Have you guys ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? I think that comes into play with sports betting where bettors who are disproportionately men feel like in sports they know better than the chances of the thing happening.

Regular bet, you know, you bet $10 on the Lakers to win. Same game parlay is you bet $10 that the Lakers are going to win, but also that LeBron James is going to score 20 points, and also that Austin Reeves is going to score 10 points, and the more steps you add to it, the higher your payout will be. But every single step has to be successful. Even if one of the 10 fails, then your bet loses.
