be a decent bet?

You have guys like Edgar who is super hard to finish, has cardio and pretty good boxing and Mccall who is very quick could be tough fights to call.
all those lines shifted out of your favor...reem was -350, dunham +110, edgar +180...at least they were on 5 dimes...havent checked in the past few days...either way tho, i think thats a losing parlay IMO...sure its only $5 but i see 2 losers on that card...youre better off betting them straight and if the 1st bet wins just throw it all on the next one...

I don't understand why anyone would parlay the 2 to 1 favorites when they can just make a straight bet on Demian Maia. I'm not putting up $100 only to win $50 on Overeem + Rashad.

I like Maia a lot, too....but a lot of others like Fitch. Why so confident?

How does this look

Ian McCall VS Joseph Benavidez
Benavidez -250
Frankie Edgar VS Jose Aldo
Edgar +175
Demian Maia VS Jon Fitch
Fitch -210
Risk 15.00 To Win 70.25

Too risky? or decent, thoughts?
