TSP Live Education: Using TSP Portfolio Parlay/Rollover Selections for Straight Bets

Every football season brings in a wave of new faces to the TSP Live community. One of the most common questions I get:
“What’s the best way to follow all the content?”

The reality? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—but there is a strategy many veteran users swear by. It’s simple, selective, and has produced solid returns over the years—even dating back to when The Sharp Plays first hit Twitter in 2011.


It’s Not Just the KB Consensus

While blind following the KB Consensus is a proven option with three years of strong performance behind it, that’s not the strategy I’m talking about here. Anyone can figure out how to follow KB.

What many overlook is this:
Using the individual selections from my parlays or rollovers as straight bets.


🎯 Parlay Legs as Straight Bets

Here’s the play:
When I post a three-leg parlay, some TSP Live subscribers:

  • Bet the full parlay
  • Bet a round robin with the same legs
  • And also bet each leg individually as straight wagers

Obviously, if you’re staking 1 unit on each of these, it can quickly add up. So adjust based on your comfort level and bankroll. The key takeaway is this:

🧩 Parlay legs are often my top-rated plays for the day. I’m not randomly throwing them together. I’m building these exotics using what I believe are the sharpest angles available at the time.


🔍 Why It Works

If I’m trying to hit a parlay or keep a rollover alive, you better believe I’m putting my best content forward.

Take this past weekend:

  • Saturday: Parlay went 0-2-1
  • Sunday: Parlay lost, but legs went 2-1
  • Weekend Overall: 2-3-1 on parlay legs

No, it wasn’t perfect—but it was a much more manageable filter. Instead of sifting through 40+ angles from TSP Live, this strategy narrowed it down to just six.

And when things click? You cash the straight bets and hit the parlay for a double bonus. 💰


🔥 Pay Attention to Wager Size

Not all parlays are created equal. Here’s how to tell the difference:

  • Candy Money Parlay: I’m taking a shot. It’s fun money, not high confidence.
  • Rollover Play (0.3–1+ units): This is serious business. These selections carry weight.

Reading between the lines on how much I’m wagering gives you insight into my confidence level on those legs.


🧠 Don’t Blind Follow—Think Then Wager

My mission with TSP Live is to get people to think first, then wager.
Blindly paying and tailing handicappers is a losing game. You don’t learn, and worse—you usually lose.

If that kind of blind-following actually worked, you’d be reading someone else’s content today.

That said, I know some people just want picks and don’t have time to handicap. For those folks, my parlays and rollovers—public and subscriber—can serve as a smart shortcut to action.


🏁 Final Word

Following the legs of my parlays as straight bets is a time-tested strategy.
It filters the flood of content into something manageable and gives you consistent, high-quality angles.
And when the parlay hits? 🍾 That’s just the cherry on top.

Good luck today—and may your action treat you well! 🙌
