The odds and payoffs shown by Monet show the six teamer to be 14% house edge, while the 7, 8 and 9 teamers show 30% house edges.

Hell, Singer is within .5% of the house with what he does.

Maybe loading up the card with dogs changes the math a little, I'm not really sure. Redietz would know. But I've been under the assumption by reading the Wizard's parlay strategy that the books won't allow you to load up on all dogs.

More power to Monet for hitting the parlays but my big question is why is redietz giving you parlay bettors a pass in this thread?
Well for the six teamer I'm getting a figure similar to the 7,8, and 9 teamers Mickey - about 30% for this one also: (28.6%). 100*(45/63)=71.4%. 100%-71.4% gives 28.6% for the six teamer book edge. I'm not a sports book bettor so maybe I'm missing something and I apologize in advance if my six teamer figure is off. Monet, due to your prowess, you may need to have your wife,friends and relatives start getting your action in at the books, since if they identify you as a sharp you will have trouble getting your bets down for significant money I would think. You're on the front line so you would know best, but just throwing that out there as an armchair quarterback.
I used Monet's posted numbers:

6 team parlay bet 45-1 / 63-1
7 team parlay bet 90-1 / 127-1
8 team parlay bet 180-1 / 255-1
9 team parlay bet 360-1 / 511-1

I thought it was unusual that the 6 team showed just 14% while the others showed close to 30%. My calculator had a brain fart and I didn't catch it. Sorry.
