The PARLAY CAFÉ

Freshly brewed parlays, long shots and straight picks for primetime NFL and NBA — broken down on video every day, and sweated out with thousands of us in the room. Fill up, and let’s ride.

How it started

Café Origins

The Café began as a few friends who loved cooking up parlays for primetime NFL & NBA games, but expanded into something none of us saw coming.

Back in 2023, we posted our plays publicly on socials for fun to add a little more excitement to the bets and see if anyone at all would be interested. Within months, the Café reached millions of people and the community across all of social media grew.

Now, thousands of parlays, and hundreds of millions of views later, it’s grown far beyond just a few friends posting bets. Sure, the Café’s official bets have gotten sharper, but the real accomplishment is bringing together this many people who love sports as much as we do.

How it grew

The Café Membership

After that first year of posting, we followed the advice of many of you, and launched the membership to give us an outlet to reach you all directly. Not only has it given us a way to offer more bets & get the plays from the videos out early, but it’s given us the Discord, where we’ve been able to really build the Café community.

The Café Discord created an open dialogue between everyone, which has set the tone for us all learning together, and using it as a resource for research. There’s also nothing like a last second clutch, when you’re experiencing it with thousands of us together in real time.

It’s also let us organize our monthly ladder contest, weekly giveaways, a yearly March Madness bracket, and so much more. The daily videos haven’t gone anywhere — but the membership has allowed the Café to grow around them.

Daily

The video play, early

The play from that day’s video, broken down and sent to you hours early before it goes public anywhere else.

Daily

The extra play(s)

A second bet that never makes the videos, broken down just as fully. Some days there’s a third, or even a fourth play.

Always on

The Discord

Where the plays get discussed, props get picked apart, and the sweats happen live — whether it’s for one of our plays or yours.

Monthly

The Ladder Contest

Everyone starts on Day 1. You climb until there’s one person left, and the top three all take something home.

Weekly

Giveaways

Every time the plays pull through, we run one in the Discord.

Before you order

Questions we get a lot.

What sports do you cover?

NFL and NBA are the big two. We never miss a primetime NFL game, we’ll typically run four different +100 plays on NFL Sunday, and we cover every NBA slate.

We’ll still sprinkle in MLB, UFC, NHL and soccer when we see slates we’re confident in. Baseball especially — that’s the one we’ve been working into the menu more the last couple of seasons.

What time do plays go out?

It changes day to day depending on the slate, but every play goes out the moment it’s placed. The video play reaches members hours before the video does — on average around 11am ET, though it can often land later if we’re waiting on injury reports — and just as often the night before, if we see something we love right away.

The daily extra play(s) typically follow a couple of hours after that.

How does the Ladder Contest work?

It’s a monthly contest to see who can hit the most +100 plays in a row. Everyone in the membership gets a single entry into the channel we open for it, and it starts on Day 1. Hit, and you move on to Day 2. Miss, and you’re out. It runs day after day until there’s one person left standing.

First place takes $200 plus a sports jersey of their choice, and second and third take $50 each. If the winner gets to 10 days in a row, there’s another $300 on top of that.

Always a ton of fun, and great to see what people are rolling with on those final days!

What are the giveaways?

Any day the Café plays all hit, we run a giveaway in the Discord. We @everyone in the main channel announcing the sweep, then pick at random from whoever reacts to the message — usually two or three people, $50 each.

From there we reach out over Discord to sort out how to send it, and it goes out within seven days.

What happens in the offseason?

The Café runs on the sports calendar. Once the NBA season wraps up in mid-June, we take a break from posting videos until the NFL returns at the start of September, and the membership pauses with it — nobody gets charged when we’re not posting.

The Discord of course stays open and active, with us still sweating lots of baseball and UFC over the summer months. We just aren’t sending out the official plays through DubClub, or posting videos, in July and August.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, through DubClub. Billing and cancellations are handled entirely on their end.

Payments run through Stripe, who DubClub partner with to process every subscription on the platform. It’s the same processor behind a huge share of the checkouts you already use, so your card details go to Stripe — never to us.
