Among other things, Pat confirms what we know about straight bets vs parlays:

Do you recommend I place more straight bets or parlay bets on sporting events?

Bovada_Oddsmaker
Straight bets, definitely. Parlays are popular because of the high payout odds, but straights have historically had a much higher long-term return for players.
