Re: parlaying bets

You'd be betting that the score goes under 7 not 8.

This is 100% inaccurate.
Why not keep it simple? The total is 7½. If it goes under that (1,2,3,4,5,6,or7) you win. If it goes over that (8,9,10,11,etc) you lose.
When it's a low-scoring game, it's easier for that team with the +1½ to stay close. In this case, if the team you are betting against scores at least three runs, you lose. You're really painting yourself into a corner.
Take the fav, take the under, even take the -1½. But don't parlay the -1½ to the under. Parlaying -1½ to Under11 is bad; parlaying -1½ to under7½ is awful.
