the math of betting, why professionals would never make this bet
If this bet wins or loses is totally irellevent.
To make this bet you have assume that each leg of the bet is +EV, if so then you would make far more money in the long run betting on each individual game BUT shopping around for the best odds on each game, which are unlikely to be at the same bookie.
You would have the same amount of wins/losses but you would get paid more on every game that wins.
This is enough to turn break even players into decent winners.
