NBA Parlay Tonight is a free reference and tool site built for bettors who want to understand parlay math, shop tonight's lines, and make faster, smarter decisions before tip-off. The person behind it is Blake Sheridan, a former casino floor supervisor who spent nearly a decade watching how the house prices bets — and how players routinely pay more vig than they need to.
Who is Blake Sheridan?
Blake has covered NBA betting markets for nine years, tracking everything from the 2018 Murphy v. NCAA Supreme Court ruling that cracked open nationwide legalization, to Missouri going live on December 1, 2024 as the 39th legal sports betting state. That timeline matters because the parlay landscape has changed dramatically — same-game parlays barely existed when PASPA fell; today they drive a significant share of handle in every major market.
Before writing about betting, Blake supervised table games. That background shapes the approach here: plain math, no hype, honest odds. If a same-game parlay carries one of the highest house edges of any wager type at a sportsbook — and it does — that gets said plainly rather than buried.
