Where can I find a line (or some parlay) of The Cardinals winning the next TWO games in the series. I only play on sportsbook and I dont think they offer this parlay. I also need to be able to deposit up to $1500 total over the course of today and tommorrow ( i think sprtsbook has $1000 limit per day)

Any help would be appriciated!

Do you mean for the Cards to win the series? Pinny has the line at +181. They also have a first deposit bonus of %10 up to $500, so getting in $1500 shouldnt be a problem.

Anywhere from +180 to +190 on Tradesports.

Maybe I'm being an idiot, but wouldn't he be better off parlaying game 6 and 7 together? The line for tonight puts STL as a 60% fav to win, and the line for Game 7 will likely be around even or possibly somewhat in Houston's favor. Putting those together makes a more reasonable payout somewhere between 3 and 4-1.

I don't do baseball parlays ever, so maybe I'm missing something. Do books not allow open parlays like that?

They don't need to. You can set up your own parlay by betting on the Cards to win game 6, and then using your winnings to bet on the Cards to win game 7.

You really think Houston could be a favorite in game 7? I think they'll be around +120, maybe more, even with Clemens pitching. I think the public will be all over the Cards in a game 7 driving the line even higher closer to game time.

Even if Houston is a +120 dog (making STL a -130), you still would need a payout of almost 3-1 to make it worthwhile to take a series price. +180 isn't even close. Like DougOzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz said, just create your own parlay by betting your full amount on Game 6, and then again on Game 7 by betting your bet + winnings from 6. This is the best way to go mathematically. This also gives you the out if you win Game 6 but get nervous about 7, you can pocket some of your winnings.

Nonetheless, I think the line will be close to even for Game 7 if we get there. The public likes STL I'm sure, but they also like superstars like Clemens and if they see him as a dog, they're going to pounce all over it.

Your math is wrong. If StL is a 60% favorite in both games, that means they are 36% to win the series. That translates to a ML of +178, which is almost exactly where the series price sits.
