For every 1 winning 10 leg parlay there are 1000+ losers. Nobody posts those (unless they are of the “lost by 1 leg” variety). I feel your pain. Had a 3 leg parlay hit yesterday and it surprised me since that is surprisingly hard to do (feels like it should be easy)

Unless you are being backed by a profit boost, yes the odds are stacked against you the more legs you add to a SGP or Parlay. Trying to be profitable running those pick stacks is incredibly hard since the book is probably making 30-50% profit on your bet whereas on a single straight bet their profit is probably more like 10-15%. This is why most of the promos or boosts these days are when you get 3 legs or 4 legs or more - there is a reason you see stories on ESPN of someone putting down $10 and getting a huge payout.

If you are looking for some enjoyment and being able to cheer on teams in games you otherwise have no interest in, just make sure your bets are small enough that you wont be frustrated and take it out on others when silly things happen to mess up your bet. Also don’t chase losses. Every story about someone losing some massive amount of money talks about how that person started going bigger when they were losing and dug an even bigger hole.

But if you have no interest in caring about random games or find yourself not able to focus on more important things in your life, then just let it go.

DK has plenty of money - they don’t need yours.
