It's a horrible financial decision to parlay in the first place, but when you parlay games at all different times it takes it to a whole nother level of stupid (sorry for being blunt),
For instance, you parlay a couple 1pm games, a couple 4pm games, fine, that's even a bit over the top but sometimes the 1pm games run into the 4pm'ers so I can understand - example - the Jets/Browns today running into OT, but to add the 8:20pm game, or *shudders* the MNF game just does not make sense. There are so many things that could happen before and you're never going to run into the problem of the 4pm games bleeding over into the 8:20pm game, or hell even the MNF game
It's much more logical to parlay your 1pm games (and sometimes add in the 4pm's) and then collect your money and then make a play...
Say you have 100 to win 1000 on a 4 teamer,
1pm - Bengals +7,
1pm - Jaguars PK,
1pm - Bills PK,
8pm - Steelers -5.5
If you had just done the 3 teamer, you're getting 100 to win 600, you have 700 now going into the 4pm games, or even the 8pm game. When you add a team in the 8pm time slot you're essentially risking all 700 to win 400 on that Steelers play, just not a smart financial decision, plus, would you really like the Steelers that much to risk all that $? Probably not.
I tried to put it in simple terms, wrote it quick, and wow at Felix Jones with the long TD run as I type this, but I want to pass along any knowledge I can to you guys - I hope it makes sense, and none of you will ever parlay games at different times (and different dates)
There is nothing worse than the guy that parlays a bunch of Sunday games, and then throws in the Monday Night Football game with them, nothing. That is how you lose long term.
