So is max pay out on a parlay 5k or if you bet a parlay at 1000 and the pay out is over 5k are our paying the full amount or just up to 5k?
I'm just going to copy/paste the rules from the OP.
Amount Per Bet• The maximum amount I will pay out on a negative line is 1,000
• The maximum amount you may wager on a positive line is 1,000
• The maximum amount you may wager on a parlay is 1,000Parlay Rules• Parlays must have a minimum of
two valid picks. If one line is invalid for whatever reason (such as if I am not taking bets on that game), then the whole parlay is invalid.
• You may not have both a ML and spread bet for the same game in one parlay. This is invalid.
• If a pick pushes, then the parlay will bump down one level (a 3-teamer becomes a 2-teamer, etc.)
• Parlays can win up to 5,000 fg.
• A betting line can only be used once among all parlays. If you accidentally use a line more than once, only the first valid parlay will count.
• Parlays use the following calculator:
http://www.vegasinsider.com/parlay-calculator • There is no disqualifying payout amount per the calculator; 5k is just the most you'll receive from me. So you can, according to the calculator, wager 1k to win 10k, but the most you'll receive from me for that wager is 5k fg.
• Parlays must have a specific wager amount; if they do not, they are void. If you say "max" on a parlay, then you are wagering 1k because 1k is the max wager. I will not calculate blown parlays to figure out the lowest amount to win 5k; it is on you to come up with an amount to wager and to make that wager explicit in your post.• You are welcome to combine NFL, NBA, and/or NHL games within one parlay (refer to my other threads for the day). Check to make sure I am taking bets in that sport first (I don't do every NFL game).
Long story short, saying "max" on a parlay always equals 1k. So if you want to wager anything less than 1k, don't say max; say a specific amount.
