re basically doing a 4 teamer parlay with straight wager odds. Which makes no sense.

 

Only broke dick squares bet this way that’s why Brock is a cabbie and not Fishhead

It's Sunday and your looking to get down on some 1PM EST NFL games. You know that it's going to spill over into the 4PM games but you don't have enough loot to bet the 4PM games without the early games paying out. So you execute an "if wager."

This makes sense.

 

But then why not parlay the two games together?

 

BAUS
